    Didn't think I'd have to, but SEAHAWKS -3 = LOCK



    This Seahawks team isn't a joke.

    Sherman has been the best corner in the league this year and other than Tillman, it hasn't even been close. Browner is also shut down. They understand that Washington is a playaction passing squad with very subpar numbers when passing 'straight up'. Washington, for all their gadgets in the run game has very few pass plays and even fewer effective ones. Their highlights this year are great but they are all the same. Get these DBs their adderal and theyll be studied up in no time.

    Furthermore, this team does not miss tackles. You are not going to be seeing RG3/Morris fooling the seattle LBs on their pistol options like they did to Ware. Ware played a truly awful game, they had him standing on an island on every playfake. Ryan is an idiot, and a terrible defensive coach.

    Yes, both teams finished the season extremely well, and Washington appears to have shored up their abysmal pass D. But shored up does not equal elite. There are yards to be had, and Russ wilson does not get sacked, nor does he throw interceptions. This is a team built to keep a lead, and with the way their offense has developed they have been getting these leads early and often. Seattle will score a TD on their first possession and not look back. This will be a 5-13 point victory.

      That is great that you can be successful with this stuff for the past year. However, I am going to disagree with this game being a lock. I would understand you calling it a "lock" if it was in Seattle, but they are traveling into Washington DC. The Redskins are on a crazy winning streak that has them feeling like they are "ten feet tall and bulletproof". Seattle has been putting up crazy numbers since starting their five game winning streak. You are going to have Morris and Lynch (2nd/3rd in rushing) pushing each other. If Morris has another game like he did last week vs Dallas, then I believe Seattle is going to have their hands full. RGIII has one of the best play actions in the game today. If you look at Wilson and RGIII statistics, then you will notice that Griffin has half the interceptions of Wilson with a better completion percentage. Wilson is a great quarterback and seems to always make the right decision. However, if the Redskins can keep him from scrambling on third downs, then they will have a chance to win this game. Also a note, the Seahawks lost five games during the regular season, but every loss came away from Seattle. Fedex Field will be the loudest its been since the 90's and I see RGIII winning this rookie quarterback battle.

      My projection
      Washington 23 Seattle 17

        No offence but seattle played 5 road games in the first 8 weeks of the season & are 2-1 in their last 3 road games with big wins in DECEMBER.Washington is the div champ of the loser division.Ground & Pound isn't a winner & won't get it done vs seattle.

          meh. ppl will be washington, this is gambling. this is how vegas evens out.....

          seattle is the easy play. outclass them in every position. washington looked like a below average team last week beating a below average team. I'd say their the worst team in the post season.

            Statistically Russell threw the VAST majority of those interceptions in weeks 1-8, If you look at his stats since then he has thrown only 1-2 interceptions. Looking at the trends, If Wilson didn't play so shitty weeks 1-8 he would have nearly no interceptions on the season. I am getting behind oddtodd here. Seahawks had a harder schedule and prevailed in each underdog game. RG3 played a bunch of mediocre teams and didn't beat them by a whole lot. Like take their last game for example against the Cowboys. The Cowboys were using their second and third string defensive line against RG3 and the guy couldn't run up more than 10 points. Hell, the game would have ended up going into OT if Romo didn't throw that interception to end the game.

            I would bet the farm on Seahawks -3. Redskins defense is nonexistant compared to the Seahawks and that is going to show when RG3 gets stuffed hard on the first drive and Wilson just continually pounds the endzone for 7 points on each drive. I DARE RG3 to try and run against Kam Chancellor.

              Russ just needs to take care of the ball. Hope their WR's can beat man coverage b/c I expect Haslett to blitz him all day to try and force mistakes. Washington probably knows they are outclassed by this Seahawks team and will hold nothing back in this one. Like the Seahawks a lot but not going into it thinking its free money or a lock

                  NFC wild card teams >>> AFC wild card teams; at this point id take GB/Sea over any of the AFC teams in any building, and Wash against them all except in houston as long as RG isn't at 100%. No slight on the skins as I think they are a good team. But just to add another factor in the hawks favor. Lynch against top 10 run d's this year has averaged 85.5 yds/game and amassed 3 tds in 4 games. His style of running, and the teams zone blocking scheme should still have enough success to carry them .

                    If you don't call something a lock on this site nobody comments. The term lock has essentially been downgraded to bet of the week. I have had a keen sense for the Seahawks all year and they have easily been my most profitable team, last year it was the Eagles that I had figured be it them winning/losing. If I can save/win atleast one person money, im happy

                                Solid and correct play..

                                1) Washington has the 3rd worst pass defense in the NFL.

                                Pete Carroll's boys are ripped and ready for this.

                                    A loser division that came down to the final week between the Super Bowl champion Giants and the flooded talent in Dallas? This your first nfl season, kid?

                                      Yeah it's my first nfl season--Giants 9-7 dallas 8-8 philly 4-12 What a division-- being 9-6 going into the final week isn't the earmark of a good squad.
                                      Sorry but the giants were eliminated when the bears(another team that didn't make it) won before Dallas & Washington even played.It came down to last game because the division is weak. Add to that this is the worst possible matchup for washington(the weakest team to make the playoffs)there is a very good chance Washington is one & done.
                                      Please go right on drinking the NFC east koolaid.

                                        I agree with Mr. Chow..I like the Hawks. They have better players..especially with RG hobbling. Coaching is equal. Only concern would be Wilson being overwhelmed by the rowdy road crowd in his first playoff game. They should be fine if he plays like he does normally. My picks for WC weekend. Hawks, Packers, Texans and Colts

                                            This Seahawks team is a joke....on the road. Dont forget the lucky Fail Mary earlier in the year against GB helped this team get in the playoffs. Washington wins outright.

                                            In fact all home teams should win this week fairly easily.

                                                Seahawks defense is the best in the NFL.

                                                and Defense travels...

                                                If the Seattles dont turn the ball over i think they have a good shot in this game

                                                  Sorry but the giants were eliminated when the bears(another team that didn't make it) won before Dallas & Washington even played.It came down to last game because the division is weak. Add to that this is the worst possible matchup for washington(the weakest team to make the playoffs)there is a very good chance Washington is one & done.
                                                  Please go right on drinking the NFC east koolaid.
                                                  NFC East is the toughest division in football. But I guess Super Bowls can't be viable arguments in your world with the hatorade you have flowing on tap. Who do the Seahawks have to compete with other than an overrated 9ers squad that even changed QBs mid season? Put that bankroll on the Hawks and pray for another replacement ref call in the final seconds, kid... Boy the books are gonna love you this weekend.

                                                      yeah really that is one of my lifetime goals to be a professional gambler.

                                                      that would be awesome.

                                                        NFC West 2-1 vs NFC East and the 2 wins were over the teams fighting to win the division.

D playing tough suspended corner coming back for play off game. Go look up how -3 road favs faired this year in the nfl lol. Public blood bath im sorry to say. And yes NFC east records are crappy but look who the division beat as a whole. But no matter what Nfc east division games always played tough.

                                                            Just heard that despite their "top 10" rush defense, they still allow a horrible 4.6 yds per carry...like 6th worst

                                                            might be something to think about, but I still lean hawks by anything less than 3.5

The seahawks division IS better but not by much AT ALL. Also Seattle is not great on the road.. only teams that they beat on road by more than 4 was Buffalo (who is god awful) and chicago, who it to seattle to overtime to beat them with a touch down... they are terrible against the spread on the road. HOWEVER im probably on the seahawks for the game, but dont forget all of washingtons losses were by 1 score.. except 1 loss to steelers.. dont expect seattle to steam roll
