Good play Chris and IMG. Dark Horse has the right call on this one...

Maybe I'm a little bias because I live in the Washinton area but give me a break. This is a team that has never been out of any game except 1. They could have easily been 12-4 or 13-3. I know the offense looked horrible last week but remember, it was TAMPA BAY. Seattles defense shouldn't and can't even be mentioned in the same sentence with them. Once again Gibbs will control the clock with Portis just like the first game.
Let me also say Seattle is way overated - everyone knows what division they play in.
Also let me give some stats
Alexander has 28 TDs - 2 against teams with winning records
now thats a stat and it won't get any easier this Saturday
TAKE THE POINTS - THEY CAN WINComment -
I'm not sure how you can be close to this team and not realize they are 80% at best. I think your heart is talking God.Comment -
Believe me when I tell you this is not a heart bet. Remember they don't have to WIN in order for me to make MONEY. But I still believe they can win this game. Who has Seattle beat, REALLY think about it. I think the Redskins can score on this team and I don't see the Defense giving up that many points. Maybe 17-24. I'll take the 9Comment -
The more the week goes on, the more I like Washington for all the same reasons. I think this is a field-goal game either way. I do think maybe the Redskins run out of gas late if their defense is on the field too long. Washington will move the ball and score points here, and if they get in front early, Seattle will press. Hasselback is one of the best up and coming QB's in the league, but he and his offense is prone to going quarters or halves where they don't play well. Remember the 2nd half against the NY Giants?
I still think Seattle wins by 3, but I see this being a good game down to the wire. Remember, Washington outplayed a very good SD team for 57 minutes in Week 12, only to collapse late because their defense was on the field too long and Tomlinson broke two long TD runs.

chrisv, i see 5dimes has this game at 10 right now.
the thing that kinda makes me a little worried, is the travel factor. east coast teams going west don't have the best record in the playoffs.Comment -
I don't wanna hear shit about travel. If this was basketball, baseball ,or hockey where they play more than once a week I can see it, but come the fvck on. Travel is not an excuse in football, period!!!Comment -
dan who do you like? I can't tell you have said both teamsComment -
Travel is a factor in every sport. Some teams handle it better then others, but still factors in to how they play.Comment -
In other sports yes, but I just don't buy that excuse for football.Originally posted by onlòókerComment -
i'm taking the skins + the points.Originally posted by imgv94Comment -
Tell that to the Colts, what did they do the last few years in the playoffs on the road?Originally posted by IllusionComment -
Watch out bud, skins might get blown out,,Comment -
Maybe so, but if you had somehow taken the Redskins +9 in every game this season, you would be 16-1 ATS.Originally posted by imgv94
And it's not like they haven't been playing teams with the capability of blowing teams out: Seattle, at Denver, at Kansas City, and San Diego - all of those teams had at least five double digit victories.Comment -
Nice stat Razz.
Comment -
thats true razz.. very true.. See this game trips me out. I have gone
back and forth...Comment -
Didn't even realize that. That's a great stat.

I agree Razz. Sounds like you like the Skins plus the points. Is that right?Originally posted by Razz
I think there is good line value in the +9.5 I'm getting. The linesmakers know all about the condition of Portis & Brunell, so that's not much of a factor for me. What I like is that fact that the Washington offense looked like crap to the general public last week, who figures they were lucky to win. To expect a carry over to this game is where the mistake will be made. Gibbs got a lead and sat on it last week (against a solid defense), like he used to do years ago. Because of this I think there is extra value in the Skins +9.5. This line would be lower if Washington had a better offensive game last week.Comment -
Yes sir. I think they have a very good chance to win the game straight up, and I certainly expect a good effort and a competitive game.Originally posted by maritimeComment -
I do to Razz. I played the moneyline for a unit.Originally posted by RazzComment -
Keep in mind Seattle is rested, Washington has had a dog fight to stay
alive. They are playing @ Seattle. And Seattle knows they will never have
a better chance at winning there 1st playoff game in 21 years.. Seattle
has more to lose than Washington.. Really can you imagine Wash in the
NFC championship game?? I can't.. backdoor hope for bettingComment -
Not only did they NOt get blown out but they should have won all those games.Comment -
Sorry, maybe not won all those games but they clearly dominated the game in all for atleast 3 quartersComment -

I can totally imagine Washington in the NFC Championship game. Just because Seattle played a cupcake schedule and went 13-3 doesn't make them anymore deserving. I am not sure why everyone seems to believe the Washington is all of a sudden gonna go lay down and die because they have to travel and play the mighty Seahawks.
Don't get me wrong, Seattle is a very good team and could explode tomorrow if Washington is not careful with the ball but I don't expect that to happen based on their recent performance. The skins were -13 in turnover differential through 10 games. Now they are +3 going +13 through there 6 game streak.
I have seen every Skins game this year and believe me when I tell you they have played games when the team has been in a lot worse physical shape and more key injuries then they will be heading into Seattle tomorrow.
I am glad we are on the same side of this one Razz because it usually means good things when it involves the Skins. That line looks like it will get to 10 everywhere by tonight or tomorrow. Good luck to everyone tomorrow. I hope we can turn this weekend into one just like last week.Comment -
Good point. Here is the total yardage from the games I mentioned.Originally posted by GOD IM GOOD BB
Washington 352 Seattle 354
Washington 447 Denver 257 - Wow.
Washington 398 Kansas City 274 - Wow again.
The Chargers did outgain the Redskins by 100 yards, but as GIG BB mentioned, the Redskins had dominated three quarters - LT went crazy in the 4th and OT.
Denver and Kansas City were, in my opinion, the two best teams the Redskins played on the road (Tampa and NYG both made playoffs, but I feel KC is better than both these teams). Washington dominated both these teams, though they found a way to lose. Late in the season, this team finally started finding ways to win. I can definitely picture Washington in the NFC Championship game.Comment -
Seattle 27 Redskins 10
Let all you guys know some more stats here....Seattle is 32-6 at home that last 4years,8-0 this year....Hasselbeck had a great game last year in the playoffs and he is a GREAT QB at home.Originally posted by imgv94
Joe Jurevicous was not in the scheme of things when they played in Washington.
Seattle is second in the league with least points allowed,all are very healthy now.
Brunell is very limited and seattle will put alot of pressure on him and create some turnovers from this.
Also no #6 seed has ever beaten a #1 seed ever.Comment -
Tye just remember they haven't given up points because the teams they have played are all POO POO. Not that I think the redskins are going to go score 30 or 40 but they will show up and play very tough. They might be banged up a little and missing Renaldo but everyone is playing besides that. Seattle will not score over 24 in this game, the defense is sick. Also let me also say that hey had 352 yards of offense against them last time like Razz pointed out. I guess JOE FRICKIN GIBBS won't be able to figure out how to move the ball again against the MIGHTY SEAHAWKS. Believe me he will have them ready to play. I'll take GIBBS, 3 SUPERBOWL TROPHIES and the 9 POINTS. GL though on your play.Comment -
I would put a little more stock into the #6 never beating a #1 seed if they didn't just go to the 12 team format in 1990 and the 6 vs. 1 match up had happened more then 9 times during this time. It's not like we are talking about the NCAA tournament and the 1 vs. 16 is like 90-0.Originally posted by tyetye64
This is also the 1st time two #6 seeds have both made it this far. Who is to say this isn't the year one of them beat the #1 seed?
Also, Joe Jurevicous is a middle of the road WR at best. I doubt Gregg Williams is shaking his head trying to figure out how he is gonna stop him.
The Redskins don't need to win when your getting 10 points.Last edited by begolf25; 01-13-06, 01:35 PM.Comment -

First Matchup seattle-redskins
Yes they did give up 354 yards against the redskins.....but you have to consider that this was only the 4th game of the season for the rookie linebackers and new defense....they have come along ways since then and only gave up 17 points on the road in overtime.Originally posted by GOD IM GOOD BB
for playing poo poo teams...it doesnt matter....they still have to play 16 NFL teams and maybe look at the first half at home against Indy where they only allowed 6 points total first half with #1 team offense on the field.
I am still figuring Seattle by 17 at home....this team is better then any team they have ever had and well rested....Washington will not be able to audible because of crowd noise.
Joe Jurevicous is not just middle of the line reciever...he has started for 2 high caliber teams and has sure hands....Shawn Springs will not be able to go one on one against Jackson with his speed and Shawns tender groin.Seattle will have a hay day in passing offense and that will open the run for Shawn Alexander.Comment -
Didn't Tampa cut him? You know, that Tampa team who scored 10 points on the Redskins - when their defense was less healthy than they are this week.Originally posted by tyetye64Comment -
Seahawks win and cover the pread
Well I predicted Seahawks over the Redskins 27-10,
If it was for the early fumble Seattle would of covered my score......this is there year dont bet against them.Comment -
Seattle dominated my Redskins and that was without the league MVP. More evidence of why I never follow my heart with my wallet. I tried to warn all my other DC friends.Comment -
Tough that I lost this by a half point, but this was my only loss this weekend and I'm not complaing about that.
