Spread (Seattle -7) Total (45.5)
Coming off a bye week and a rousing win over the Denver Broncos once again (moral victory in keeping it close this time Denver… clap, clap), the Seattle Seahawks will have to be careful not to fall into a road lull this Monday night in Washington D.C. Seattle seemed to do just that in their one loss of the season to Phillip Rivers and the sizzling San Diego Chargers. But then again, the Chargers are a heck of a lot better than the Redskins. Then again, Washington is 1-3, have lost RG3 for the year and have given up a total of 82 points in their last two contests (which they have lost). Most recently was a 31 point home loss to the Giants. Yikes…
Some have wondered if Seattle’s defense has taken a bit of step back this season. Well, considering Seattle is 6th in the league in total defense (giving up 321 total yards per game) and 11th in the league in points allowed (22 ppg)… against Aaron Rogers, Phillip Rivers and Peyton Manning, the team at Jeff Allen Sports thinks that’s pretty good.
Seattle also looks improved offensively from a year ago. Percy Harvin is healthy, Marshawn Lynch is still a beast and Russell ‘I used to be a bully’ Wilson owns the league’s best QB passer rating.
Seattle has also been a pretty good team to bet on lately, while Washington hasn’t. The Seahawks are 4-1 against the spread in their last 5 contests. The Redskins are 4-8 ATS in their last 12 games overall and 2-4 ATS in their last 6 at home.
Concerning the total, the total has gone Under in 8 of the last 11 contests for Seattle.
