Bob Condotta (10-3)
Seahawks 23, Washington 16: This game always loomed as somewhat dangerous — a late-season trip east before NFC West showdowns with the Rams and 49ers. It looks no easier now, as Washington is among the NFL’s hottest teams and has a rugged defensive front. But Washington has an uncertain quarterback situation with Alex Smith hobbling and Dwayne Haskins unproven. That could open the door for Seattle to escape with a victory.
Adam Jude (9-4)
Seahawks 20, Washington 16: The Seahawks learned their lesson two weeks ago against another sub-.500 team from the NFC East, the New York Giants. At least the Seahawks better hope they learned their lesson — because the WFT has a defense capable of stopping just about any offense. But the Seahawks will win this one on the strength of their ever-improving defense, which has the clear advantage over the WFT’s depleted offense.
Larry Stone (8-5)
Washington 21, Seahawks 17: This presumed easy stretch of four games for the Seahawks, ending Sunday, isn’t quite as easy as once imagined (with the exception of the miserable Jets). The Seahawks are coming off a rout of the Jets, but it’s hard to read much into that. Washington, on the other hand, is riding a four-game winning streak (including a stunner over Pittsburgh) and has the dominant defense to give Seattle fits. If the Seahawks can’t control Washington’s imposing pass rush, it could be a frustrating game.
Matt Calkins (10-3)
Washington 24, Seahawks 21:Â Despite its losing record, Washington is playing as well as just about any team in the league. Four consecutive victories, including one over the Steelers two weeks ago, has this team in a position to upset the Seahawks, who are a modest 3-3 on the road this season.Â
