Seahawks-WFT predictions: Seattle Times writers make their picks for Week 12

Bob Condotta (5-5)

Seahawks 21, WFT 16: WFT has won two in a row, finally appearing to emerge as the team many expected heading into the season, while the Seahawks have lost four of five and are reeling. So why pick the Seahawks? Just a feeling that Russell Wilson will have finally shaken off the rust from his layoff and that Metcalf and Tyler Lockett are a good matchup against WFT’s secondary and will turn in just enough big plays to get it done.

Adam Jude (6-4)

Seahawks 24, WFT 17: Who the heck knows what to expect from this Seahawks offense right now? But the Seahawks have never lost three consecutive games with Russell Wilson starting, and the hunch here is Wilson will be much better in a prime-time opportunity Monday night. 

Larry Stone (4-6)

WFT 27, Seahawks 20: The Washington Football Team is coming off back-to-back wins over Tampa Bay and Carolina. The Seattle football team has lost five of its last six games and is coming off a particularly troubling loss to Arizona. You’d think the desperation of their plight — a 5% playoff chance at 3-7 — would bring out the best in them, but it hasn’t yet.

Matt Calkins (7-3)

Seahawks 24, WFT 21: Seattle has been struggling, but Russell Wilson now has two games under his belt since returning from injury. The rust will be off, and the Seahawks will squeak out a much-needed victory.
