Seahawks at Washington: Game notes
- Seattle’s coming off one of the most impressive efforts of the 2020 NFL season with a 40-3 throttling of the New York Jets at home in Week 14. The victory followed a shocking 17-12 upset loss against the New York Giants, also at home.
- The Seahawks are tied with the Los Angeles Rams atop the NFC West. The Rams host the Jets Sunday as a 17-point favorite.
- Washington is riding a surprising four-game winning streak and has taken over the top spot in the NFC East entering Week 15.
- Washington has scored at least 20 points in seven straight games after being held below that mark four times in its first six games of the season.
- The Seahawks have given up fewer than 20 points in three consecutive games. They’re still allowing an averaging of 24.9 points per game for the season, though.
- Seahawks QB Russell Wilson is coming off his fifth game with at least 4 passing touchdowns this year. He has 3,685 passing yards and 36 touchdowns against 12 interceptions through 13 games.
- Washington may be switching back to 2019 first-round pick QB Dwayne Haskins for the Week 15 start after QB Alex Smith left last week’s game with a calf injury. Haskins has 4 touchdowns and 3 interceptions through four starts and the relief appearance.

Seahawks at Washington: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Seahawks 20, Washington 10
Money line (?)
The Seahawks (-250) are a little too pricey to back with a simple money line wager. If you like them to win the game, the value lies in taking them to win by at least 7 points on the spread.
PASS.
Against the spread (?)
The SEAHAWKS -6 (-110) will continue their revenge on the rest of the league following what was an embarrassing loss to the Giants. It was only their second time being held to fewer than 20 points this season. Washington will have trouble hitting that number if Smith is unable to suit up.
Over/Under (?)
Having noted the prowess of Wilson and the Seattle offense, we’ll still take the UNDER 44.5 (-110). The injuries along the Seahawks offensive line are concerning, especially against a top-rated Washington pass rush.
The fear of the Over would be if Haskins starts and Seattle is able to add defensive scores. Check the injury reports Sunday morning before betting the total.
