The Seattle Seahawks (9-4) visit the Washington Football Team (6-7) Sunday of Week 15 for a 1 p.m. ET kickoff in a matchup of two NFC playoff contenders. Here’s a look at the early Seahawks-Washington betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.
With four straight wins, Washington is the hottest team in the NFC. The WFT is now alone in first place atop the NFC East following Sunday’s 23-15 victory over the San Francisco 49ers in Glendale, Ariz. Washington dominated defensively as a field-goal underdog, scoring its only two touchdowns on a 47-yard fumble return by rookie DE Chase Young and a 76-yard interception return by rookie S Kamren Curl. The defense recorded four sacks, forced a trio of turnovers and limited San Francisco to 3-of-15 third-down conversions. PK Dustin Hopkins was 3-for-4 on his field- goal attempts. Offensively, Washington QB Alex Smith left with a “mild” calf strain late in the second quarter and was replaced by Dwayne Haskins. Combined, the two passed for 108 yards with an interception. Washington finished with only 193 total yards and was outgained by 151 yards.
Seattle bounced back from Week 13’s home upset loss to the New York Giants, by walloping the other New York team, the winless Jets (0-13), by a 40-3 count. The Seahawks easily covered as 16.5-point home favorites. QB Russell Wilson got back on track, throwing for 206 yards and four TDs while RB Chris Carson rushed for a game-high 76 yards and a score on 12 carries. Defensively, the Seahawks limited the Jets to 12 first downs and 185 total yards, including only 116 passing. The Jets’ only points came on a 45-yard field goal on their opening drive, but PK Sergio Castillo would go on to miss his final three field-goal attempts of the game.
