Monday Night Football picks and prop bets: The Seahawks and Football Team battle to ruin the other’s draft pick

Whose postseason hopes will be all but snuffed out Monday night?

The Washington Football Team, relative to its own mediocrity, is on a heater right now.

The reigning NFC East champs are 2-0 following their Week 9 bye, both upset wins keeping their slim playoff hopes alive despite a 2-6 start. A win Monday night would put them two games behind the Dallas Cowboys in the division with two rivalry game matchups looming in the season’s final stretch. It’s not likely Washington fights its way back to repeat as division winners, but it’s still possible.

Standing in the way of a desperate comeback are the Seattle Seahawks. Seattle badly needs a jumpstart of its own as a limited defense and Russell Wilson’s snapped finger tendon have doomed it to a 3-7 start — and what could be Pete Carroll’s first losing season 2011. The Seahawks currently have a six percent chance of making it to the playoffs, and that would devolve into essential hopelessness if they can’t roll into Maryland and escape with a win in primetime.

The betting public doesn’t believe they will. Washington, at home, has swung from a 3.5-point underdog to a 0.5-point favorite. That makes this game a toss-up between two teams who’ve failed to live up to their own preseason hype.

Who’ll come out ahead and send us into the final third of the 2021 regular season? Let’s talk about it. All odds via Tipico.
