Seattle/Washington NFL Playoffs (Erik Scheponik)
Seattle and Washington UNDER 39
Matchup between two very underrated defensive units, both ranking among the NFL’s top 8 in both yards per play and points per game. The Redskins’ D is top notch, and has been playing unbelievably inspired since the death of its leader Sean Taylor. For the season, they allow only 19 ppg, 305 ypg, and 5.0 ypplay, and that’s come against a very good slate of opposing offenses, Dallas twice, NYG twice, New England, Green Bay, Arizona, Detroit, and Minnesota. Seattle has played only one elite defensive unit on the season, and they were blanked 21-0 by Pittsburgh. The Seahawks do have a very good passing attack, but they may be compromised by today’s expect rain and wind. On the other side of the ball, their defense excels at rushing the passer, and Washington’s beat up O-line will have trouble containing Seattle up front. Joe Gibbs knows this, and he’ll play his type of playoff football…Pound the running game, and let his defense try to win the game like they did the entire month of December. Not sure it will be enough at this venue, but it will eat up clock, and the elements help our cause as well. Seattle 19-14
