NFL Divisional Playoffs Matchup: Washington RedSkins At Seattle SeaHawks
The latest NFL Football Odds has the Seahawks favored by 9.5 points.
The road-weary Washington Redskins go into the hostile territory of the Seattle Seahawks this Saturday afternoon. At first glance, the skins look like a solid bet. They are 40-21 ATS as road dogs of 3.5 to 9.5 since 1992, are 6-0 against NFC West teams, and are 6-1 after 2 consecutive SU wins. Plus, the advantage of having one of the greatest NFL coaches in history also sweetens the skins side. But, teams who are playing their third game in a row, especially entering the 2nd round of the playoffs are quite dismal.
Psychologically, theyve proven themselves to be a good team by beating their first opponent as a road team. This may give them a false sense of superiority, and given the skins inefficiency in scoring, Seattle will give them fits on both sides of the ball. The skins will have to face a well rested hawks team that is coming off a loss and seeking to avenge its 20-17 loss against these same skins last October. Teams in this situation are a glaring 8-0-1 ATS. Add to the fact that the home teams in the second round of the playoffs win SU and ATS at about an 80% rate, its tough to go against Seattle in this spot.
