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, they've "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, it's tough to go against Seattle in this spot.
