Seattle Seahawks vs. Washington Commanders Prediction

I’m on the Seahawks in this one. Not often that I’ll lay over a TD in a battle of the backups, but Drew Lock is one of the better backups in the league and the Seahawks have a fantastic defense that can make life hell for anyone at the best of times, let alone a Washington team trying to sort through this Jayden Daniels injury. I’ll back Seattle here.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Seattle -7.5
