The Seattle Seahawks are 0-3 in one-score games, including a pair of overtime losses and that inability to close games out has Seattle in last place in the NFC West. Quarterback Russell Wilson and running back Chris Carson have combined to miss nine games.

Two of the top producers in a deep and talented receiver class to come out of the 2019 NFL draft class will be front and center for this one.
Seattle’s DK Metcalf has 46 catches but is averaging a career-low 13.8 yards per reception. Washington’s Terry McLaurin has 54 catches for 735 receiving yards.
Washington’s odds to win the NFC East have fallen to +2000 but it is still better than Seattle’s +10000 odds to win the NFC West.
