I love it, Keep pushing us down, keep spitting in our faces, Keep underestimating us, giving us that chip on the shoulder we need to prove you wrong... 👍🏻👍🏻

Seahawks currently favored by 3 points in Vegas.

I checked the history on the point spread, and that twitter post was a bit of a lie, not surprisingly. Yes, the Commanders were favored by 5.5 points, but only back on May 20th, before training camp even opened.

By the time the season started, the Seahawks were already favored over the Commanders.

Odds mean diddly squat come kickoff. They are called betting odds for a reason. For casino’s to make money.

Actually they are basically there to keep the bets even between betting sides so that the casino breaks even and basically takes the vig.

So if Vegas favours one side its not because they think one team is better than the other, its that they think the bettors think one team is better and the odds are there to dissuade them.

I imagine Vegas has a bunch of sharps that they poll as to what odds would make them bet on the underdog. And that's where they set the line at the beginning.

I humbly suggest on {OUTDATED} tag on this post's thread or something.

And then when we beat the Commanders, we come back and laugh at how wrong they were back in May.

Seahawks -5.5 if Daniel’s isn’t playing is fair ;)
Why? What has Daniels done? They got a better defense than the Texans? Nope. Better offense than anyone we've played this season? I dont think so. We barely lost to a full strength Whiner team, and a Tampa team that's very good. We should be favored against this team, at the very least the line should be -3.5 only because it's in washington.

Those odds were set before the season it’s -2.5 Seattle on Deaft Kings and -3.5 Seattle elsewhere. Two weeks of rest and getting guys back healthy. Besides is Daniels even healthy?

I don't follow. Seattle favored by 5.5 points seems reasonable.

Nice for the Hawks that the schedule makers did Washington no favours. Short week off a road MNF game and then play a team coming off a bye

What has Daniels done? He was in the NFC Championship game LAST SEASON.

Hearing rumors that Jayden may not be ready (just yet) for next Sunday so we may be getting Mariotta again...

Bobby Wagner will have 10 tackles with each gaining 10 yards. I always get Mariota and Joey Harrington confused. One of them plays a nice piano.

I get it how people might want to believe Bobby is old and washed up but those people haven’t been paying attention. He’s still making plenty of great plays. His speed to the sideline isn’t what it once was but he prowls that LOS like a beast still
