1/5 NFL PLAYOFFS Washington @ Seattle

[Spartacus]

They were 5-7 and had just lost an emotional game in the wake of safety Sean Taylor's death. But instead of fading, they stormed to four straight wins and the final Wild Card spot in the NFC when Minnesota lost their final two games. Now they draw the Seahawks, a team that has changed its offensive tactics in the wake of Shaun Alexander's poor season.

Oddsmakers currently have the Seahawks listed as 3½-point favorites versus the Redskins, while the game's total is sitting at 40½.

The Redskins defeated Dallas 27-6 as a 9-point favorite in Week 17. The combined score fell UNDER the posted over/under total (39).

Clinton Portis rushed for 104 yards on 25 carries with two touchdowns for Washington, while Todd Collins completed 22-of-31 passes for 244 yards with a touchdown.

The Seahawks lost to Atlanta 44-41 as a 1-point favorite in Week 17. The combined score went OVER the posted over (38.5).

Seneca Wallace completed 17-of-22 passes for 206 yards with two touchdowns and an interception for Seattle, while Maurice Morris rushed for 91 yards on 12 carries with a touchdown.


Team records:
Washington: 9-7 SU, 7-7-2 ATS
Seattle: 10-6 SU, 9-6-1 ATS
