How it plays out

Seattle Seahawks vs Washington Commanders is a cross-division NFC test that could swing the conference picture. Washington Commanders are favored at 60% (WAS -1.5), yet Seattle Seahawks's 40% says this is no walkover.

Tactically, Seattle Seahawks will want to lean on 12th-man edge to attack Washington Commanders, whose trench depth is the obvious pressure point. Going the other way, Washington Commanders's explosive plays could punish Seattle Seahawks if red-zone offense goes unaddressed. Expect both staffs, Mike Macdonald and Dan Quinn, to script around exactly that battle.

Keep an eye on Jaxon Smith-Njigba (WR) and Jayden Daniels (QB): the two most likely to decide it with a single play. Seahawks get the home crowd, worth a few points of swing before kickoff.
