Most sites now have the Seahawks at 3.5 points. Wouldn't surprise me to see it dip to 3 or 2.5 before game time. The line is dropping. Most sites now have the Seahawks at 3.5 points.

Just Wow. I can't see how the Redskins are less than 2 point favorites, and would have put them at 3 1/2-4 1/2 point favorites; the Seahawks have not been impressive AT ALL this season, and have benefited from a very soft schedule; in contrast, the Redskin's schedule was computed to be the hardest in the league. The Seahawk's only "impressive" win came in week 1 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Though they've won a few quality games over near-good also rans, they've been unimpressive against the better teams (they're second best victory was a narrow defeat of the Eagles). They've been blown out by quality teams they've played. OTOH, the Redskins have been blown out ONCE, by the Patriots, and have lost every other game in the last two minutes or later in the game. Nope, even in Seattle, I can't see the Seahawks being favored. In Seattle, I can see the Redskins not being favored by much. Wow. Just Wow.
