Bet on NFL Playoffs – Can the Seahawks Pass the Redskins?

The Seattle Seahawks
have once again won the weakest division in
the NFL betting season, and once again the
pundits are saying that the other teams in
the NFC West are almost ready to make a move
for the top. We’ll see about that,
as this same refrain has been heard in the Pacific
Northwest for years now, yet the birds from the
Emerald City are still flying high. If you are
planning to bet on the NFL playoffs, this game
is your first chance of the season, and the bookmakers
at the BetUS sportsbook have pegged the Seahawks
as three-point home favorites over the Washington
Redskins.

The way the Seahawks
running game has been this season, they will
want to get their supposed backup running back,
Maurice Morris, involved in the game as quickly
as possible, perhaps only starting Shaun Alexander
in name. Alexander has been decidedly unimpressive
this season with just four TDs and only averaging
3.5 yards per carry. It has become clear that
Alexander has little interest on playing hard – something
he was accused of before he put up record numbers
in the two seasons before he was given a huge
contract; since then, he has looked even softer
than his detractors said he was.
Morris is clearly
now the better running back. He is faster and
has a better burst into holes than Alexander
and he also helps in the passing game. His
ability to catch passes out of the backfield
helps the coaches in their play-calling, as
they don’t have to try to disguise passing
plays anymore like they did with Alexander.

The Hawks will stick to the West Coast style
dink and dunk passing game that will help to
set up the run. This will stretch the field for
quarterback Matt Hasselbeck and allow his receivers
to get into mismatches in coverage. Hasselbeck
will try to take advantage of these and his ability
to throw the ball to any point on the field will
put a ton of pressure on the Redskins secondary.
When you bet on NFL football odds, you know
that sometimes it is the unexpected that decides
whether or not you win or lose. The key to whether
or not the Seahawks cover against the Skins could
very well be due to field position, as the Seahawks
kick coverage has been a little iffy as of late,
while Washington returners Randle-El and Cartwright
can break off a huge return at any time.
