Washington’s offensive line is decimated by injuries. In the last two games, they have given up eight sacks, which is how many they had given up in the fist five games of the season. The Seattle offensive line isn’t much better, and since the Carson injury several weeks ago they have no semblance of a running game besides Wilson. Still, I like the Seahawks at home in a high scoring game.
