Las Vegas - Always gotta be careful when GOBS of money floods in on a game, and this is one of those spots. Seattle opened up at -2/-2.5/-3 depending on where you shop, but the Washington Football Team has attracted a TON of cash, and is now a -1 point favorite. Why? It's certainly NOT the 4-6 straight up record, the UGLY 3-7 mark against the spread, or, the 1-4 record at home in D.C. My guess is, it's all about Russell Wilson's THUMB! Since Wilson came back, the Seahawks have lost twice and been outscored, 40-13. Ciara's husband is only 34 of 66 since returning for just 368 yards, ZERO TDs and 2 INTs. And it's also about the stellar QB play of Washington's Taylor Heinicke. The kid from Old Dominion has led his club to two wins, completing a very, very, VERY handsome 42 of 54 (78%) for 462 yards, 4 TDs and ZERO INTs. Under normal circumstances, this would be an EASY pick to Seattle, with a healthy Wilson leading the charge. But as we've seen, Russell is anything but healthy. However, don't wanna put all my chips in the Heinicke basket, but if you MUST go to the window, or, click the app on your phone, just a very, very, VERY light tickle to the kids from D.C.
