Seattle at Washington

Why is Washington favored here? Yes, they can play defense but they have no offense to speak of. They've scored two offensive touchdowns so far in their first two games. They are 2-0 but we all know they really should be 1-1. Those two offensive touchdowns, and the Redskins victory in that game, came as a result of Cowboys brain-farts. Similar to the San Diego situation, Mike Holmgren "rediscovered" Shaun Alexander last week as he rolled to 140 yards and 4 touchdowns. Seattle is the better team here. If Alexander can have mediocre success, the Redskins won't be able to score enough to keep up. We'll back the better team as an underdog here for one star.
