The Washington Commander will host the Seattle Seahawks for Week 9’s Sunday Night Football action. The Commanders are 3-5 for the season, and have lost their last three matchups to the Chiefs, Cowboys, and the Bears. They haven’t been able to build any sort of rhythm this season, and are already off to a worse start compared to their dream-like last season.
Seattle Seahawks on the other hand have things working for them, with their new QB Sam Darnold leading the way all the way to NFC West’s top. They are surprisingly a .500 at home with a 2-2 record, but have remained unbeaten on the road, a highly unusual stat.
| Recommended Bets | Fanduel | BetMGM |
|---|---|---|
| Jaxon Smith-Njigba under 28.5 longest reception | -120 | -118 |
| Jayden Daniels under 32.5 passing attempts | -114 | -120 |
| Zach Charbonnet over 11.5 rushing attempts | -118 | -130 |
Smith-Njigba thrives on quick, precise routes in the slot, excelling at short-to-intermediate gains that rack up yards without stretching defenses deep. Facing Washington’s opportunistic corners, expect high-volumes targets but no explosive bombs, keeping his longest catch under 28.5 Seahawks’ scheme prioritizes efficiency over big plays.
Daniels dazzles with his elite rushing prowess, shredding defenses on the ground to open lanes and force quicker ball distribution. Dan Quinn may lean on a run-heavy scheme against Seattle’s front, capping his passes. The volume should stay low for under 32.5 attempts, while Daniels focuses more on efficiency.
Zach Charbonnet powers Seattle’s run-first attack vs. Washington’s very leaky defense. And with Kenneth Walker still most likely restricted, dealing with injuries, Charbonnet should be thrusted into bell-cow duty, getting at least 12+ carries.
We expect the Seattle Seahawks to walk away with a victory. The Commanders have players in and out of the lineup. Jayden Daniels is back this week, but their WR Terry McLaurin is out. They never seem to be in full strength due to injuries, and after having a dream like rookie season, Daniels’ sophomore season slump has been horrendous to watch. The momentum is all in Seattle’s favor, and we expect this game to go in their favor.
Prediction: Seahawks win the game 26-21.
