The Seattle Seahawks and the Washington Redskins are going to square off on the NFL Playoffs odds and betting lines. Join us here at Cappers Info, as we make our Seahawks @ Redskins picks & predictions for football for what should be a great game on Sunday.

NFL Playoffs Picks: Seattle Seahawks at Washington Redskins
Date: Sunday, January 6th, 4:30 ET
Location: FedEx Field, Washington DC
NFL Playoffs Betting Odds: Seattle-3
Seattle vs. Washington Live TV: FOX

What a strange set of NFL betting lines we have here to work with! One would think that a Washington team that has won seven games in a row to win the NFC East would be the favored side over a Seattle team that has to travel across the country to get to this game. However, the oddsmakers have different plans, and in an odd turn of events, it is the Seahawks that are getting the nod, and a decent percentage of the betting action as well by the general public.

There is no doubt that the ground game is going to be the key for both of these teams, and whichever one can get more productivity from it will probably ultimately win. However, it is really difficult to decipher whether either of these teams truly have an advantage in this category or not. The Seahawks rank third in the league in rushing and are going up against the game’s fifth ranked rush defense. The Redskins rank first in the league in rushing at nearly 170 yards per game on the ground and are going against the No. 1 scoring defense in the league. When push comes to shove, we think that we would rather have RB Marshawn Lynch as the tailback, knowing that he rushed for 1,590 yards and 12 TDs this year and has the experience of playing in the biggest playoff games in his career. But, given our choice, we’d probably take QB Robert Griffin III as the quarterback and the rusher of the two, though QB Russell Wilson did set the rookie record for the most passing touchdowns in a season with 26.

Here’s the tiebreaker to us, though. We think that the Seahawks have legitimately been doing this with a strong team, and that strength on defense is only going to be getting better from where it was the last four weeks now that DB Brandon Browner is going to be back in the lineup after his four-game suspension. We really question though, whether Washington has been doing this on smoke and mirrors or not. The team still doesn’t have LB Brian Orakpo and DE Adam Carriker, and there are a total of seven starters that are already on injured reserve or are guaranteed to be out of the lineup due to suspension. That’s just too many to overcome this deep into the season. Magic can take a team so far, but in the end, there really is just no reason not to think that the Seahawks can’t come all the way to the East Coast and log a victory.

The NFL playoff schedule is out for this week, and today, I’m set to make my NFL playoffs pointspread picks for the ‘total’ in this crucial clash. The Seattle Seahawks and the Washington Redskins are going to do battle at FedEx Field in Washington DC. Join me for my Wild Card playoffs tips for this 4:30 p.m. ET kickoff that can be seen on FOX.

It’s strength vs. strength here in the final playoff game, as one of these two teams will be the eighth and final team into the second round of the playoffs for next week. There’s just a ton of intrigue around this game from so many standpoints. There are a pair of rookie quarterbacks making their debut on the biggest stage of football, there are two great running games, one fantastic secondary, and one team that has a remarkable front seven. And, we have something that we don’t see all that often in the playoffs, and that’s a road team that is favored by a field goal over a home team. What makes that even weirder? Seattle has to travel hours and hours clear across the country just to get to this one.

Wild Card Playoff Picks
Seattle Seahawks (11-5, 11-5 ATS) -3
Washington Redskins (10-6, 11-5 ATS) +3
Over/Under 46.5

In the end though, I think that it’s easy to say that this one is going to end up sailing beneath the ‘total’. Asking for 47 points in any playoff game is tough, but doing so with a pair of rookie quarterbacks, no matter how good those two rookies turned out to be this year, is a ton. Yes, I know that the Seattle offense has averaged 42.5 points per game in its last five and that the Washington offense ranked fourth in the league this year in total scoring thanks to the fact that it scored at least 27 points in its last four and six of its last seven games of the regular season. That’s no big surprise to me whatsoever.

What does this one for me is the fact that both of these teams are going to try to run the ball at one another time and time again. RB Alfred Morris is going to be running into the teeth of one of the most ferocious defenses that the NFL has to offer, one that has allowed 17 points or fewer in five straight games. RB Marshawn Lynch always has the ability to go all Beast Mode on me to ruin things, but the Redskins, for all of their flaws, still rank fifth in the game against the rush this year. If that’s the case, can either of these quarterbacks really get the job done? They’re both going to have to if there are going to be at least 47 points put on the board in this game. Go with the ‘under’.

Seattle vs. Washington Picks & Tips: Under 46.5

5Dimes SportsbookOne of my favorite plays on the Sunday NFL odds pits the Washington Redskins against the Dallas Cowboys. These two are going to be meeting at 4:25 p.m. ET at FedEx Field, and I’m going to show you which side to make your NFL pick on for this great game.

Dallas Cowboys (8-7, 6-9 ATS) +3.5
Washington Redskins (9-6, 10-5 ATS) -3.5
Over/Under 49.5

As much as I hate to make a teaser play in a game like this one, I still think that it is the right play to make when push comes to shove. This is a traditional rivalry game that has featured the underdog covering five games in a row, and each of the five meetings have been decided by a touchdown or less. That means that Dallas is going to be off to a great start in this game at +10.5 in a teaser in a game that really feels like it should be lined at a pick ‘em and not at minus the value of home field advantage.

The first meeting of these two teams featured 69 total points, but I think that was a bit of an anomaly. Prior to that game, the seven games before that in this series averaged just 31.2 points per game, and that’s in spite of the fact that one of those games reached 66 total points in Big D in 2010. The games here in DC have all been relatively low scoring over the years as well, averaging just 33.1 points per game allowed in the last 11 years.

In the end, I just don’t know that QB Robert Griffin III is ready for this stage. I know what I’m getting out of QB Tony Romo. I’m getting a guy that is going to make this a close game and is liable to really screw the pooch in the end. As long as RB DeMarco Murray keeps getting the ball and Head Coach Jason Garrett doesn’t get too impatient, this should be a game that Dallas holds Washington in the 20s and keeps this one ‘under’ the teaser number as well.

Week 17 Football Picks: Dallas Cowboys @ Washington Redskins
Date: Sunday, December 30th, 8:20 ET
Location: FedEx Field, Landover, MD
NFL Betting Lines: Washington -3
Cowboys vs. Redskins On TV: NBC

The last game of the regular season is going to be a do or die situation for both the Cowboys and the Redskins. The winner will be in the playoffs as the No. 4 seed in the NFC as the NFC East champs, while the loser will almost certainly be going home. The Skins have covered five in a row in this series dating back to the start of the 2010 season, including winning 38-31 in Arlington on Thanksgiving Day in a real bust out game for QB Robert Griffin III. There’s just a point that Washington has to crash back to earth, though, and that point has to be coming soon. QB Tony Romo and the offense have played exceptionally well over the course of the last few weeks, and in spite of the fact that last week’s game against the Saints was ultimately lost at home in overtime, we still think that this is a game that Romo can win. It will be a revitalizing game for the Dallas franchise, and it will be the one that ultimately gives Head Coach Jason Garrett a free pass into next season as the team’s head coach. There is nothing to be ashamed of if you’re the Redskins this year, knowing that they really came out of their bye week with their heads held high against some of the best that the NFL has to offer, but it just isn’t going to happen when push comes to shove.

Week 16 pointspreads are out, and here at Cappers Info, we are set to analyze the NFL odds for one of the top games on the slate. The Washington Redskins vs. Philadelphia Eagles odds are posted, and we are set to make our NFL picks for another great game.

Week 16 NFL Picks: Washington Redskins @ Philadelphia Eagles
Date: Sunday, December 23rd, 1:00 ET
Location: Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia, PA
Week 16 Betting Odds: Washington -6.5
Washington vs. Philadelphia Live TV: FOX

The biggest question that we have for the Redskins is if they are ready for this moment or not. They are going to be involved in one of the biggest games that they have played in quite some time, and if they win these last two games, they are going to win the NFC East. Coming on the road to the City of Brotherly Love is always tough, especially when you’re a favored team by almost a full touchdown. It is going to be an emotional day in Philly, as this is probably the last time that Head Coach Andy Reid will be on the sidelines here at Lincoln Financial Field, at least as the coach for the hosts. We look for Philly to give an inspired effort in the role of the spoiler in this game to at least keep this one close, and though we do think that QB Robert Griffin III is going to make some remarkable play(s) to win this game, we do most certainly want the points on our side.

NFL betting fans are running to their online sportsbooks to place their Washington Redskins vs. Cleveland Browns bets and predictions, and here at Cappers Info, we are making our Sunday football picks for this encounter.

Week 15 Football Picks: Washington Redskins @ Cleveland Browns
Date: Sunday, December 16th, 1:00 ET
Location: Cleveland Browns Stadium, Cleveland, OH
NFL Betting Lines: Washington -1
Redskins vs. Browns On TV: FOX

This is obviously a tough one to handicap, knowing that the status of QB Robert Griffin III is still up in the air and likely will be until right around game time on Sunday. However, what we definitely can work with is the fact that the Browns have been pretty darn good over the course of the last few games. Granted, they really haven’t beaten any of the truly big boys, but their playoff chances are at least still somewhat existent. Winning this one and getting some help can at least keep them alive, though obviously, that’s really not a realistic goal at this point. QB Brandon Weeden and RB Trent Richardson are getting better and better, and this team is trying to prove that it is perhaps an elite receiver and a couple offensive linemen away from really being dynamic. Washington has been great, but this is a tough road test against one of these teams that is going to stay hungry for the rest of the year. We think that the Browns are going to win their final home game of the year, regardless of whether it is RG3 or QB Kirk Cousins calling the shots for the Skins.

Redskins @ Browns Pick: Cleveland Browns +1
Washington @ Cleveland Score Prediction: Cleveland 19 – Washington 16

The 2012 NFL season is back, and here at Cappers Info, we’ll be looking at some of the best games on the docket each and every week, as we try to make the most money possible off of the NFL odds for the week. Join us on Monday, as we make our New York Giants @ Washington Redskins free picks and predictions for what should be a great clash on the gridiron.

Week 13 NFL Picks: New York Giants @ Washington Redskins
Date: Monday, December 3rd, 8:30 ET
Location: FedEx Field, Landover, MD
NFL Betting Odds: New York -2.5
Giants vs. Redskins On TV: ESPN

It’s Monday Night Football, and the game on the docket really couldn’t be much bigger than this one in the push for the playoffs in the NFC. Depending upon what happens with the Cowboys on Sunday, the Giants could be playing to go three up with four to play in the NFC East. If they lose this one though, the margin for error could be virtually nil, as will be just one game separating New York from Washington for sure, and likely Dallas as well. QB Eli Manning ripped this secondary apart in Week 7 to the tune of over 330 yards, and he has a chance to do well again this week, too. Washington has been playing great football, not the least of which came when QB Robert Griffin III came up with four TDs on Thanksgiving against the aforementioned Cowboys, but we think that he is going to be coming up short in this one when push comes to shove. In the end, the Giants are the better of the two teams, and they have gotten a feel for what RG3 brings to the table. Go with the G-Men to pick up a hard fought win in DC.

Making sports betting picks is one of my specialties, and today at Cappers Info, I’m making my Monday Football Tipster pick based upon the football trends and NFL odds for the New York Giants vs. Washington Redskins game on Monday, December 3rd at FedEx Field at 8:30 p.m. ET.

New York Giants (7-4, 5-5-1 ATS) -3
Washington Redskins (5-6, 6-5 ATS) +3
Over/Under 51

The Giants are very quietly a 3-8 team this year when it comes to ‘total’ NFL betting, and I’ve definitely taken notice of that. They are a team that generally gets better defensively when push comes to shove at the end of the campaign, and their ‘D’ should be able to put forth another solid effort this week against QB Robert Griffin III and the Redskins.

Washington has played well at times this year, especially after taking two games in a row by scoring 69 points combined in these two efforts. However, prior to that, the team scored just 13 against the Carolina Panthers and 12 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and it really doesn’t seem all that likely that they are going to do more than the 23 that they scored against the G-Men the first time around.

And then there’s the idea that the Giants are going to play suspect football as well. They came out full of sound and fury last week by beating the heck out of the Green Bay Packers, but this isn’t a game in which their backs are against the wall. Generally, that’s bad news for New York, which has played significantly worse football in games in which it has been favored by more than a field goal than games in which it was a dog. Getting to 51 is a heck of a challenge for two teams that know a lot about each other, and in the end, it feels like this is a game that should be falling short of the number, which would mark the fifth time in the last six games in this series that that were to happen.

Giants @ Redskins Tips: Under 51

Making sports betting picks is one of my specialties, and today at Cappers Info, I’m making my Thursday Football Tipster pick based upon the football trends and NFL odds for the Washington Redskins vs. Dallas Cowboys game on Thursday, November 22nd at Dallas Cowboys Stadium at 4:15 p.m. ET.

Washington Redskins (4-6, 5-5 ATS) +4
Dallas Cowboys (5-5, 4-6 ATS) -4
Over/Under 47

I’m not all that inclined to play either side of this game, but I do think that that generally makes for a nice spot for a teaser, and I believe I’ll take advantage of that fact.

I have to start this off by taking Washington. Getting double digits with a team that has a gritty quarterback in a series that has featured five straight games in Dallas decided by five points or fewer is just too good to be true. The Cowboys have only beaten one team this year by more than a touchdown as well, and that came after QB Michael Vick was knocked out of the clash against the Philadelphia Eagles after he led the team on a TD drive early in the game. The Redskins have also only been beaten by more than a touchdown once as well.

And then I’m going to go with the ‘over’. The man that has terrorized QB Tony Romo over the years, LB Brian Orakpo is on the shelf for the whole year injured, and that should give Romo time to throw the pigskin. That’s a great thing, because this Washington secondary is allowing 289.2 passing yards per game and has been prone to allowing just a ton of deep balls over the course of the year. Washington isn’t a slouch offensively with RG3 in the huddle though, knowing that he has only turned the ball over three times this year with picks, and if he hangs onto the pigskin, the team should be able to get to at least 20. As long as the Redskins get there, this becomes a slam dunk in all likelihood.

Week 12 NFL Picks: Washington Redskins @ Dallas Cowboys
Date: Thursday, November 22nd, 4:15 ET
Location: Dallas Cowboys Stadium, Arlington, TX
NFL Betting Odds: Dallas -3.5
Redskins @ Cowboys On TV: FOX

There’s something about the Cowboys that we really like in this game, though we’re very afraid that the general public is going to see that as well. The oddsmakers are insinuating that they think that Dallas is just barely the better of these two teams, and we have to think that there is at least a three or a four point spread there. QB Tony Romo should have all day to throw against a terrible Washington front seven, and if that’s the case more often than not, he should be able to get the ball up the field against a secondary that has been prone to allowing 20+ yard plays over and over again. WR Dez Bryant is starting to come on strong as well, and he had a fantastic game last week versus the Cleveland Browns. It’s just a great matchup for the Cowboys, who are going to be going all out to win this one, knowing that first place in the NFC East might be the reward for taking this Thanksgiving Day game.

Redskins @ Cowboys Pick: Dallas Cowboys -3.5

Date: Sunday, November 18th, 1:00 ET

Week 11 Betting Odds: Washington -3.5
Eagles vs. Redskins Live TV: FOX

Say goodnight to the Eagles. It’s just too easy to back Washington in this one, knowing that the team is coming off of its bye week against a team that is going to have a quarterback making his first career start. QB Nick Foles might turn out to be just what the doctor ordered for the Eagles in the long run, but he is going against a defense that has been improving quite a bit over the course of the last few weeks. QB Robert Griffin III has just one touchdown pass over the course of the last two games, but he is really doing some fantastic things with both his arm and his legs. The Skins have only scored a total of 25 points in their last two games, but they have played a heck of a lot better than what that suggests offensively. This will be the game when the Redskins finally bust out. RGIII should have a heck of a game, and he is going to put the Eagles out of their misery once and for all in the NFC East.

Eagles @ Redskins Pick: Washington Redskins -3.5

The Carolina Panthers and the Washington Redskins are going to square off in Week 9 of the NFL betting campaign. Join us here at Cappers Info, as we make our predictions for football for what should be a great game on Sunday.

Week 9 NFL Picks: Carolina Panthers @ Washington Redskins
Date: Sunday, November 4th, 1:00 ET
Location: FedEx Field, Landover, MD
Week 9 Betting Odds: Washington -3.5
Panthers vs. Redskins Live TV: FOX

The Redskins haven’t had a heck of a lot of luck at home over the course of the last year and change, knowing that they have just one win here since Week 2 of the 2011 campaign. The Redskins have the better of the two records, but they might not have the better of the two teams. QB Robert Griffin III is having the better year of he and QB Cam Newton, but these two teams look really similar otherwise. Carolina’s defense is doing a significantly better job this year of the two as well, knowing that the Redskins are allowing over 28 points per game and have conceded at least 22 in all eight of their games this year. Carolina has come close over the course of the last few weeks, losing these last four games by a combined 12 points, and it just feels like that is going to be coming to a close when push comes to shove in this one. The Panthers should be able to come on the road and get the win, but if they don’t, we still have more than a field goal’s worth of an advantage to our name to get started.

Panthers @ Redskins Pick: Carolina Panthers +3.5
Panthers @ Redskins Score Prediction: Carolina 24 – Washington 23
