Play: Washington +7.5 -115
Time: 8:30 p.m. ET
Reasoning: The Redskins are better than their record indicates. They are in the top 10 in the league in both offense and defense and they also lead the NFL on first-down offense and defense. But turnovers have hurt them (minus-5 in the differential). Through the first four weeks Washington led the league in sacks (11). And it will face a Seattle team that is having trouble stopping pass-rushers off the edge. Seahawks LT Russell Okung is playing poorly for him and RT Justin Britt is a rookie. Also, Seattle's defense is not as good as it was last season, as the unit is missing six players from the 2013 squad (Chris Clemons, Red Bryant, Clinton McDonald, Brandon Browner, Walter Thurmond and Chris Maragos). Nickelback Jeremy Lane is still with the team, but he'll be out until midseason with a groin injury. The Seahawks also won't have TE Zach Miller on Monday, as he'll miss several games after undergoing ankle surgery.
Record: 194-145-8 (57.2%)
Bankroll: +115.86%
