This is the matchup you had to be hoping for, even though the 'Skins are the hottest team in football right now. The matchups just seem to favor Seattle -- I like the Hawks' great OL against the great Redskins front 7. I like our defense's ability to contain Clinton Portis (who's a bit banged up) and Mark Brunell (who can be blitzed into errors). The one thing I don't like is that Washington's passing game was like 1st or 2nd in the NFC with 14 (I think) passing plays of 40 yards or more, and if our secondary is banged up and/or rusty, they may take advantage of that.
