Seahawks vs Commanders Prediction
The current betting odds have the Seahawks listed as a 3 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Seahawks have looked really good in their games this season with their 5-2 record overall which has them right at the top of the NFC West. They are off a 27-19 win over the Texans in their last one and they have been starting to roll in their games lately with one of the best defenses in the NFL. Meanwhile, the Commanders haven't looked great in their games this season with their 3-5 record overall which has them near the bottom of the NFC East. They are off a 28-7 loss to the Chiefs in their last one and they haven't looked great with Jayden Daniels missing some time this season. He should be back for this game, but the offense hasn't looked great at times and they are going to struggle against this Seahawks defense. The run game has been a big part of this Commanders offense with one of the strongest rushing attack in the NFL, but they haven't looked as good lately and this isn't an easy defense to run the ball on either. The Commanders defense hasn't looked great this season either and Sam Darnold is starting to find his groove in this Seahawks offense. The Seahawks are starting to roll now and they are also coming out of their bye week so they have had extra rest for this game while the Commanders played last Monday and are on a short week. The best way to place a bet here is on the Seahawks to cover the spread in this game.
Seahawks Commanders Prediction: Our NFL Pick for Sunday, November 2, 2025 (8:20 pm ET start time) is Seahawks 24 Commanders 17.
