Washington Hosts Seattle NFL MNF Week 12 Best Bets and Picks

Seattle began the season as a Super Bowl best hopeful.  And there was legitimate reason for the optimism.  Seattle was a perennial playoff contender under coach Pete Carroll.  However, the loss of Russell Wilson to injury and a defenseless defense has ruined Seattle’s season.  Washington didn’t share the same level of preseason optimism that Seattle had.  But this season has been a defensive disaster. Coach Ron Rivera has a strong defensive reputation.  And last year, he leveraged defense to gain a playoff spot.  But this year, the defense is worn out, covering for an inept offense.
