Seattle Seahawks at Washington Redskins (*Survivor Pool Lock of the Week*)

This week I’m saving my “Survivor Pool Lock of the Week” for Monday Night Football. The Seahawks are coming off of a bye week and the Redskins are coming off of a Thursday night beat down at the hands of the New York Giants. I just can’t see Pete Carroll losing his focus and letting the Seahawks overlook Washington. Kirk Cousins is a decent backup quarterback, but he’s not a guy that will scare me away from picking a team that won the Super Bowl on the backs of their secondary. I don’t think the Washington offense can keep pace with Russell Wilson and Seattle through four quarters and ultimately the Seahawks will pull away late to seal this game.

Seahawks 27
Redskins 14
