Seahawks-Skins Preview
***This is the first in a four-part series of Divisional round NFL Playoff previews. Feel free to contribute by posting your predictions in the comments.***
My joy over the previously 5-6 (and popular preseason pick for last place in the NFC East) Washington Redskins being just two wins from the Super Bowl is enough to make you sick, so I'll let other bloggers handle this one:
· Seahawks Fans Anonymous posts 10 things he hates about the "Foreskins," including:
"4. Washington DC: If ever there was a sticking cesspool of base villainy, it is the Capitol of this great nation. Its murder rate is so high that gang bangers in Compton and insurgents in Baghdad have a longer average lifespan. Whats even worse, George W. Bush lives there." and "2. Mark Brunell: He is the best University of Washington Quarterback ever... FOR ME TO POOP ON!."
· Saved by the Blog posts a rebuttal to all 10 of Seahawks Fans' points, including this gem:
"You live in Seattle, a city known for rain, Starbucks and losing teams. Go get another double venti soy two-pump vanilla gingerbread latte."
Thankfully, they both agree that:
"If there was ever an owner who deserved to lose every game for the rest of his life until he went into bankrupcy and was forced to wander the streets penniless begging for a nickel so he could get a bottle of hooch, it would be [Daniel Snyder]."
· Sportz on Skins is able to break it down objectively:
"Washington's offense will be a bit better....as Seattle's defense isn't as stout as Tampa's. But Seattle's offense is a lot better. Expect a steady dose of Shaun Alexander...forcing the Skins to come up to the line. When that happens, look for Hasselbeck to get big plays against the Skins beat up secondary. If they can do all that, they'll get their first postseason win since 1984. Seahawks 24-13"
My pick? Skins 24-20. What's yours?
Bonus: Hear SI's Peter King break down this game on SBL.

Seabags and Alexander run roughshod over the Skins as their luck finally comes to an end.
Seahawks 27
Redskins 20 -
You take a two dimensional offense with portis and moss, which their defense with the sond that could shut the passing game down leaving Lavar and co. to contain Shaunn Alexander 24-13 Skins

Jamie, I'm think fairly in line with your score. I'll have mypicks up tomorrow officially.
I just can't seem to get over the fact that the majority of Seattle's wins this year were against the bottom half of the nfl. Beat Zona twice, beat SF twice, beat St. Louis twice. Nearly half of their wins come from the own putrid division.
Critical Stat will obviously be Alexander's rushing yards. Skins held him in check (for his standards) during the regular season. I think if they hold TD Shaun to under a hundred again they win for sure ... and I like their chances of doing so.
Skins 23-21

This of course will lead to a butt-load of East coast biased idiots crying that 'everyone wanted Washington to lose to prove an East Coast bias'. It's basically the Carolina-Giants game but less competitive.
