Experts' picks, Redskins at Seahawks
As you know by know, oddsmakers are favoring the Seahawks to win this Saturday by three points. Three points for Seattle at rocking Qwest Field means oddsmakers believe the Redskins have more than a decent shot. So which team is the national media choosing to win the Wild Card game?
ESPN is 5-3, Seahawks. USA Today is also 5-3, Seahawks. Dr. Z over at SI.com (who always seems to pick the 'Hawks to lose) is -- surprise, surprise -- picking the Redskins, 31-27. Last night on HBO's Inside the NFL, Bob Costas and Marino like the Seahawks, Chris Carter likes the Redskins (no pick for Collingsworth). CBS Sportsline's experts (they pick against the spread) are 5-1, Redskins.

Saw this story and that it was worth a read. An AP story, lifted from a French agency, on why Qwest Field is so loud.

I am soooooo sick of hearing about how the redskins are going to travel across the country and put a whoopin on us?! I cant wait till sunday morning when instead of the redskins they will be talking about seattle, and how we will due in Lambou field. Last time I checked we only lost one game this year at home. And that was during the time when our team was trying to find an identity. I foresee a big seattle win. I know that if I'm sick of hearing about the redskins, then the team, especially the defense is sick of it. I think seattle goes into this game with a chip on they're shoulder and mops the floor with this third string quarterback. I wonder how LOUD the 12th man will be now that we've been called out, I know that I will be screammin' my guts out. Go Hawks!!!

Ah, finally tracked down that story. It's written by Gregg Bell, local AP Sports Writer.
