The NFL Week 3 Sunday slate features a matchup that is just like last week’s finale of Giants vs. Rams. It’s a coast-to-coast clash between an NFC West and NFC East team, but this time, we’re going to be on the East Coast in the nation’s capital. We’ve got the Seattle Seahawks with their first big travel against the Washington Commanders, and with this matchup featuring the reigning Super Bowl champions, you're going to want our best Seahawks vs. Commanders predictions for Week 3.

You’re also going to want to make your Seahawks vs. Commanders picks as valuable as possible, and we’ll show you how to do just that with a GUARANTEED Onyx Odds promo code bonus!

🔥 Seahawks vs. Commanders Predictions for NFL Week 3, Sunday, 9/27

Well, if for some reason you’re looking for a matchup between two teams that have QB injuries, this one’s for you. The more recent, and likely more concerning, was that of Jayden Daniels re-dislocated his elbow that sidelined him for a large chunk of last season. His absence makes it very difficult to back an 0-2 Washington team with any Seahawks vs. Commanders predictions.

Meanwhile, Seattle QB Sam Darnold got banged up back in the first game of the NFL season with a hip injury. We hit the under in that game AND the Seahawks Week 2 matchup, so do we just go that route with our NFL expert picks? It’s certainly an option, but we’ll also note that both teams have very capable backup QBs.

We just saw Drew Lock connect with WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba for THREE TDs this past Sunday, and Marcus Mariota is a veteran who has had to fill in for Jayden Daniels several times now. So, let’s see what the focus of our Seahawks vs. Commanders predictions should be, assuming those two QBs under center.

🏅 Seahawks vs. Commanders Expert Pick: Seattle -6.5 / Mariota Over 21.5 Rushing Yards (Make Picks at Onyx Odds)

As you can see, we’ve got two different approaches for you, covering both sides of the matchup and both a game market plus player prop markets. Firstly, we fully expect Seattle to get the job done, even on the other side of the country. For starters, more than just Seahawks vs. Commanders predictions have been cashing on the road under Mike Macdonald. 

Since his hiring prior to the 2024-25 season, Seattle is an incredible 16-2. It’s also a perfect combination with being favored, as they’ve been dominant in that regard during the Macdonald tenure. They are 24-2 when favored, and with no Jayden Daniels leading an already mediocre Washington squad, it’s difficult to see those Seahawks vs. Commanders picks being ruined.

That said, we do still think that Mariota is a more-than-capable backup. While he’s not Daniels-level athleticism, he can certainly use his legs. Given what we’ve seen, or rather, haven’t seen from Terry McLaurin, he may have to do so even more than he already would. Clearly, oddsmakers know that he isn’t a standard pocket passer given this line as well.

We saw Drake Maye rush for 47 yards in the season opener vs. Seattle, and Mariota can do the same to cash our Seahawks vs. Commanders predictions. He rushed for 40, 20, 34, and 28 yards in his first four games last year, and overall, he had 20+ rushing yards in eight of his 11 games last year.

That includes six of which over this line, so as a stronger backup in the league, he’s also part of our Seahawks vs. Commanders predictions that feature Marcus Mariota over 21.5 rushing yards & Seattle -6.5 (lock in picks at Onyx Odds).
