2020 NFL picks, score predictions for Week 15

Seattle Seahawks (9-4) at Washington Football Team (6-7)

Sunday, December 20, 1PM ET

There’s plenty of reason to believe the Washington Football Team could pull off the upset in Week 15. They’ve got one of the league’s best defenses, which tends to give their offense a boost. Unfortunately, I still don’t see them pulling out the win against the Seattle Seahawks.

Despite their ugly start to the season, the Seahawks defense has finally righted the ship. In recent weeks, they’ve shown resilience, an ability to get after the quarterback and stinginess in the scoring department. Against an offense that’ll likely feature Dwayne Haskins at quarterback, that doesn’t seem like a recipe for success for Washington.

So essentially this will come down to whether or not we see the MVP-caliber Russell Wilson or the turnover-prone Wilson that reared its ugly head a few weeks back. After demolishing the Jets in Week 14, though, Wilson should have his confidence back and be ready to make the most of whatever the D.C. defense gives him.

Washington may be in the lead in the NFC East, but that doesn’t mean they’re invulnerable to talented teams like the Seahawks. Wilson has an outstanding day, leading the Seahawks on a few clutch drives that help them stay on pace with the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC West.

Prediction: Seahawks win 30-20
