Seattle Seahawks vs Washington Commanders Prediction, Odds and SNF Picks for Sunday, 11/02/25

NFL media is all over the Washington Commanders right now. Fresh off the heels of an embarrassing showing on Monday Night Football where they lost 7-28 at Kansas City, injuries and concerns about their postseason chances are flooding news outlets. Last season Jayden Daniels was the popular new kid at school. He was flashy, calm, and unflappable even as a rookie in the postseason. But injuries, including multiple to Daniels this season, have started to derail hope.

Last week it got worse. They only managed to gain 260 total yards and 14 first downs, routinely failing to get into scoring range (they were 1-2 in the red-zone) and putting their defense on the field far too often (KC led time of possession 34-26). Even more problematic is their new slew of injuries: kicker Matt Gay has back issues, All-Pro lineman Laremy Tunsil left Monday with a hamstring problem, Terry McClaurin returned on Monday but reportedly felt uncertain about his quad issues following the contest, and at this juncture we’re still not sure if Daniels will play in Week 9. According to Dan Quinn, their enigmatic starting QB is expected to practice on Wednesday.

In short, this feels like an “all-in” type of game for the Commanders, who could fall to 3-7 if they lose their next two battles (vs. SEA, vs. DET). They’ll be the underdogs in each matchup, and they know they need to win now.

In complete contrast to their foe, Seattle is coming off their bye-week with seemingly no issues. Pro Football Focus ranks the Seahawks as the second-best program in the NFL, #2 on offense and #7 on defense. They have no notable injuries, with perennially banged up Devon Witherspoon and Julian Love trending in the right direction. Perhaps most impressive is their passing prowess, a catalyst to a surprising top-5 offense that brings a #1 ranked 9.0 yards per pass into the nation’s capitol on Sunday night. 

This is the time of year where desperate teams play much better. Judging by Quinn’s comments, it looks like Jayden Daniels will be in line to play on Sunday night. Most of Washington’s injured players are questionable and trending in the right direction, and they’re back in DC until December 7th, over a full month of hometown comforts to get right. In the back of our minds we still know what Daniels and the Commanders are capable of, and now their backs are against the wall. This is simply a spot to take the underdog, regardless of what the analytics suggest.
