Both teams prefer to run and have strong run games. Both teams are good at stopping the run. Either one or both teams may be forced to throw more than they’d like, and the game may come down to which quarterback has the better day.
…and to make it more interesting…
Both quarterbacks are rookies, and each has had an efficient season to this point — they’re 3rd and 4th in Quarterback Rating, behind only Aaron Rodgers and Peyton Manning. Maybe they’re both capable of a big day. At the very least each will provide a direct-comparison yardstick to use in evaluating the other. To me that’s going to be the most interesting part of watching the game.
This is likely one of those games that the team giving up the fewest turnovers wins.
Which is why I don’t like to gamble on this kind of game. I visualize a lot of cringing happening on Sunday, no matter what outcome you’re rooting for.

For the purposes of silly predictions: I’ll take the Redskins and the 3 points and the Over.

Considering the Seahawks are not a particularly great team on the road and especially with dealing with mobile QBs, taking the Skins might not be a bad idea. I think it really will come down to which team can shut down the other’s running game in addition to the turnovers. If it comes down to a QB battle, I would put my money on RG3 in that one.
