The Seattle Seahawks defense may not be what it once was, but they could feast when the Washington Redskins and their banged-up offensive line comes to Seattle.

With injuries to four out of five starting linemen, the Redskins could start their third different offensive line combination in as many weeks this Sunday. That won't provide any relief for Kirk Cousins, who has taken four sacks in each of his last two games. Constantly under pressure, Cousins has also thrown a pick in each of the past two games.

Since their Week 6 bye, the Seahawks' defense has finished as a top-10 option in each of their past two games against the New York Giants and Houston Texans. In those games, the Seahawks have forced four turnovers and recorded six sacks, including five on Deshaun Watson last week.

Seattle is a seven-point favorite in this game, which is the third-largest spread on the week. Slightly cheaper than the Jaguars and Eagles, the Seahawks carry as much upside as any defense on the slate.
