Hunt's dedication to analysis of all levels of college and professional football helped go 88-67-2 (+1474) on all NFL picks over the past two years. He is also 25-14 (+957) on his last 39 against-the-spread picks in Seattle Seahawks games. Anyone who has followed him could be way up.

Seattle's run game has left plenty to be desired in the first half of the season. Here's how the Seahawks can improve.

Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels suffered a significant injury to his non-throwing arm as Washington was blown out at home 38-14 by the Seattle Seahawks on “Sunday Night Football.” Daniels' left arm was put in an air cast after it was bent in an awkward fashion while he was being tackled on a play during the fourth quarter.

Through seven games, Smith-Njigba leads the NFL in yards (819), 20-plus-yard receptions (14) and first downs (36) while also posting top-10 numbers in receptions (50), targets (70) and yards per catch (16.4). In each of Seattle’s past three contests, Smith-Njigba has notched eight catches and a touchdown for 132, 162 and 123 yards, respectively.

The Seahawks beat the Washington commanders 38-14 after racing to a 28-0 lead in the first half, pulling away behind a dominant performance by quarterback Sam Darnold, another standout showing by the defense and a big takeaway on special teams.

Another night, another absurdly dominant performance from the Seattle Seahawks under the lights of prime time. Seattle handled the Houston Texans with relative ease last week on Monday Night Football, and they kept it rolling after the bye with an absolute pasting of the Washington Commanders in their own building on Sunday Night Football.

Cooper Kupp got a final status update that determined his availability for the Seahawks' Week 9 matchup against the Commanders.

As the leader in the NFC West, the Seahawks are placed into the three-way tie with the Eagles and Buccaneers. Philadelphia has the best conference winning percentage, so they are first. Then the Buccaneers’ win over the Seahawks is the next tiebreaker to place Seattle third.
