(4-8) ended their three-game losing streak last week by holding off the San Francisco 49ers (-2) at Lumen Field. While the playoffs are an extraordinary long shot, the team can increase their feint hopes of making the postseason with a win over the Houston Texans (+8.5) (2-10), a team so poor that they’re already mathematically out of the running in the AFC.
Seattle has yet to win consecutive games this season, but this is clearly their best chance to end that spell. Russell Wilson’s performance against the 49ers was his best since returning from injury, and the defense held San Francisco to 0 points in the 2nd half.
