The gambling community is certainly favoring Seattle in this one, as the Seahawks are three-point road favorites, according to the oddsmakers at Fanatics Sportsbook. But they will face a desperate Commanders squad that is 2-5 and needs a win to remain in the thick of the NFC playoff picture.
If Smith-Njigba can rack up 81 more yards on Sunday Night Football against the Washington Commanders, he would join Isaac Bruce as the only players in NFL history under the age of 24 to surpass 900 yards receiving in a player's first eight games of the season.
After NFL Week 9, that title belongs to the NFC West, where just one game separates all four teams. The Arizona Cardinals are 5-4. The Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers are both 4-4. The Seattle Seahawks are 4-5.
