From the article

Washington will turn to backup QB Marcus Mariota who took over for Daniels vs the Cowboys, and multiple times during his injury-filled second season. Opening odds for the Commanders have them as 6.5-point home underdogs against the Seattle Seahawks. That makes Seattle huge road favorites, and shows oddsmakers don't have much faith in a Marcus Mariota-led team against one of the best defenses in the NFL.

Mariota starts vs. elite Seahawks defense as 6.5-point home underdog

Marcus Mariota takes over as the Commanders' starting QB in Week 3 against the Seahawks, who are 2-0 with one of the best defenses in the NFL. Oddsmakers show little faith in a Mariota-led team, installing the Commanders as 6.5-point home underdogs with an opening over/under of 41.5, suggesting a low-scoring game. Mariota has experience stepping in during his injury-filled second season with Washington.
