Seattle Seahawks, NFC 1st Seed

The NFC is a jumbled mess right now, but the Arizona Cardinals certainly aren’t the number one seed anymore as far as skill is concerned. Seattle has made a lot of headway since their early season struggles, but now is sitting at 10-4 and are very much alive in the race for the number one seed. They have games against the Cardinals and St. Louis Rams, and both of those games should be wins.

Assuming all of the NFC projections that we are about to make come true, the Seahawks would end up finishing the season with a 12-4 record and in first place. Seattle is the type of team that can fight against adversity, and this is a prime example of that comment.

Not many would have expected that they would have a legitimate chance at winning the first seed in the NFC. Despite the rough start, they have bonded together as a team and are a favorite to come all the way back to win the division. There is no denying that they are one of the best teams in the NFL, and they are beginning to get back to what made them last seasons champions.
