Just when I was warming up to 13-2 or 12-4, Fant and Ifedi pulled me back to 10-6 or 9-5, sigh.

Seattle Seahawks
Our SportsLine projection: 10.1
Vegas line: 10.5
Outlook: Again, double-digit wins is just tough. The Seahawks are expected to be a good football team and should once again have a good defense, especially if Richard Sherman moves past the offseason drama and Earl Thomas is healthy again. The running game could surprise with Eddie Lacy and Thomas Rawls and Russell Wilson's diet has made him even more mobile. Seattle projects as a top-tier NFC team, but 10.5 is a lot of wins.

Looks like 10.5

This . It became evident to me after last season ended. That this team is only making another superbowl if they have a bye week and home feild. Thats what it takes. The home feild in the playoffs is a huge advantage and ESPECIALLY the bye week.Hasselbeck":17bu0e6j said:ivotuk":17bu0e6j said:The nice thing about this team, unlike other teams that win a lot of games due to an easy schedule, this team won't be overwhelmed by the playoffs.
Being battle tested only gets you so far though. This team has the best home field advantage in the league. They have to stop punting these winnable road games if they want to make it back to the Super Bowl.
All 3 times they secured the 1 seed, they made it to the Super Bowl. This team has never won a divisional road playoff game since moving to the NFC.
The "overwhelmed by the playoffs" angle is overblown IMO.

BYE WEEK IS A MUST
Seymour":uxw115u6 said:HFA. a bye, and team health become secondary issues when you have the league's worst oline. That was the real reason we did not have a chance at trophy last year. The other issues just made matters worse, but even if they don't happen, you are not going to win it all with the worst oline in the NFL....EVER.

We have beat the Oline story line into the ground and believe me as a founding member of the fire Cable fan club I belive this team is still loaded with talent. Even with the Oline last season this team is one missed FG away from going 11-5 and being the two seed in the NFC Playoffs, hosting the Packers in the NFC title game.

Were that true, Belichick's Patriots were failures from 2004-2013, and nobody really thinks that. Everyone knew they were a force to be respected every year.
