Been waiting almost 40 years to see this

If we get HFA, we only need to win 2 games to get there. And it is pretty clear winning in Seattle ain't easy PLUS we just won at the site of the SB.

With all due respect, the team they'd face in that stadium is going to be a little bit better than the team we just played in that stadium.

It is pretty cool to see we're the favorites though.

Dude I know that. All I am saying is the favorites rarely win. Im not counting the hawks out. And I want us to win but how many SB favorites the past 10 years won according to LV..?

This question is completely irrelevant.

How it has something to do with SB favorites which the Hawks are this year.

It's a question that's attempting to deal with sample sizes too small to glean anything meaningful from. I realize that it was on-topic. It's just that the answer to the question has zero predictive value to the question of whether or not being the favorites means that we're more likely to win it this year.

 

[MidwestHawker]

I wonder how those odds will change once we lock up HFA ?

Won't change significantly IMO, since Football Outsiders already has us as a 98.2% favorite to lock up HFA. The vast, vast majority of the permutations they're calculating with already assume us to be playing from the 1 seed.

Are you trying to claim there is causation or correlation? Because correlation is to be expected, of course not every favored team is going to win... since there are so many other teams that could win it. It's pretty much irrelevant because of this.

Yeah but this team is more like and 86 giants team or 89 9ners team or 91 skins or 93 cowboys. Not 11 giants or 10 packers or 12 ravens...IMO

Short QBs can't be successful starters in this league either.

I don't know about the 89 Niners comparison. The others? Sure.. but that 89 Niners team was a work of art.

This is because MOST of those teams didn't stay on the throttle.
I'm not superstitious, so just because the Seahawks are favored, doesn't mean that they've been hexed.
I'm pretty sure that Pete will tell his players that it's only an opinion, and that they'll still have to play their guts out, and tend to their assignments.
