House money.
We can all agree this team is playing with house money right now. Going 0-4 against the NFC South(?!?), needing the Lions (The Lions?!?!?) to beat the 4 game winning streak Packers and Lord Rodgers in Lambeau in cold January?
Yet here we are. Blessed with a ticket to the dance thanks to the Lions. The line is currently -10. Ouch. The current prediction is the 49ers have a 77% chance of winning. I can go on and on. At the end of the day, we get it. The Seahawks are heavy underdogs in this matchup as they should be. The 49ers haven't lost since October. Even with a rookie backup QB they haven't missed a beat. The only really hope I have in this game is that you almost always have to throw out records when it's a division rival.
Both teams know each other like the back of their hands. Yes, the 49ers swept us this year convincingly. But all teams in the playoffs are 0-0 right now. If the Lions can beat the Packers in Lambeau, why can't the Seahawks beat the 49ers?
In truth, this is a tall order and I personally think it would be one for the record books if we can pull out the miracle this Saturday. I pray it happens, but I doubt it will. It's been a hell of a season Hawks, no matter what the outcome Saturday, the future looks fantastically bright.
