4. Seattle Seahawks (4-2-1)

The Seahawks sure don’t look or feel like they should be 4-2-1.  They lost in week eight to the Saints 25-20.  Not before a lot of complaining though.

They shouldn’t have too many complaints looking at the NFC West standings, that’s for sure.  They lead the Cardinals by a game and a half.  If they defeat the Bills on Monday Night Football this week, they will be up two games on the Cardinals.

The tie against the Cardinals a couple of weeks ago hurt the Cardinals more but it certainly could still come into play for the Seahawks later on.  After this week it’s back out on the road though.

They have a very tough one in week 10 at the New England Patriots.  Then the Seahawks come home to face the Eagles.  It is an important time in the schedule for the Seahawks if they want to re-gain their NFC West crown.
