  1. Tards - Away
  2. Packers- Home
  3. Viqueens-Home
  4. Bears- Away
  5. Lambs- Away

Tough stretch man! I say we take Tards, Bears and lambs and finish 10-7. If we only win 2 more and end up 9-8 is that a disappointment? would beating both our division rivals to get to 9-8 get us to the playoffs?
I had us initially at like 8-9 wins and I would be super happy with that result… but… maybe 3 to 4 more isnt out of the question… of course neither are 5 losses. However, I’m going 10-7 overall and be pumped we’re back in playoffs and go from there. Truly feel we’re on the up!

I’m ok with whatever they finish at. We at least have some improvement over last year in a key area that we can build upon for next year in the defense. I think we win 3 more to get to 10 but if we get even to 8 and the defense continues to look like it has then I will be pumped for next year

I like to think we can 3 more to get to 10-7. If those 3 wins include at least Arizona or LA that should mean the division. The thing I like is if the D continues to play like this and stays healthy we should be in every game

If you are a pessimist, our worst case scenario is none. Not because we are a bad team (we've clawed our way up to be one of the top 7 teams in the NFC right now in my book) but because we have a tough schedule and the teams we should be favorites over are all away games, teams we are underdogs will be at home.

If you think we've crossed the threshold into full-blown good team territory, though, then 4 games is actually a realistic assessment.

If you just want to go based on who we SHOULD be favored, than the number is 2.


The by far most important game on the schedule is this next one. If we win that one, we are probably favorites to make the playoffs, even if we only win 1 more game. If we lose, we probably need to win 3 out of 4... which means beating at least one of Packers or Vikings.

If the Cards weren't at home, we should be considered the favorite--but the home field advantage is enough to push it into 50/50 territory.

Big game.

The 2 remaining home games are tough, but for example the Vikings - Cards gave them all they could handle in Minnesota and the Hawks beat those Cards. I know that's not an exact science but we should be in the ball park against them

With this team? I have no clue. We could easily lose to the bears and beat the packers...who knows

I'd agree with you. Sounds right. 10-7 with a hope for 11-6.

Would be nice to at least split Green Bay and the Vikings. I WAS going to say at least both of those games are at home..... but I won't mention our current seemingly home field disadvantage.

I've had a spooky feeling about the rams game to close the season. I've been thinking the last couple weeks that it might call the division.
Our home field advantage (crowd noise) is directly related to how good our defense is. Good D getting pressure and stops, crowd stays loud. Leaky mid-season D, crowd eventually runs out of gas.

That's a long winded way of saying it might be back!

I'ma say zero, since the question includes "we" and I'm assuming it's referring to NFL games and that none of the people on this site are members of the Seattle Seahawks NFL team. But if we're predicting the number of additional regular-season games we think the NFL Seattle Seahawks team we fans root for will win, I'm going with three. According to my Magic 8 Ball, the Seattle Seahawks will finish the 2024-25 Season with a record of 10-7 and a division championship.

They are all winnable, but also all loseable.

I think we have momentum on our side however.

The Vikings are potential paper tigers with only victories against GB, Houston with winning records. Green Bay have also only beaten Houston win +ve w/l rtio.

That's not to say we're much better, as we have also only beaten Denver, but of 4 of our losses, 2 came against best two teams in football and 2 came against divisional rivals The 5th loss was a bit of a freak where we lined up for winning FG and it went the other way for a score. So I suspect we are closer to them than our records suggest.

Chicago is on a loss streak but played their last 3 very tight against their divisional rivals, and is a road game at primetime so subject to all sort of spooky ref calls.

Closing game at the Rams worries me most - but if we win our next 4 we would lock up the 3 seed with near certainty.

Ummmmmmmm Any game Macdonald isn’t there for to coach and to coach the defense we loose. Especially with his child due soon.

Happy for him but it does have me worry not to sound selfish, him coaching the defense gameday and making the calls I trust more than Leslie Frazier.

Next week in Arizona is absolutely huge. If they win that, they likely have a 2 game lead clear with the tie break over Cards. I have a bad feeling about the last game of the year vs Mcvay but hopefully the division is sewn up by then!

Arizona feels like a playoff game. Coach Mike is approaching all the games like that. I know I look at Sunday as a playoff game. Just because :)

I can't even predict this team. They could win all of them and they could lose all of them. The Bears is the only game I feel semi confident about and thats probably a mistake.

If they could muster any resemblance of an offense, heck they could run the table. This D is legit.

Overall defense​

• First eight games: 23.1 points per game, 356.5 total yards per game

• Past four games: 14 points per game, 299.8 total yards per game

Very cool to see the defense improving right about when we thought they would. Around the middle of the season, and they are getting better and better.
