We did it! We've secured the first seed and home field throughout! The road to the Superbowl comes through Seattle.
Who's most likely to challenge Seattle?
Divisional round:
Vs. 49ers 42%
Vs. Packers 32%
Vs. Rams 24%
Vs. Panthers 2%
Who would we prefer?
1. Panthers
Unlikely, but likely the most favorable matchup
2. Packers
QB play/matchup is tougher, but weak health-wise
3. 49ers
If we have to play them, expect healthier/dialed
4. Rams
Worst matchup/best QB of the group, unfinished biz
Conference championship:
1. Bears
Gunslinger QB play, avg D. Favorable matchup!
2. Eagles
Strong defense, defending SB team. Similar style.
3. 49ers
Fred Warner? Gritty divisional team. War impeding.
4. Rams
Playoff/championship experience. Bring it, if so!
It's been talked about all year how our division has the best teams in it and although they may have slipped a bit recently, I'd be shocked if we didn't run into the 49ers/Rams in the playoffs.
Would love to hear your thoughts on our playoff path.
