Seahawks can still get #1 seed

[Mizak]

Like how miraculously the Raiders are still in the playoff hunt, the Seahawks are still in play for #1 seed. But its gonna take the Lions to beat the Packers and the Panthers to beat the Saints. And the Hawks to beat the Niners.

Can we depend on the Lions and Panthers?

 

[AROS]

No. Not in the least. I can see the Seahawks beating the 49ers with so much at stake at home on Primetime, even with all the injuries (do not underestimate the psychological impact of Beast Mode for both the team and fans), bu the Lions beating the Packers? Doubtful. The Panthers beating the Saints? More doubtful.

It's not impossible, but drastically unlikely. I would be happy with winning the division, hosting a playoff game and going on the road in the divisional and beyond. This team is not afraid of the road.

The odds are below zero on the Lions and Panthers. They've freefalled since November to the point the Jets and Dolphins would probably beat them.

 

[SanDiego49er]

Those scenarios are very unlikely. Especially all 3 of them combined. I'd say it won't happen. Doesn't New Orleans have the tie breaker over you? Did you play them head to head?

 

[sutz]

IIRC 538 put the odds at 7% or so.

Not gonna happen but i could see a scenario of the Niners beating the Saints and us going to Green Bay and winnning so securing the 3 seed still might get us a home NFC Championship.

Yes but in a three way tie with NO and GB the Hawks get the 1 seed.
Won't happen tho

Either team could take their foot off the gas as they now have a guaranteed home game. Divison games are always tough.

 

[xray]

Can...yep...get...nope .

 

[Polaris]

My take: It can happen. You an win the lottery too.

I am strangely optimistic about our game with San Fran. Count it on our Seahawks to win games like this. As for the rest, I can see New Orleans laying an egg against Carolina. Green Bay not so much.

the Shorthand is that 49ers fans want a 49ers win and then they have HFA throughout the playoffs.

Seahawks fans most want the combo of a Seahawks win and a Packers loss (even with a Seahawks win the Packers have to lose for the Seahawks to get the bye).

That's pretty much the size of it.

I was thinking the same thing just a few minutes ago. That would be something! :irishdrinkers:

Miracles do happen. Happened for the Raiders.
This is a race I would pass making a play on while hoping for the big upset.

:shock:

If Bevell can somehow scheme the Lions to a win, I’ll never say a bad word about him ever again

 

[rcaido]

How awesome would it be if the Lions beat the Packers w/ Bevelle throwing it for TD at the goaline. Of course we have to beat the 49ers this Sunday!

 

[Lords of Scythia]

All it would take is for 3 home teams to win.

GO HAWKS!!!!!!!!!!!!
