Last week: 16 (+1)

Record: 3-2

I know the Seahawks lost to the Cardinals and have a worse record, but I’m putting the Seahawks one spot ahead of the Cardinals. That was a close game (and is the difference in these two teams’ records) and it would have had a different result in Seattle. These are similar constructed teams (great defense, one good offensive player), but I was impressed with the Seahawks going on the road to Carolina on the East Coast at 1PM ET and winning. As good as they are at home, road victories are going to be what decides this team’s playoff fate in a loaded NFC.
