Other than PEEJ declaring Seattle the lock of the century 2016 edition?

1 in 3 chance, imo.

I really want to say yes because it's the NFL and anything can happen, but man they didn't even look like they belonged on the same field with the Seahawks when they played a few weeks ago.

Seattle is a great team, but my Vikings are also playing much better football and are much healthier than when they destroyed us a few weeks ago

Joseph missed that game, and Barr and Smith both went out of the game within the first series

GB also destroyed us at home earlier this season and look what happened tonight. This year NO ONE has a clue who is going to win on any given week. The play-offs are wide open. I seriously think any of the 12 teams can win it all.

Marshawn Lynch missed that game as well. Seattle has been pretty beat up the past few weeks, but are expecting everyone to be back and healthy next week.

I think Seattle wins, but i would be beyond shocked if it is a repeat of their regular season game.

I think it will be a lot closer than last time, but Minnesota has to make some big changes to their offense if they want to score double digit points against Seattle. That was one of the most dominating performances I've seen. It was pretty far into the game where Seattle had more penalty yards than Minnesota had total yards. Minnesota had the special teams TD, but that was it.

I can tell you with absolute certainty that Houston, Kansas City, Minnesota, or Washington won't win it all.

This is the kind of game I could see Seattle losing. It's hard to make a 3-year run and stay focused. And this team has been all over the place.

That is what we thought in 2010

I agree with the other 3.... KC is on a 10 win streak. I don't think it's likely but I wouldn't say "absolute certainty"

Bridgewater played his best game of the week the following Thursday at Arizona. I do not think that the Seattle game was very reflective of the Vikings.

Missing Joseph, Barr, and Smith was huge, but Seattle still killed him. The Vikings offense was terrible, but the defense was not healthy.

Theyve been the best team in the NFL the last 7 weeks. It will be a closer game but I think Seattle wins comfortably.

I know Alex Smith has had a pretty good season, but I don't trust an offense so reliant on the running game (with a mediocre QB) to win three straight games against New England, Denver/Pitt, and Carolina/Seattle/Arizona.

Plus, their last 7 wins are against teams under .500.

No you don't. If I were you, I wouldn't bet the house on it, especially this year. Anything can happen. As soon as the talking heads start trumpeting a team as being awesome, they lose the next week.

Peyton Manning chokes in the postseason at about a 50/50 rate

The Patriots are in a funk and have no offensive weapons past Gronk.

The Texans have fewer weapons than the Patriots, and Hoyer/Weeden is their QB

The Bengals are a favorite, IF Dalton plays.

The Steelers can explode at any time. But their defense is inconsistent, and they lost to a bad Ravens team 2 weeks ago.

Kansas City ABSOLUTELY has a chance. If they beat Houston Cincinnati beats Pittsburgh and they draw Denver again, they should advance to the AFCCG at worst.
