Here the odds of the Seahawks making the playoffs are at 17%

I just saw one for 24%. 10% if we lose and 35% if we win.

If we beat the Cards twice and get to 10 wins we win the division:

That tool is fun to play with. I ran several scenarios and as long as we get to 10 wins we win the division....

I ran one wear they split with the Cards but then the Cards have to lose to both the Rams and 49ers.

Kinda interesting what Sean Payton is doing in Denver. I've been impressed with the Commanders, but even though I don't particularly like the guy it might be getting time to give Payton some props

Payton has taken the Denver Broncos, a team many picked to be one of the worst in the league, a team starting a rookie quarterback most thought was a reach in the first round, to being the No. 7 seed in the AFC if the playoffs started today. The Broncos are 7-5 after beating the Las Vegas Raiders, 29-19, on Sunday on the road, the first time they beat the Raiders on the road since 2015.

The Broncos have been riding a top-level defense all season, but it's the play of rookie quarterback Bo Nix that has elevated this team the past three games. In those games, Nix has eight touchdown passes and no interceptions. Payton, who had Nix as his hand-picked quarterback -- even though most said he reached to take him with the 12th overall pick -- does a great job of calling plays for Nix to make for easy throws and decisions.

But the thing that stands out from the past three weeks is Nix taking and hitting shots into the middle of the field with accuracy. He is certainly playing with more confidence, and the league has taken notice. He's completely closed the gap in terms of betting odds for NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year over at FanDuel, as it'll likely be neck-and-neck between he and the Commanders' Jayden Daniels down the stretch.

As for the defense, it's special. It is third in points given up at 16.5 points per game, with only the Los Angeles Chargers and Detroit Lions better. It is third in total defense, sixth in rush defense and ninth against the pass. It gives up a paltry 3.8 yards per rush, and it's been 3.1 yards per rush over the past three

Before the season I said Caleb Williams might be the next Bryce Young. This stat has him almost as good. Anthony Richardson. Yikes.

Richardson was painfully inaccurate in college. Believing that simply putting an NFL jersey on a guy that was an inaccurate passer in about ten college games and he would be someone else is absurd. He was a project, everyone knew that. The Colts drafted him, started him, and then benched the project because he was a project. Again, absurd.
