10. Seattle Seahawks (5-2)

Recap: The Seattle Seahawks had a chance to keep pace in the win column with the San Francisco 49ers, a team that earned its sixth win of the season in Week 7. However, the Seahawks couldn’t get out of their own way at home against the Baltimore Ravens, en route to a loss. Seattle and Baltimore took a 13-13 tie going into the second half, but the Seahawks offense failed to show up in the final two quarters and succumbed to the Ravens’ defense in a losing effort.

Outlook: With the Seahawks suffering the loss at home, they now have a little less space between themselves and the Los Angeles Rams, who sit in third place. I’m not sure there were a lot of people who saw the 49ers ruling the roost atop the NFC West at this point in the season, but here we are. The Seahawks should benefit from a Week 8 matchup with a listless Atlanta Falcons team that has lost four in the row and will present no resistance for Seattle’s offense.
