Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-inSeattle Seahawks fans and fans across the country.Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
It’s time for another edition of the Seahawks Reacts survey! As usual, there’s the confidence poll and the predictions poll, and I’m curious to see how confident Seahawks fans are that this team will make it five wins in a row and beat the Green Bay Packers.
This week’s main question is about the NFC West title. Right now it looks like it’ll come down to the Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams, although we won’t totally discount the San Francisco 49ers just yet. It’s looking too bleak to believe the Arizona Cardinals can win out and get help to win the division.
As written on Tuesday, there is a path for the Seahawks to win the NFC West before Christmas and avoid playing the Rams in Week 18 for the division title. There are also pathways for the Seahawks to collapse and for the Rams to win the division (or, at the very least, the Seahawks to be out of contention) before Week 18. The most likely path leads to Seahawks vs. Rams in Inglewood as the deciding game for the division.
It’d sort of be history repeating itself for Seattle. When Pete Carroll began his Seahawks coaching career, it came down to beating the Rams on the final day to get into the playoffs. We may see something similar happen in year one of the Mike Macdonald era.
As a reminder, here are the next three games for both teams before Week 18:
Seahawks: vs. Packers (9-4), vs. Vikings (11-2), at Bears (4-9)
Rams: at 49ers (6-7), at Jets (3-10), vs. Cardinals (6-7)
So... will the division be decided before Week 18 or not? Vote below!
Results will come in on Saturday. Check here for last week’s results.
