18. Seattle Seahawks (17)

For the first time during the Russell Wilson era, the Seattle Seahawks failed to earn a trip to the postseason last year after watching the Los Angeles Rams emerge as the top team in the NFC West. In previous seasons, the Seahawks would seem to be a likely team to bounce back after missing out on the playoffs, but seeing them lose every preseason game so far could be an early indication of what’s in store for 2018.

Whether they want to admit it or not, Seattle could end up experiencing a year of rebuilding after seeing all of the changes on both sides of the football, whether it involves Jimmy Graham leaving for the Green Bay Packers or Richard Sherman joining a rival in the 49ers following his release. Not to mention, the once dangerous defense of the Seahawks was already on the decline over the last few years, adding to the list of questions surrounding this team.

Finishing the preseason on a high note by earning at least one win would certainly help boost Seattle’s confidence heading into their first regular season game against the Denver Broncos, but even that may not be enough. At least with Wilson, the Seahawks quarterback will always do his best to give the team their best chance of being a serious contender.
