NFL Week 15, 2018: 5 Teams on upset alert
By Dan Parzych
4. Seattle Seahawks
Remember all of those years when the Seattle Seahawks were always one of those teams that heated up at the right moment in the second half of the regular season right before the playoffs, which always made them dangerous come January. This time around, it appears the Seahawks are back to their old ways when looking at how impressive they’ve looked in recent weeks, and are on the verge of clinching a Wild Card spot in the NFC.
Rightfully so, Seattle is feeling extra confident heading into their second meeting with the San Francisco 49ers when seeing how things turned out the first time around during the 43-16 win. However, the circumstances will be much different this time around since the 49ers will be playing in front of their own fans, and are coming off a big win of their own in Week 14 by defeating the Denver Broncos.
During that game, George Kittle was unbelievable for San Francisco on offense after finishing with 200+ receiving yards, and should be heavily targeted once again. Teams with nothing to lose that can still cause damage to opponents will always be viewed as extremely dangerous, meaning the Seahawks better be cautious in this one.
