11. Seattle Seahawks (9)

The Seattle Seahawks are going to be kicking themselves over the next week or so after being inches away from winning the NFC West title over the San Francisco 49ers, but at least there are reasons to feel confident over their Wild Card matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Not only did the Seahawks pull off the tough win on the road earlier in the year against the NFC East champions, but the Eagles have unfortunately been dropping like flies with all the injuries on both sides of the football, especially on offense.

Watching Carson Wentz continue to find ways to win over the last four weeks to help Philadelphia pull off the unthinkable by winning the division has been incredible to witness, but also Seattle will give them quite a challenge.

First off, no one needs to explain just how dangerous of a quarterback Russell Wilson can be this time of year, and his presence alone will always give the Seahawks a major advantage against any opponent.

Wilson realizes how close Seattle came to being in much better position for the playoff seeding, and if he plays with his usual toughness, Philadelphia will have their hands full on Sunday during the final game of the weekend.
