I must be the most hopeless of homers. Looking around at various, presumably knowledgeable, sports prognosticators the Seahawks get no love, like ... none. I think the 'Hawks are better than the .500 team being predicted and may well take the division if the Niners stumble or run into key injuries. The gurus talk about SF like they are a perennial powerhouse like the Pat's or Packers but prior to last year they stunk for multiple years previous. People forget that Alex Smith has been a mediocre quarterback his entire career until last year when it all seemed to come together. Last year might have been an anomaly and he'll to straight back to sucking like every other year.
Further, the 'Hawks have a very good and (should be) improving defence and their O line is way better than last year. Finally, while Wilson and Flynn are not proven entities by any stretch both are an upgrade from Jackson. This should all add up to more wins. Well it better anyway. Go Hawks Go!
