The Seattle Seahawks are flying high after Week 13, where they shut out the Minnesota Vikings and moved to 9-3 on the year. Also going in the Seahawks' favor this weekend was the Los Angeles Rams losing to the Panthers, dropping them to 9-3 as well. The Rams hold the tiebreaker and therefore the lead in the NFC West, but with five games remaining, anything is possible.
It might be crazy to think back to a time when the Seahawks weren't taken seriously, but luckily, we're not living in that timeline anymore. People are not only taking this team seriously but think that they have a legitimate chance to win their first Lombardi Trophy in over a decade, as the Seahawks officially have the second-best odds to win Super Bowl 60 in February.
