Pete Carroll might want to send the NFL a thank-you note, because the Seattle Seahawks' 2017 schedule sets up nicely for the team to win the NFC West for the fourth time in five seasons.
The Seahawks don't have back-to-back road games for the first time in franchise history, and of their four prime-time games, three are at home. Seattle's only early kickoff is at Jacksonville in Week 14.
Week 1: Sunday, Sept. 10, at Green Bay Packers, 4:25 p.m. ET
It's surprising that this game is not in a prime-time slot.
