The leaves are turning and starting to come down throughout much of the country, and that means football season is in full swing. For the Seattle Seahawks (+5)
and the NFC West, Week 5 could be an opportunity to move ahead in a tight division, though given how poorly most of the division has played so far this year, it could be looked at as an opportunity to avoid falling behind. Regardless of how one wishes to view the games in this first weekend of October, the reality is that there could be a lot riding on the outcomes of these early season games, though much of what is riding may have little to nothing to do with the NFC West teams playing in the games.
