So it comes down to this. For the second year in a row, the Seattle Seahawks (-3)
stand on the precipice of a 9-8 season and a playoff berth. Similarly, their fates rest not only in their own hands, but in the hands of another NFC team; this time around, it is the Chicago Bears (+3), who need to beat the Green Bay Packers (-3) in order for the Seahawks to get in with a victory over the Arizona Cardinals (+3). But let’s not get ahead of ourselves, the Hawks still have to beat the Cards, and that isn’t a given.
