With all four teams remaining one game apart, the Seahawks have much work left to do to win the NFC West, but last weekend dramatically improved their odds.
over the Arizona Cardinals, the Seattle Seahawks have jumped back into first place in the NFC West with six games left to play, and they benefited from more than just winning their own game in Week 12.
Despite the stars aligning perfectly this past weekend, according to the New York Times' playoff projection model, Seattle still has only a 20 percent chance of winning the NFC West, while Arizona remains atop the projection at 51 percent. After losing on Sunday, Los Angeles' odds shrunk to 19 percent and San Francisco plummeted to 11 percent.
With those two critical wins, Seattle bolstered its once-dismal conference record to 3-4, tied with Arizona for the best mark against NFC foes. Those victories also moved them to 2-2 in the NFC West standings, only half a game behind Arizona and Los Angeles and a full game ahead of San Francisco, crawling out of a major hole in a crucial tiebreaking metric.
In comparison, after a difficult road game in Minnesota and hosting Seattle in Week 14, Arizona has remaining games against New England and Carolina, two last place teams in the AFC East and NFC South respectively, before facing Los Angeles and San Francisco in the last two weeks.
