Seattle and Carolina have been the most over-rated teams the last 5 years.

Seattle is way overrated this year, and they won't do nearly as well. They lost Hutchinson and their schedule this year is MUCH more difficult than last years.

They are tied for the 29th toughest schedule and only 4 games against playoff teams. The Seahawks are making the playoffs.

The 4 games against playoff teams is a bet deceptive, they are playing the Chiefs (10-6) and Chargers (8-8 but played a ricockulous schedule last year) on top of those teams. The schedule will necessarily be weak because of their division, but unlike last year when they got to play the Texans, Titans, and the second-string Colts, they have to face Denver, K.C., and the Chargers. That will be a 3 game swing.

Well at least they got by one of the hardest teams on their schedule in a squeaker today... oh wait.

The Chiefs with Herm the Sperm as head coach will NOT, I repeat NOT be 10-6 this year. They will be lucky to finish at .500.

Especially now that Green is out. Any team that struggles to beat the Lions and fails to score a TD (what happened to Shaun Alexander? I thought losing Hutchinson was meaningless?) has some serious issues.
