NFL Insider Is With ‘No Confidence’ Seahawks Will Get Through Playoffs
|In Week 13, the Seattle Seahawks and Dallas Cowboys square off on Thursday Night Football.
The Seahawks’ next four games will be difficult and will probably decide whether or not they qualify for the NFC playoffs. Game two of that run is here. With the schedule getting tougher, at least one NFL expert, Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, believes Seattle has little chance of making the playoffs at 6-5.
Mike Florio gives Seahawks little chance to make the playoffs
The hosts of Pro Football Talk Live, Mike Florio and Chareen Williams, played a game called “confidence meter” on Tuesday, Nov. 28. They gave each playoff contender a number indicating their level of confidence in them making it to the postseason.
When it came to the Seahawks, Florio set the stage, pointing out that although the team is currently ranked sixth in the NFC playoff picture, the next three games will be extremely difficult for Pete Carroll’s team following back-to-back losses to the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers, as well as the Cowboys, 49ers, and Philadelphia Eagles.
Although Williams believes the Rams have a greater chance than the Seahawks to get to the postseason, she nevertheless rates Seattle’s odds of winning the six and seven seeds as decent at a four out of ten.
Florio, though, is far less optimistic about the Seahawks’ prospects.
