The Seahawks DBs will probably be out for at least half of those remaining games and honestly, they aren't good enough to just chalk them a win versus the Bills and Cardinals. STL has the defense to beat them, they could easily end up even losing 4 of 5 since I think the Bears and 49ers are instant losses right now.
As for TB, they do have a good offense from what I've seen but the numbers show that they just can't get pressure on the QB and are awful defending through the air. I agree with the ATL win since ATL will have the number 1 seed locked up and probably rest their players. That being said, I think NO and STL could easily beat them since STL has the offense to beat them while their defense is good enough to slow them down.
Basically, if they lose against DEN, I think they ends up at 8-8 or 9-7 at best.
Which leaves us the Saints. If the Saints beat NYG, I honestly see the rest of their games a cakewalk.
