Seattle Seahawks

I think it has to do with the fact that their two star players are now back from injury. They didn't look good last night but Hasselbeck is expected to be a little rusty. Alexander did rush for 200 yards and the weather conditions had a lot to do with sloppy play. They are also the defending NFC champs and its an old cliche but they're still the champs until someone knocks them off.

May have something to with them being the defending NFC champs, and the fact that they went 2-3, and not 1-4 or 0-5 like some "experts predicted they would when Seneca was subbing for Matt while he and Alexander were out of the line up.

Also factor in that they're 7-4 with their two key starters back, and there being no clear cut dominant team in the NFC... Somewhere therein lies your answer.

Plus, the media is also just looking for another angle to try and make the NFC race more interesting to attract more viewers - In this case, Seattle fans.
