The Seahawks play five of their first eight on the road, so if they're 5-3 or 6-2 at the halfway point they'll be in very good shape for the second half. The rest of the road games don't look like gimmes, except potentially for the Giants, assuming that they don't have their O line patched up by then.
On the road? Pretty much the opposite is true.
10-6 would almost be disappointing, 11-5 looks the most likely barring any upsets, and 12-4 or better would make me very happy. Especially if it means home field throughout the playoffs (gonna have to beat NO at home to have any shot at that, I think).
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
