I was stunned to see the Seahawks shut down New Orleans the way they did, especially when they were missing their second and third CB. When you can hold Drew Brees to 147 passing yards with your third and fourth CBs in the game, you've got a ridiculous amount of depth in the secondary. They have two road games coming up (SF and NYG) and two road games to close out the season (ARZ and STL). They need to go at least 2-2 to lock up home field the rest of the way (they own tiebreakers over the two other teams that can finish with 13 wins). I am hopeful that they can finish 3-1, with the likeliest loss coming in SF and the second-likeliest in NY.
I would be surprised if NO doesn't bounce back from this and win the division. They have two games against Carolina and I think they'll win them both. I think they're good enough to do that. I'll need to take a closer look at the other team schedules to get a better idea of how the rest of the slots shape up.
The road to the AFC championship goes through Denver, and if they wind up facing New England, ooooooh... I'll have to wait until then to make a prediction.

"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."
