Field Gulls
The Seattle Seahawks host the Indianapolis Colts in Week 15 and can continue to firm up their playoff position. They can’t clinch a playoff spot this week, but a win over the Colts would firm up their position heading into the final three weeks of the season.
The Seahawks thumped the Falcons last week to improve to 10-3. They have won three straight and seven of their past eight. They face a Colts squad that has lost three straight and four of five. More importantly, they lost starting quarterback Daniel Jones to an Achilles tendon last week and their season is spiraling.
Seattle is a 13.5-point home favorite in this game.
The Seahawks are tied with the Rams atop the NFC West, and both teams are a game up on the 49ers. LA holds the tiebreaker over Seattle because they won the Week 11 matchup between these two in Southern California. The teams will meet up again next week in Seattle. This week, the Rams are 5.5-point home favorites against the Lions. The 49ers are 12.5-point home favorites against the Titans. Seattle and San Francisco face off in Week 18.
The Seahawks sit in fifth place and would need to get past the Rams to move into the top four seeds. They are sitting a game up on the 49ers and Bears atop the wild card standings. The Bears host the Browns this week and are 7.5-point favorites.
