Seattle Seahawks Breakdown: Sizing up the tight NFC West race
Sparked by a midseason turnaround on defense, the Seattle Seahawks have rattled off a four-game win streak to surge into first place atop the razor-tight NFC West.
Unexpected Impact: 4 Seahawks key to surge back atop NFC West
With four weeks remaining in the regular season, Seattle holds the division lead at 8-5. The Los Angeles Rams are one game behind at 7-6, while the Arizona Cardinals and San Francisco 49ers are both two games back at 6-7.
The NFC West is the only division in the league where all four teams are still realistically alive for the division title. All four NFC West teams are within two games of each other, whereas each of the other seven divisions have at least a four-game gap between their first-place and last-place teams.
According to ESPN’s Football Power Index, the Seahawks have a 52% chance to win the NFC West and 55% chance to reach the playoffs. The Rams have a 32% chance of winning the division, followed by the 49ers at 9% and the Cardinals at 7%.
Here’s a closer breakdown of the NFC West race. All odds and strength of scheduling rankings are according to ESPN.
Seattle Seahawks
Record: 8-5
NFC West title odds: 52%
Division record: 3-2
Head-to-head: 2-0 vs. Cardinals, 1-1 vs. 49ers, 0-1 vs. Rams
Remaining schedule: vs. Packers (9-4), vs. Vikings (11-2), at Bears (4-9), at Rams (7-6)
Remaining strength of schedule: 8th-hardest
Breakdown: The Seahawks are in the driver’s seat of the NFC West race, but their next two games are against Green Bay and Minnesota – who own two of the four best records in the NFC. The good news is that both matchups are at home, but Seattle is currently the underdog in both games, according to ESPN’s FPI. The Seahawks’ regular-season finale against the Rams could very well end up being a de facto NFC West title game, especially since Los Angeles currently holds the head-to-head tiebreaker after beating Seattle on the road in Week 9.
Los Angeles Rams
Record: 7-6
NFC West title odds: 32%
Division record: 2-1
Head-to-head: 1-0 vs. Seahawks, 1-0 vs. 49ers, 0-1 vs. Cardinals
Remaining schedule: at 49ers (6-7), at Jets (3-10), vs. Cardinals (6-7), vs. Seahawks (8-5)
Remaining strength of schedule: 13th-hardest
Breakdown: At the moment, the Rams are the biggest threat to the Seahawks. Los Angeles is just one game behind Seattle and currently holds the head-to-head tiebreaker after beating the Seahawks in Week 9. The Rams travel to face the 49ers on Thursday night, which will have major implications on the NFC West race. If the Rams win, they would put themselves in position to move into first place with a Seahawks loss to the Packers on Sunday night. The Rams then have a favorable matchup the following week against the 3-10 Jets, while Seattle faces 11-2 Minnesota that same day.
Arizona Cardinals
Record: 6-7
NFC West title odds: 7%
Division record: 2-2
Head-to-head: 1-0 vs. Rams, 1-0 vs. 49ers, 0-2 vs. Seahawks
Remaining schedule: vs. Patriots (3-10), at Panthers (3-10), at Rams (7-6), vs. 49ers (6-7)
Remaining strength of schedule: 28th-hardest
Breakdown: The Seahawks beat Arizona twice in the past three weeks to sweep the season series and secure the head-to-head tiebreaker between the two teams. That means Seattle’s two-game lead over Arizona is essentially a three-game lead, which would be very difficult for the Cardinals to overcome – even with their favorable closing slate.
San Francisco 49ers
Record: 6-7
NFC West title odds: 9%
Division record: 1-3
Head-to-head: 1-1 vs. Seahawks, 0-1 vs. Rams, 0-1 vs. Cardinals
Remaining schedule: vs. Rams, at Dolphins, vs. Lions, at Cardinals
Remaining strength of schedule: 7th-hardest
Breakdown: The injury-plagued 49ers are currently in last place, but they could surge right back into the mix if they beat the Rams on Thursday night – especially with the Seahawks facing challenging opponents the next two weeks. Many wrote off the 49ers as the injuries continued to pile up during their recent three-game losing streak. But as they showed with their emphatic 38-13 rout of the Bears on Sunday, the defending NFC champions can’t be counted out just yet.

There’s been a question about the future of Seattle Seahawks edge rusher DeMarcus Lawrence this offseason.
It may have been answered Monday.
Two Takes: Should Seattle Seahawks extend Derick Hall?
Just weeks after the Seahawks won the Super Bowl in February, ESPN’s Brady Henderson said “one of the first questions” the Hawks had to answer this offseason is “whether or not DeMarcus Lawrence is coming back.”
Generally, the sentiment in the months since has been that the 34 year old is not retiring, but there has not been a concrete answer from the five-time Pro Bowler or the Seahawks on his status for 2026. The closest thing to it came from Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald in late March, when he said, “To my knowledge, he’s coming back” to reporters at the NFL’s annual league meeting in Phoenix.
In the Seahawks.com article Monday announcing Seattle’s signing of veteran edge rusher Dante Fowler Jr., there was a statement that seemed to indicate where Lawrence, who is a 12-year NFL veteran, stands on the retirement question.
Fowler said that before he ultimately decided to sign with the Seahawks, he talked for roughly a half-hour on FaceTime with Lawrence, who was his teammate with the Dallas Cowboys in 2022 and 2023.
Lawrence had a message that helped convince Fowler to join Seattle: “If you want to win a Super Bowl, you should come here.”
That sounds like a statement you’d hear from somebody who’s planning to play in 2026, doesn’t it?
Seattle Sports’ Brock Huard thinks so.
“(The Seahawks) have gotten no indication whatsoever that he is retiring. And on top of it, I kind of read this as I don’t think you go full-boat and sell the organization in that way unless you also want to be a part of it and … go get that ring again,” said Huard, a longtime FOX football analyst and former NFL quarterback, on Tuesday’s edition of Brock and Salk.
On top of it all, what Lawrence said to Fowler is a great sales pitch for the Seahawks.
“Dante Fowler made it really abundantly clear, the final push was DeMarcus Lawrence. And the final push was: you want to win a Super Bowl, then you’ve got to be a Seattle Seahawk. And I don’t think there is any stronger (sales pitch than) word of mouth,” Huard said. “… That’s what you want, right? In any business, in any kind of marketing, the best advertising and the best marketing and the best sales pitch is what? Word of mouth. And when it comes from within and somebody with the credibility that DeMarcus Lawrence has too and the relationship he has with Dante Fowler, that was the final selling point. Job well done.”
Brock Huard answers three football questions in the Blue 88 segment at 7:45 a.m. during each episode of Brock and Salk. Catch Brock and Salk weekdays from 6-10 a.m. on Seattle Sports.
