With all four teams remaining one game apart, the Seahawks have much work left to do to win the NFC West, but last weekend dramatically improved their odds.

The Seahawks look like a team that can not only win the NFC West but do so convincingly. There's one major reason why they've turned things around and can contend.

The Seattle Seahawks moved into a tie for the NFC West lead with Sunday's 16-6 win over Arizona, but they got more good news after the game.

The victory over San Francisco boosted Seattle’s postseason odds to 11%, according to The Athletic’s playoff model. Their odds of winning the NFC West currently stands at 8%. The remaining difference includes the opportunity to make the playoffs via the wild card.

A week after putting together a season-saving comeback, the Seahawks host the Cardinals in a game that could move Seattle into first place in the NFC West.

The Seahawks were fortunate that the rest of the NFC West didn't separate as they worked through some issues with first-year head coach Mike Macdonald. The other three teams might regret not putting more distance between themselves and Seattle, which seems to be getting better as the season goes on.

The playoff standings are getting as crazy as a wild turkey prior to Thanksgiving, which is fitting since the league is hitting that point in the calendar. The NFC West is as unpredictable as ever, with the Seattle Seahawks taking over the division lead thanks to their win over the Arizona Cardinals.
