Are the Seattle Seahawks destined for the NFC's top spot? It's the question on every 12th Man's mind, and we're diving deep into the pulse of the fanbase with SB Nation Reacts!

Our regular game week question focuses on predicting the score margin for the next Seahawks game. This week brings a massive clash against the 7-2 Los Angeles Rams. The Rams, also at 7-2, are slightly favored at home against their long-time rivals. The Seahawks haven't managed a win against LA with Matthew Stafford at quarterback, although the losses have mostly been close, except for a home blowout in 2023. This Seahawks team is arguably the best to face a Rams squad of the McVay era, presenting a golden opportunity to solidify Seattle's dominance in the NFC, and perhaps even the NFL.
But here's where it gets exciting: the main question revolves around securing the No. 1 seed. Currently, Seattle sits at No. 2, trailing the Philadelphia Eagles, who hold the tiebreaker advantage. The Eagles technically have the upper hand if they win out. Historically, the Seahawks have clinched the No. 1 seed three times: in 2005, 2013, and 2014. The common thread? Reaching the Super Bowl!
So, can the Seahawks grab that coveted top seed again this year? Vote on the simple "yes or no" question in the survey.
And this is the part most people miss... The impact of securing the No. 1 seed goes beyond home-field advantage. It provides a crucial bye week, allowing the team to rest and strategize before the playoffs.
Check back later in the week for the full results! What do you think, 12s? Do you believe the Seahawks will secure the No. 1 seed? Share your thoughts and predictions in the comments below! Is there a team that can beat the Seahawks? Let us know!
