The Seahawks have been a quietly solid team this season, as their latest 24-20 victory over the Cleveland Browns puts them at 5-2 on the year while in a strong position in the NFC standings. Some of that revolves around a favorable schedule, as Seattle racked up wins over struggling teams like the Arizona Cardinals, Carolina Panthers, and New York Giants. Still, the Seahawks were able to take care of business at the Detroit Lions on the road and at home against the Browns.
It appears that the Ravens are rounding into form. Baltimore demolished the Detroit Lions 38-6 in Week 7 before taking care of business at the Arizona Cardinals in Week 8. The defense has played very well as of late, and the offense is starting to find its groove. At this point, you could look toward Baltimore as a legitimate contender in the AFC.
The Ravens feel like a stronger overall team on both sides of the ball. You could argue that this will be one of Seattle’s biggest challenges up to this point in the season, traveling across the country to square off against a formidable AFC opponent.
