5. Bring on the Lions… or Packers…

The Seahawks won, but the Saints didn’t do their part. Seattle didn’t secure a 1st round bye, so they’ll host a playoff game next week. They’ll find out who they play at the end of Sunday Night Football.

The Seahawks will face the loser of the Packers-Lions game. The winner of that game will host the Giants next week. The loser travels to Seattle.

Obviously, the Seahawks would rather face the Lions. As we learned last month, the Seahawks don’t match up well against the Packers.

The good news is that the Seahawks came away from today’s game healthy.

They should be ready to go no mater who comes who town next week.
