I hate to drone on about how bad the fact that Seahawks made the playoffs is for the NFL, but I never thought that it could actually be bad for Seattle.
Â
Thanks to their win on Sunday night, the Seahawks climbed from having the seventh overall pick in this spring’s NFL draft to likely picking 21st.
Â
That is one heck of a drop and when you consider the odds against them winning even one game. In fact, Las Vegas has the Seahawks as 10-point underdogs at home to the Saints. When was the last time you saw a home dog getting that many points in the playoffs? I can’t remember even a home favourite giving more than a touchdown in the post-season.

The Rams – the Sunday night losers – can send their thanks to Seattle though; St. Louis will be picking 14th instead 21st and hopefully grabbing a wide receiver. Their hands team was straight up terrible against the Seahawks and had some atrocious drops.
