1. Seattle Seahawks (6-1) Last week: 1

Seattle was never challenged in their Thursday night visit to Arizona. They blasted the Cardinals 34-22 out in the desert. If you were counting on Russell Wilson to have a sophomore slump in his second season at the helm, then you were wildly wrong. Seattle boasts a very good and confident defense, the beast known as Marshawn Lynch, and crafty Wilson. With the return of superstar Percy Harvin set to happen in a few weeks, the Seahawks may look to take total control of the NFC starting with a likely demolishing of St. Louis this upcoming Monday Night.
