CBS Sports: 10.5-Win O/U shows NFL sleeping on Seahawks

Never predict a rivalry purely on paper.

CBS Sports' John Breech has highlighted that the Seattle Seahawks are being underestimated as much as any defending Super Bowl champs in recent history, given their 10.5-win over/under. While discussing each team's win projection, Breech felt compelled to stand up for the Seahawks, stating, "I think the Seahawks will go toe-to-toe with them for the NFC West title."

However, he is not overly enthusiastic about the team himself. The NFL world is captivated by the Rams, who made history by trading for Myles Garrett, who set the single-season sack record. Aaron Donald's retirement and return to play alongside Garrett are also generating buzz and could yield one of the greatest defensive lines ever.

Despite these intriguing factors, the article emphasizes the stark contrast between the Rams' pressure and the Seahawks' seemingly calm approach. The article contends that a rivalry cannot be predicated solely on paper, as the two teams portray completely different atmospheres. This perspective was originally published on Seahawks Wire.
