Five, I'm curious why you think that Tampa is going to win one more game than the Seahawks over the next four weeks.

Seattle has a better scoring differential, a better offense, and has beaten Tampa
Tampa has a better defense and faces slightly weaker competition (SF gives that to Tampa).

I actually see each of those winning 3 of those last four, and then Seattle is the Three Seed as they won the earlier match. That puts an outside shot at the Two Seed in reach, especially with Green Bay injured and facing only one easy opponent in the last month (Oakland). If either Tampa or Seattle tie Green Bay in wins they would be near certain to have the tie-breakers, as the first to apply would be Conference record, and if the Packers go in the dump this last month their conference record won't be so hot.

I needed a vaction, and then work changed substantially. I'm over 50 hour weeks, plus two hours a day of commuting time. A few weeks ago I launched my own blog about Seattle Sounders FC and Life in Puget Sound. I won't be by these parts often as my focus has changed. Sorry about the unannounced retirement.
