Arizona has a very hard remaining schedule with their last three of four games against 3 possible playoff teams. Finishing the season 1-3 is entirely possible and Seattle has a cupcake schedule the rest of the way with the exception of the season finale against the Cardinals.
I was just looking at that. I think Seattle should run the table into week 17. I have a hard time seeing us drop a game this Thursday. Statistically speaking, AZ has a 90-95% chance of winning Thursday. I also have a hard time seeing us loose to philly in week 15.
There may be nothing to play for come week 17. We should be 13-2/12-3 by then (which regardless of what Seattle does, we will have clinched), and their is a good chance Carolina will have locked up the 1 seed with a 15-0 record.
Speaking of statistics, I'd rather give Seattle week 17. I wouldn't want to face Seattle in the playoffs with a 2-0 record against them this season.
