I think whoever wins the division could come down to the last game.
Cardinals host Vikings, at Eagles, host Packers, and then host us to end the regular season. I think it's possible they lose 3 of those 4 last games including the season finale.

At this point, why are we even surprised? It took the Seahawks until the penultimate day of November to finally climb over .500 this season, but Pete Carroll’s team has long known how to take care of business in the final month of the regular season. Sunday’s blowout road win in Minneapolis makes Seattle 13–2 in December since the start of the team’s Russell Wilson era in 2012 and 17–6 since Carroll took the job in 2010.
These guys really do know their way home from here. And it’s got to be a little disheartening to the rest of the conference, which earlier this season thought it saw the end of Seattle’s reign well within sight. As it turns out, reports of the Seahawks’ demise were both premature and greatly exaggerated.

Goldberg was interviewing some correspondent who started out with something like, "What is the 1 thing that we can sum up about this weekend of football? ...The Seahawks are back!" That freaking made my day. Anyone else hear it?

That was by far the most impressive performance we've had in a long time, and it came on the road against a division leader. You can almost hear a collective 'Oh, my God" from the rest of the league.
They're playing well- no smoke and mirrors this year- so I can *easily* see them beating MIN, PHI, and GB (assuming GB keeps looking like they have recently).
I think the realistic goal is 5-seed wildcard, and for that we want them to beat the Vikings, and I think we'd prefer they beat GB, too (GB isn't going to win 3/4 of remaining games, so that should put us ahead of them).
All this assumes we continue on our current trajectory, of course, which I'm gun-shy about taking for granted.

I agree Burrrton, I don't think the division is within reach. Another poster mentioned that the Cards win over the Rams this weekend pretty much seals up a tiebreaker with us should they falter and we end up tied at the end of the year. That would also mean the Cards drop 2 of their next 3 to even bring up that scenario.
I mentioned in another post that the #5 seed is the goal now so we can face the winner of the NFC East. So I agree we want the Cards to beat the Vikings and give us a better chance at the #5 seed.
I personally am partial to getting a wildcard spot this year, to prove we don't need HFA throughout to make it to a Super Bowl. At this point, it would be oh so sweet to go into either Carolina or Arizona and winning an NFC Championship game.
