NEW YORK (AP) — The Seattle Seahawks finished the regular season where they started it: as the top team in the NFL.
Defending Super Bowl champion Seattle (12-4) received 11 of 12 first-place votes Tuesday in the AP Pro32 power rankings, which are decided by a media panel that regularly covers the league.
The Seahawks will open the playoffs at home on Jan. 10.
“Who’s scared of the big, bad Seahawks? Everybody.” Ira Kaufman of the Tampa Tribune said.
The Patriots (12-4) received the other first-place vote.
According to Glantz-Culver, the Seahawks (at 2-1) and Patriots (at 5-2) are the favorites to reach the Super Bowl.
