The Seattle Seahawks are still considered to be the top choice in the conference to make a championship run and now the best team in the NFC will be looking to head into the bye week on a positive note and they will play Week 11 against the Minnesota Vikings at CenturyLink Field in a matchup starting at 4:25 pm and airing on FOX and live streaming online from the NFL league website.
The Seahawks are 9-1 on the season and have had two separate four game winning streaks this season and now they are trying to push their current one to six since losing to the Indianapolis Colts and that would send the team into the bye week with the best record in the conference and would give them some rest before the toughest stretch of their season. The Seahawks have not looked great since the loss to the Colts, but having a dominating win against the Atlanta Falcons last week on the road was impressive after the two played in the postseason last year and that came after a close overtime win over a winless Tampa Bay Buccaneers team. The Seahawks don't play as well on the road as they do at home at the Link, but this game and the next one against the New Orleans Saints will be at home and that gives the team a big advantage.

Russell Wilson is getting one of his top targets with Percy Harvin returning from an injury and he will match up against his former team in the Minnesota Vikings and this will be only the second time that a Pro Bowl player will face his old team for the first game with his new teams after being traded after it happened earlier this season with Darrelle Revis and the Jets. The Seahawks are thrilled to have him back and it couldn't come at a better time, as the team has lost Sidney Rice for the season and as they head to the back stretch, the most important thing will be getting him back into game shape and used to game speed. The team has been very solid since losing to the Colts and the first stretch of the season saw impressive wins over the San Francisco 49ers and Carolina Panthers and they will have another shot on the road against the 49ers heading into the back part of the year.
After playing the Vikings, the Seahawks will host Monday night football for an old playoff rematch with the New Orleans Saints and after that is two very tough road games with the San Francisco 49ers and New York Giants and that first game will be a big divisional matchup and the NFC West could be decided by the outcome of that game. The Seahawks have a nice schedule to finish the season with more divisional games against the Arizona Cardinals and St. Louis Rams and both come at home, giving the team a nice advantage to end the year. Marshawn Lynch is once again one of the league leaders in rushing yards per game and while the passing offense hasn't been that great, the defense has come through big time and the team is holding teams to the second best amount of passing yards per game in the league.
The Minnesota Vikings are coming into the game after their first win on US soil this season on Thursday night football last week against the Washington Redskins and now they will play the Seattle Seahawks before a big divisional game against the Packers. While the Vikings are out of things, the team still is prepared to play hard with Adrian Peterson and that is why the Seahawks will not look at them lightly. The Vikings had their only win in England against the Steelers and the team now plays three of four on the road with the seahawks and the Packers before coming home to play the Chicago Bears and then the team hits the road again to play the Ravens. The end of the season has the Philadelphia Eagles and Cincinnati Bengals and then the team finishes with a matchup against the Detroit Lions.
