Seahawks Focus On Home Field
The Seattle Seahawks have are now focussing on home-field advantage for the duration of the playoffs. They are very likely to do that, since their remaining opponents are the San Francisco 49ers, who visit Qwest Field on Sunday. Then its Tennessee, Indianapolis - who will on paper present the toughest obstacle - and finally Green Bay. Beating San Francisco would give Seattle a 6-0 record in NFC West games and at least a one game cushion in the conference race.
The Seahawks are 16-point favorites, even though the 49ers came within two points of forcing overtime against Seattle earlier in the season. Seattle won 27-25 in a game that shouldn't have been that close.

"The game in San Francisco was as close a game as we have had all year and still managed to win it," Mike Holmgren said. "We have to stay after it. We accomplished our first goal of winning the division. Now, there are other things ahead for us."
The 49ers are bringing in first-round pick Alex Smith to take over for Ken Dorsey, who was unable to maintain the level of play he showed in the second half against Seattle last time. Smith has talent but very little experience.
