The Seattle Seahawks and the New Orleans Saints will fight it out at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana on Sunday as the regular season reaches its midway point. The game has a scheduled start time of 1 p.m. ET and can be watched on TV on the Fox network or online through live stream via the link below.
The Seahawks will be favorites to win this one. They currently lie at the top of the NFC West, coming into Week 8 with a record of 4-1-1. They will be disappointed with how things turned out for their tied game recently, and they will be hoping to get things back on track here today.
Meanwhile, the Saints come into the game on 2-4 and are reaching a crossroads in their season where if they take much further punishment their season could be over prematurely.
New Orleans are third in the NFC South, and are behind the 3-3 Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the 4-3 Atlanta Falcons.
The Saints dare not fall back to 2-5 today as doing so will almost certainly rule them out of any relevance as teams start to push for the postseason spots in the coming 4-6 weeks.
If they can somehow find a way to get one over on the Seahawks and move to 3-4 they could stand a chance if they can build upon a result here today.
Earlier in Week 8, NFL Thursday Night Football saw the Jacksonville Jaguars go on the road to take on the Tennessee Titans.
The game looked like it could have been close on paper, but things were all but over by half time as the Titans stormed into a massive 27-0 lead.
Although the Jaguars fought back in the second half and made the scoreline less embarrassing, things still ended 36-22 in the Titan favor, and that result lifted them to 4-4.
That means the Titans remain very much relevant to how the season turns out, and if they can continue pushing things in the second half of the season they could end up as a surprise package in the postseason.
Meanwhile for the Jaguars, it looks like their season is all but over as they dropped to 2-5, and it is unlikely they can comeback from there to compete for the Playoff slots.
