It's not been a good start to the NFL season for Seattle Seahawks. They are 2-4 so far and host New Orleans Saints who are 3-2 and bidding to win two games in a row for the first time this season. The Seahawks are bottom of NFC West and began this weekend down in 14th place in their conference. They won the NFC West last season with a 12-4 record but are already four wins behind division leaders Arizona Cardinals who are more than likely to be 7-0 after beating Houston (1-5) on Sunday. Seattle got their season off to a winning start and then only lost to Tennessee by three points in a match that went to over time. They lost again next time out but then beat San Francisco to get back to 2-2. However, that win has been followed by losses against the LA Rams and another over time loss, this time to Pittsburgh. 

New Orleans are sixth overall in the NFC and that would take them into the play-offs. They are second in NFC South, trailing behind defending Super Bowl champions Tampa Bay Buccaneers and struggling to clinch a fifth straight divisional title. The Saints have had a similar season to their opponents, ending up 2-2 after their first four games. They showed just how good they can be, when winning their opening game against the Green Bay Packers 38-3 but then lost to the New York Giants at home. Away form has seen them win twice this season and a 33-22 win at Washington Nationals took them to 3-2 for the season. They will be fresh as this is their first game since that win at Washington on October 10. Seattle have lost both of their home games this season, another defeat looks likely here.
