Chiefs have the edge certainly. But the Seahawks run the ball well, which is KC's weakness, well one of them. I don't think KC will have much of an answer defensively, so it's probably going to look a lot like the Seahawks/Rams matchups of this season, where Seattle makes it an ugly game and have a chance to win it at least.
IMO the Seahawks' defensive style is a nice fit for where this league is trending, with a cover 3 approach and rangy DBs mugging receivers underneath. Defenses like theirs, as well as the cover 2 type defenses, are well suited to slowing the heavy passing game opponents who are leading the playoff field.
Seahawks are a team to take seriously I think.
That, and I seriously doubt that Cam Newton can play four straight games of clean, error free football. He's going to dispense one of his stinkers at some point.
You can count on it.
