Nate Silver was king of the world on Election Day, his stats predicting Barack Obama's re-hiring as president validated at the polls and correctly calling all 50 states.

Silver goes with their run of late-season blowouts as evidence that the Seahawks are super-ready, even over more popular picks like San Francisco or Atlanta.
