Preseason is almost here, which of course nobody cares about and only gets them to think about the upcoming NFL season instead. So let’s go through the Seahawks’ schedule and compare teams so we can speculate on what the Seahawks’ final record will be and if the Seahawks’ giant offseason moves really moved the needle.

Starting With Week 1 Against the 49ers!

The Seattle Seahawks open against their fiercest rival. The 49ers re-signed Brock Purdy. Expectations will be high for the San Francisco-based team, but looking closer at their offseason brings doubt. They lost important pieces like Deebo Samuel and Charvarius Ward and did not sign anyone to replace them. With the Seattle Seahawks signing Sam Darnold and Cooper Kupp to bolster the offense, if they split the series last year, then no doubt the Seattle Seahawks will prevail this time.

Next, Away At the Steelers

Aaron Rodgers or not, the Steelers struggle to hire great coordinators, and their passing game is getting worse year after year. Safe to say, the Seahawks are starting 2-0.

Now Week 3 Is the Saints Marching Into Seattle

The Saints are a rebuilding team at the moment, still struggling to find the right pieces. It should be a win for the Seattle Seahawks, 3-0.

Away Against Division Foes Arizona

With the Cards’ improvement in Head Coach Jonathan Gannon’s 2nd year, it makes this one of the harder games to call. It’s a make-or-break year for him and the Cardinals, though a ton of risky offseason moves make things harder to judge. I will predict another Hawks win because things don’t usually go the right way for the Cards, making them 4-0.

Now For Week 5 vs. the Tampa Bay Bucs

This is one of the more interesting matchups the Seattle Seahawks have this year. With the Bucs bringing back Chris Godwin and Sterling Shepard, they maintained the core of their No. 3 offense. They also relied on the draft to improve their struggling defense. This means the Seahawks will likely keep their defensive advantage over the Bucs, and with their offensive improvements plus having the 12th man to help out, I feel confident in saying they’ll start 5-0.

For Week 6, On the Road In Jacksonville

The Jaguars are always in a state of chaos and struggle. Nothing this season shows that’ll change soon. Unless something goes extremely wrong, the Seattle Seahawks should start 6-0, logically speaking.

Then the Seattle Seahawks Face Their Biggest Challenge So Far Against the Houston Texans

Going to Houston, facing top-rated QB CJ Stroud and a top 5 defense last year safe to say this is where the Seattle Seahawks will fall for the 1st time, 6-1.

I Predict the Same Result For Week 8 In the Nation’s Capital

Against rookie phenom Jayden Daniels and a better D, the Seattle Seahawks are going 6-2.

The Seattle Seahawks Are Getting Back On Track At Home Against the Cards

If they beat the Cards in Arizona, no surprise we complete the sweep at home, 7-2.

Back To Losing Ways Against the Rams

The Seattle Seahawks always struggle against the Rams and Sean McVay. LA also made countless moves in the offense to improve their defense. Mix that with playing at Sofi, and the Seattle Seahawks will be 7-3.

Back To Winning Ways vs. the Tennessee Titans In Week 12

Another rebuilding team in the south should be no problem for win-now for Seattle, 8-3.

Next, a Revenge Game For Sam Darnold Against the Vikings

Could be bold, but with them starting basically a rookie QB(J.J. McCarthy) and Darnold’s fiery feelings toward being traded, I say the Seahawks go 9-3.

Then Another Win Against the Falcons

With the Falcons struggling with most areas, including QB, it shouldn’t be a problem for the Seattle Seahawks, 10-3.

Same Thing For the Game Against the Colts

For the same reasons, the Seattle Seahawks will improve to 11-3.

At Home vs. the LA Rams Will Yield a Different Result

With the “12th man” behind the Seattle Seahawks and momentum back on their side, they will go 12-3.

Away Against the Panthers Is Next

While the Panthers will get better, they won’t be on the Seattle Seahawks’ level yet, 13-3 Seahawks.

Their Finale In San Fran Will End the Season On a Sour Note

With elite coaching, a well-built 49ers squad, and home-field advantage, they will lose the finale and go 13-4 for their final record.

Final Thoughts

The Seattle Seahawks should be favorites to win the division in a season that’ll feel amazing, but don’t be fooled by the record. The Seattle Seahawks are benefitting from an east schedule against both the NFC and AFC South. Both currently and historically the worst divisions in the NFL. They’ll likely be exposed in the divisional or conference round. Thanks a bunch for reading!
