The Seattle Seahawks delivered a dominant 2025-26 season that exceeded all expectations. Under head coach Mike Macdonald, the team stormed through the regular season with an explosive offense led by quarterback Sam Darnold and wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who earned Offensive Player of the Year honors. Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnet anchored a punishing run game, while the defense, revitalized by Macdonald’s scheme, consistently pressured opponents. Seattle finished with the NFC’s best record, securing the No.1 seed and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.
In the postseason, the Seahawks proved unstoppable. They knocked off the San Francisco 49ers in the Divisional round and the Rams in the NFC Championship, showcasing their elite defense and offense. In Super Bowl LX, they defeated the Patriots in a commanding performance, with Walker earning Super Bowl MVP honors. This championship victory marked a stunning one-year turnaround and cemented MacDonald’s reputation as an elite coach in the National Football League.
The Seahawks finished their season with a 14-3 record, finishing first in their division, the NFC West, arguably the toughest division in the league. They won 7 straight games after starting off 7-3 early on in the regular season, and practically looked unstoppable when the postseason finally arrived. However, going into the next season, there are some concerns for the team as the no longer have the services of Super Bowl LX MVP Kenneth Walker, who signed a three-year contract with the Kansas City Chiefs, which could hinder their chances looking at their divisional rivals; the Rams and the 49ers.
However, the Seahawks will still retain majority of the players they already have in their roster and will still have championship aspirations. While losing an RB like Walker is not easy, Zach Charbonnet is expected to fill that hole and put them right back to where they were last season. BetMGM lists the Seahawks’ win total at over 10.5 as the favored bet for the 2026-27 campaign.
Listed below is the table that shows the Over/Under for the Seahawks’ total wins in the upcoming regular season.

The Seattle Seahawks’ 2025-26 season was a historic masterpiece. After years of mediocrity, they finished 14-3, clinching the NFC’s top seed with dominant wins over the 49ers, Rams, and Eagles. Sam Darnold threw for 4,000+ yards and 25 touchdowns, leading the Seahawks to a championship. Smith-Njigba was equally impressive as he led the league in receiving yards with 1,992, while the defense, led by a ferocious front seven, held teams to only 17.2 points per game (best in the league). They were one of the most complete teams in the NFL and there was almost nobody that could have stopped them from winning the championship last season, expect possibly the Rams who came close.
Despite losing Kenneth Walker III to the Chiefs in free agency, fans should remain optimistic for a 2026-27 repeat. Darnold and Smith-Njigba return as the core of an elite offense, the defense remains more or less intact with some possibility of getting Maxx Crosby from the Raiders (initially traded to the Ravens but backed out due to Crosby’s failed physical). Their RB Zach Charbonnet had 12 TDs last season (7 more than Walker) before going down with an injury, is expected to be back by the middle of the season, and Mike Macdonald’s scheme is proven. With continuity and a still-formidable roster, the Seahawks are legitimate contenders to defend their crown.
Let us take a look at the Seahawks opponents for the 2026-27 season;
The Seattle Seahawks come into the 2026 season with a middle-of-the-pack strength of schedule ranked 14th at .514. Despite their schedule analysis, the Seahawks will take on 10 teams that were in the postseason last year. However, we still expect them to contend for the title next season.
Early Prediction: Seahawks finish the 2026-27 with a 12-5 record.

Injuries were not a significant problem for the Seahawks during their dominant 2025-26 championship season. According to RotoWire’s ranking of the most injured NFL teams in 2025, Seattle placed near the bottom (27th) with only 18 players affected and 134 man-games missed (7.44 per player), one of the league’s lowest totals. This relative health allowed key players like Sam Darnold and Jaxon Smith-Njigba to stay available consistently, contributing to their strong regular season and successful playoff run.
Heading into 2026-27, injuries remain a potential concern despite their talented roster. Losing Walker III to the Chiefs in free agency already creates a gap at running back, and the Seahawks’ history shows depth can be tested when injuries hit. While RB Zach Charbonnet is still with the Seahawks, his return is still up in the air with no clear date so far.
The Super Bowl champs face significant roster concerns, with top talent already or soon departing in free agency, including RB Kenneth Walker III, who’s already with the Chiefs. Since Zach Charbonnet suffered a torn ACL in the playoffs, his availability for 2026 remains unclear, which the Seahawks need to address.
Depth at safety is also needed as the team faces a shortage after losing key players like safety Coby Bryant to free agency. They need an Edge Rusher as replacing Boye Mafe (headed to Cincinnati) is a priority, with potential moves to target veterans or draft picks. Mostly, the Seahawks face huge concerns with their salary cap and extensions, as they may have to cut players like Uchenna Nwosu, and have to re-sign corner Devon Witherspoon with big-money extensions.
The Seattle Seahawks enter 2026-27 as defending Super Bowl champions with an over/under win total of 10.5 on most sportsbooks. Their four draft picks, No. 32 (Round 1), No. 64 (Round 2), No. 96 (Round 3), and No. 188 (Round 6 from Cleveland), offer valuable opportunities to maintain or elevate their roster depth.
Late first- and second-round selections can target high-upside players at premium positions to replace free-agent departures or bolster aging starters. Early mocks project them targeting cornerback depth (e.g., Colton Hood or Avieon Terrell) or running back replacements (Jadarian Price, Emmett Johnson) at No. 32 to offset Kenn Walker’s departure to the Chiefs. Late-round selections could also bolster defensive depth or add best-player-available talent.
These additions would help maintain defensive continuity and replace lost production on offense, supporting their 10.5 over/under win total for 2026-27. Smart picks could push them toward 11-12 wins and another deep playoffs run, especially if Sam Darnold and JSN remain elite.

mma I cover the National Football League and things cannot get better than that. I always dreamed to play football or basketball professionally since I’m built like a Running Back. But now that I can’t, since I’m technically in the “Unc” age, I thought why not pick a career in sports industry? So here I am, doing what I love, and hoping that the Commanders win the Super Bowl. I give love to players when it’s due, but can be critical about their performances at the same time. Enough about me, now let my articles do all the talking.
