Seattle Seahawks NFL Betting
The Russell Wilson era has ended for the Seattle Seahawks. And it was the most successful era in Seahawks history. Seattle went to the NFL Playoffs in eight of the ten seasons that Wilson was the quarterback. Wilson led Seattle to the 2013 world championship. And the Seahawks should have been a repeat champion if not for ruining a goal-line offense against the New England Patriots in a stunning and needless Super Bowl loss.
Since that Super Bowl disaster, the Seahawks were never the same. Seattle became too reliant and then dependent upon Wilson. And as Wilson got older, the string of trying to carry the Seahawks proved too much to bear.
In addition to allowing Seattle to become a one-man team, head coach Pete Carroll failed to refortify his defense. Seattle has had among the worst defensive units in the NFL for the past several seasons.
Last year this all came to a head when Seattle finished 7-10, out of the playoffs, and with the first losing season since 2011.
Most Seattle fans preferred that Carroll be the man that left town instead of Wilson. Although Carroll is the most successful coach in Seahawks history, he has let the team slip into mediocrity. The Seahawks have not been a serious Super Bowl contender since that giveaway loss to the Patriots.
Seattle is looking at a debacle of a 2022 campaign right in the face. Geno Smith is the projected starting quarterback, with Drew Lock as the backup. Smith and Lock are both failed NFL quarterbacks. Both were previously starters with other teams but were not effective enough to keep the #1 jobs.
Pete Carroll faces the potential end of his career at age 70. How Seattle survives this inept quarterback depth chart is a nightmare to consider for most fans. Carroll will need a vastly improved defense for Seattle to survive.

Seattle Seahawks Schedule & Results
Once upon a time, the Seattle Seahawks were a hot property for prime time television. But their opening game of the 2022 season is among the most attractive of the entire season.
In week one, the Seahawks will host Russell Wilson and the Denver Broncos on ESPN Monday Night Football. Wilson will play his first game for Denver at the stadium where he became an NFL superstar. The fan reaction will be fascinating. At the same time, the TV ratings and betting activity will set new records.
The Seahawks will play on a week 15 Thursday night Prime Video game against the San Francisco 49ers. They also have a week ten game in Europe against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The Seahawks were founded as an entertaining expansion team in 1976 that quickly became competitive. From 1999 through 2008, Mike Holmgren made the Seahawks a serious contender and NFC champion in 2005. In the 2013 season, Pete Carroll led Seattle to the only Super Bowl championship in franchise history. Since 2003, Seattle has missed the playoffs only four times.
