Seattle Seahawks Odds to Win Super Bowl LIV

Playing in front of the 12th Man gives the Seattle Seahawks one of the best home field advantages in the league. Same goes for the Pittsburgh Steelers who routinely sell Heinz Field out whenever they take to the field and give every person that fills a seat a “Terrible Towel” to make it that much more intimidating. If the Seahawks think they can go into a venue like that and play like they did against the Cincinnati Bengals last week, it’s pretty safe to assume a one-sided beat down being in the cards for Pete Carroll’s troops.

Seattle Seahawks Week 2 Preview

Seattle’s rush defense is set to get a heavy dose of John Connor on Sunday, and it remains to be seen if it has it in them to withstand the barrage. Due to a negative game script last week at New England, the Steelers were forced to throw the pill way more than expected. It also didn’t help that Conner got a bit banged up and was forced to miss reps. With Antonio Brown no longer in the Steel City, JuJu Smith-Schuster had a tough time taking over the reins against one of the more underrated pass defenses in the league. Add to the mix Big Ben’s awful showing, and it can be confidently predicted that the trio will be a bear for Seattle to contend with. If you thought what John Ross did was impressive, just wait and see what JuJu has up his sleeve as he looks to get back in the good graces of his fantasy and prop supporters.

The betting markets weren’t impressed with Seattle’s one-point win over the Bengals as decided favorites. That’s highly evident by the fact that a Steelers team that barely showed up last Sunday night has seen the betting line jump up to -4 from the -3.5 opener even though 66 percent of the action booked to this point has come in on Seattle. It’s all public money! Sharps hit the Steelers hard at the open and are now sitting back and watching the line movement. There’s been some reverse line movement with the total as well that’s down to an even 46 even though a whopping 82 percent of the early action has come in on the over.

Though it was eons ago (2011 & 2007), the Steelers shut the Seahawks out each of the last two times they invaded Heinz Field. Seattle did however cover four of its last five road games last season with the over cashing in four times. If Seattle can’t establish the run in this one, it’ll be lights out baby!

Seattle Seahawks Week 1 Recap

The final on the scoreboard read 21-20 in favor of Seattle, but there was much to dislike about the Seahawks overall body of work in its Week 1 near escape from the Cincinnati Bengals. For starters, Andy Dalton put forth a career day after gouging the Seahawks secondary for 418 yards and 2 TD while completing 35 of 51 passes in Zac Taylor’s new offense. He was still able to pick Seattle apart even though the defensive front sacked him five times! While the Bengals ground attack was more or less silenced, much of that had to do with Joe Mixon leaving the game early in the third quarter with an ankle injury forcing Cincinnati to look to the air more times than not. Cincinnati only ended up rushing the pigskin 14 overall times, so it remains to be seen if the Seahawks middle of the road rush defense from a year ago is improved with Jadeveon Clowney now in the mix. We’ll know more this upcoming week with the Seahawks tasked with taking on John Conner and the Steelers excelled offensive line.

Russell Wilson didn’t have a banner showing for his fantasy and prop supporters at top rated sportsbooks. The veteran passed for less than 200 total yards but did connect on a pair of touchdown strikes with one of the 44-yard variety when he hooked up with his favorite target, Tyler Lockett, on the very first play of the fourth quarter. The pass and catch ultimately resulted in the game winning score. Seattle’s offensive line conceded a hefty 51 sacks a season ago, and improvement on that front doesn’t look to have been made with the unit allowing the Bengals to drop Wilson to the turf four times for a loss of 35 yards. It also didn’t do a very good job of opening holes for Chris Carson and company with the offense managing just 72 yards on 25 carries (2.9 YPC). That output needs to be improved dramatically if Seattle is to have any kind of success controlling the game clock in this week’s matchup in the Steel City.

Q. Were they doing anything to limit the running game? Numbers were down a little bit?

RUSSELL WILSON: They stopped our first down runs. We didn't get any good positive first down runs we felt like. So it was second and ten or second and 13. So that's something we've got to go back and study and figure out how we can get better. Because you don't want those first down runs, if you're going to run on first down you want to make sure you get something positive out of it and make sure we're not getting backed up.

Past Seattle Seahawks Seasons

The Seahawks have been a consistent force in the NFC since Pete Carroll became coach in 2010 and the team has enjoyed most of its success in the past two decades. Seattle was awarded an expansion franchise for the 1976 season and played its first season in the NFC West, winning two games. The team’s first victory came against fellow expansion team Tampa Bay, 13-10, on October 17, 1976. As part of the expansion plan, the Seahawks switched conferences with Tampa the next season, joining the AFC West, where they would remain until 2002 when the league realigned.

It took just three seasons for the Seahawks to post their first winning record going 9-7 in 1978 and again in 1979, but they didn’t reach the postseason for the first time until 1983. Under first-year coach Chuck Knox, the Seahawks advanced to the AFC Championship, only to lose to the Raiders. They would qualify for the playoffs four times in six years and win their first division title in 1988.

After 14 seasons of mediocrity and one playoff game, a few things went the Seahawks way. They hired Mike Holmgren in 1999 and moved back to the NFC West in 2002, making them the only team to switch conferences twice in the post-merger era. In 2004 they began a stretch of four straight division titles and won a team record 13 games the next year while advancing to their first Super Bowl.

Under Pete Carroll the Seahawks had one of the most dominant defenses in the NFL, leading them to back-to-back Super Bowls, with their only championship coming at the end of the 2013 season with a 43-8 win over Denver in Super Bowl XLVIII. Seattle allowed the fewest points in the NFL in four straight seasons from 2012 to 2015 led by the Legion of Boom. Attrition took care of the group, but Carroll remains and enters 2019 with the highest winning percentage of any coach in franchise history.
