Seattle Seahawks Betting

The Seattle Seahawks tried their damndest to get back into Sunday’s division round tilt against the Green Bay Packers by erupting in the second half to storm back from a 21-3 halftime deficit. Unfortunately, another disgusting in-game decision from Pete Carroll prevented the team from ultimately seeing the comeback all the way through. With just over two minutes remaining in the game and facing a fourth and long, the head coach decided to punt the ball away and hope he could get the ball back with a trio of timeouts in his back pocket. As it turned out, Aaron Rodgers didn’t allow him to get the ball back; as expected. The end result was a 28-23 defeat that had Seattle backers screaming about the end result into the wee hours of the night. Best Buy storefronts all across the city of Seattle owe him due big time to the copious amount of electronics that will no doubt need to be replaced because of it!

Season Recap

Though Seattle had won 10 games the previous season, linemakers at online sportsbooks expected some regression to take place in 2019-20. They entered the regular season with 8.5-game season win total odds, and boy did that number come in short when looking back! The Seahawks went on to win 11 games in the regular season to allow for over bettors to cash tickets with ease. A bulk of the triumphs occurred on the road where the Seahawks went on to win seven of eight games and cover the closing pointspread six times. Their “Road Warrior” mentality even held up in the postseason when they went into the City of Brotherly Love and handed the Philadelphia Eagles the exact same 17-9 defeat as they did when they ventured into the Linc back in Week 12.

Though the Seahawks ultimately saw their season get cut short in the division round, things still look to be headed in the right direction for the franchise moving forward. Hopefully Carroll doesn’t get in the way of it taking another step forward when it matters most down the road. You can add his decision to punt to Aaron Rodgers with the game hanging in the balance to not giving Marshawn Lynch the ball in the Super Bowl to the top-10 list of mistakes made by coaches with everything on the line.

Regardless, you can’t help but be excited about the prospect of Wilson throwing the pill to Tyler Lockett and D.K. Metcalf for the foreseeable future. The former went on to surpass the 1000-yard receiving yard plateau for the first time in his career and followed up last year’s 57 catches and 10 TD with another 82 receptions and 8 TD. The rookie finished right in back of him with 58 receptions that went for 900 yards and 7 TD. The duo figures to torment NFC West rivals for years to come! One area that does bring with it some concern however is the inability of both Chris Carson and Rashaad Penny to stay healthy. Their absences from the playoff roster likely cost Seattle a further dive into the postseason. If those two can figure out how to avoid the injury bug, Seattle’s offense could be lethal in 2020-21!

2020 Season Preview

Seattle has been a fixture atop the division standings for a number of years now. That said, it’s only managed one first place finish in the NFC West over the last five seasons and has a grand total of just two playoff wins to show for its work through four playoff appearances. The team must shore up a defense that was without a doubt the Achilles Heel of the team. Years removed from the “Legion of Boom” that dominated for a few seasons, GM John Schneider must make it a point to improve the team on that side of the ball in the upcoming NFL Draft as well as free agency. Specifically the pass defense which was just roasted by Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams to the tune of 160 yards and a pair of backbreaking scoring strikes, and couldn’t for the life of the unit prevent Green Bay from repeatedly moving the chains on just about every 3rd and long attempt.

The main goal of the team moving forward is to get healthy and shore up the talent on the defensive side of the ball. Even with the unit currently in place, they came a boneheaded decision away from possibly advancing to the NFC title game for what would have been a must-see clash with the San Francisco 49ers for the third time this season. "We made it exciting," Wilson said. "We just wish we would have left here with a win."
