Seattle Seahawks NFL Betting
Since taking over as head coach of the Seattle Seahawks in 2010, Pete Carroll has produced the most successful era in franchise history. But since blowing what should have been a second consecutive Super Bowl championship in February of 2015 against the Patriots, the Seahawks have been a team that consistently lets down fans and gamblers. Franchise quarterback Russell Wilson continues to man the Seattle marquee. It's hard to believe Wilson was a third round pick in the 2012 NFL Draft. But at age 32, Wilson is said to be restless and wanting out. The eight-time pro bowler is arguably the greatest dual-threat quarterback in NFL history. Problematic is that he is far too often a one man team for the Seahawks. Gamblers believe Seattle will continue its winning habit. Seattle opened with an opening win total of ten.

Seattle's defense has been a serious problem for the past couple of seasons and made modest improvement last year with rankings of 22nd overall and 15th for points allowed. However, it was rendered helpless in a 30-20 home loss to the Rams in the playoffs. Pete Carroll has a defensive background, and the unit's decline is a source of frustration for all. Seattle went 12-4 straight up but 8-8 against the spread because the defense left the back door open far too often.
Russell Wilson returns after denying that he demanded a trade. He does not deny wanting to win another Super Bowl. But his bank-busting contract extension signed a couple of years ago makes the salary cap a challenge.
DK Metcalf is a favorite target of Wilson. Last year Metcalf caught 83 passes for 1303 yards and ten touchdowns. And Tyler Lockett added 100 catches, good for 1054 yards and ten touchdowns. Lockett has gone over the 1000-yard threshold the past two seasons.
The 2021 NFL Draft was a flop for Seattle. With only three picks, they failed to trade down or get quality offensive line help for Wilson.

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.
