Key Points:
- The 2026 Seattle Seahawks, defending Super Bowl champions, are favored to win 14 of their games next season, ranking among the top teams expected to return to the Super Bowl despite being seen as somewhat of an underdog.
- Only the Los Angeles Rams (favored in 16 games) and Cincinnati Bengals (favored in 15) surpass the Seahawks in the number of games they are favored to win; the Seahawks share their 14-game favorite status with Buffalo, Detroit, and Baltimore.
- The Rams hold the best Super Bowl odds at 8-1, followed by the Seahawks, Bills, and Ravens at 10-1, with the Rams also favored to win the NFC West over the Seahawks.
- The Seahawks' odds have shifted due to offseason changes, including losing key players like Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III, while the Rams strengthened their secondary notably by acquiring cornerback Trent McDuffie.
- Early season point spreads show the Seahawks favored in most games, with notable exceptions such as a late-season matchup against the 49ers and a potential playoff game against the Rams, reflecting a competitive NFC West outlook.
