A magical season for the Seattle Seahawks was just as spectacular from a betting perspective.
Seattle was 60-1 to win the Super Bowl entering the season, the biggest preseason long shots to win the Super Bowl since the 2001 New England Patriots and tied for the second-longest odds in the last 50 seasons, according to SportsOddsHistory.com. The Seahawks' 15-5 ATS record including playoffs was the best since the 2016 Patriots (16-3 ATS).
Now faced with the pressure of sustaining expectations, some likely regression, a tougher schedule and a new offensive coordinator, it's up to the Seahawks to deliver again. They've only gone under their win total once in the last eight seasons, but they are now facing their highest win total in nearly a decade. -- Kevin Pulsifer

2026 outlook: Retooled Seahawks among favorites
The reigning Super Bowl champions enter 2026 with the fourth-longest odds (11-1) to win the big game on Valentine's Day.
Seattle will attempt to repeat without Klint Kubiak as offensive coordinator and without Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III on the roster. First-time playcaller Brian Fleury, who has familiarity with Sam Darnold from his time in San Francisco, will aim to maintain the continuity established by Kubiak, continuing to maximize pace and personnel.
To offset Walker's departure, the Seahawks drafted RB Jadarian Price in the first round to help anchor the backfield until Zach Charbonnet returns from injury. Under head coach Mike Macdonald, and with Aden Durde remaining as defensive coordinator, Seattle figures to showcase the squad's defensive identity while playing through a primetime-heavy schedule. -- Liz Loza
Best bet: Jadarian Price rushing yards OVER 749.5 (-110)
Charbonnet's recovery timeline from tearing his left ACL in the divisional round of the playoffs makes this a tricky proposition. Still, the Seahawks' "hammer" is expected to miss at least some time while eventually being eased back into action. A return to sport, after all, does not guarantee an immediate return to prior level of performance. In the interim, Seattle spent a first-round pick on Price, who posted 11 rushing scores and managed 6.0 yards per carry at Notre Dame in 2025. A decisive downhill runner in possession of impressive breakaway ability, Price is projected to average at least 12 carries per game. Assuming a healthy season and at least a YPC of 4.0, Price should clear 800 rushing yards in his rookie effort. -- Loza
