Field Gulls
Normally in this spot we do five predictions for an upcoming Seattle Seahawks game. Today, as the Seahawks prepare for their Sunday night game against the Washington Commanders, we’re doing something different and looking bigger picture. Besides, my in-game predictions have been a disaster.
If you remember at the start of the season, the Field Gulls staff got together and made full season predictions for the 2025 Seahawks. We’re revisiting them in this article and adjusting our picks based on what we’ve seen over the first two months.
Mookie Alexander (original pick: 11-6, win NFC West, lose in Divisional Round): I’ll give them another win from my original pick. I had 5-2 at the bye but they’re playing well enough that I think they will fittingly get to 12 wins in their 50th season. This defense has been outstanding and while the offense may hit speed bumps due to injuries, I think they’ll cope well enough. They’re still I think a touch off of a team like the Detroit Lions and the Divisional Round will be as far as they go. I lean toward the three losses being at the Rams, home to the Colts, and at the Falcons.
Tyler Alsin (original pick: 12-5, Divisional Round): Similar to probably many of you, 5-2 is what I’d pegged for Seattle, though not like this. With the defense as good as it is devoid of Witherspoon and Love, and the passing game otherworldly, 12 wins is my new absolute floor. That gives them three pivotal games left, two at home, so I’m bumping my guess up to 13-4.
Ted Zahn (original pick: 11-6, NFC Championship game): It would be boring to stick with my original pick, but I’m not really going to stray too far. The Seahawks offense has been a pleasant surprise while the defense has (mostly) kept up their standard. However, the team still hasn’t really proven themselves with a statement win. The upcoming matchup with the Los Angeles Rams is their chance to put a stamp on this season. Seattle will still lose a few frustrating games to finish 12-5 and I’m keeping my NFC Championship game prediction.
Frank T. Raines (original pick: 12-13 wins, NFC Divisional Round): Seven games into the season, I haven’t seen anything that makes me think my original prediction was wrong. Seattle lost to the now-5-3 Niners by 4 in Week 1 and to the now-6-2 Bucs by 3 in Week 5, while their five wins have been by a combined 64 points. Seattle’s offense has flashed and the defense is borderline elite, which bodes well when 5 of the remaining 10 games are against teams who are currently below .500. The other five games are against the Lambs (Weeks 11 and 16), the league-leading Colts (Week 15), the currently 4-4 Panthers (Week 17), and our Santa Clara rivals (Week 18) . . . should be a fun stretch run 🙂 Go Hawks!
John Tapia (original pick: 11-6, NFC Divisional Round): It is...
