Seattle Seahawks’ 2019 season
Seattle had a successful 2019, going 11-5 in the regular season, qualifying for the playoffs and making to the divisional round before losing to the Green Bay Packers. They were not as good on the betting side, going 8-9-1 ATS and 9-8-1 O/U.
Seattle Seahawks’ 2020 offseason changes
The Seahawks were not super active in free agency. They lost OL Germain Ifedi, OL George Fant, DL Quinton Jefferson and DL Al Woods. They added LB Bruce Irvin, RB Carlos Hyde, and they re-signed DL Jarran Reed. They also made a blockbuster trade for S Jamal Adams.
In the draft, they selected LB Jordyn Brooks (Texas Tech) and DE Darrell Taylor (Tennessee) with their first two picks.

Seattle Seahawks’ 2020 win total: Best bet
Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Odds last updated Thursday, Aug. 13 at 8:15 a.m. ET.
Projected wins: 9.5 / OVER: -105 / UNDER: -115
Seattle has won more than nine games every year Russell Wilson has been in the league except one, and that season they won nine games. However, they play in an increasingly competitive NFC West, so it will be close. They have a good group of running backs, a pair of talented receivers and two very good tight ends. However, there are questions about the pass rush, although the secondary looks much better on the back end with the addition of Adams. They likely will split their six divisional games this season. They have a couple of expected cupcakes lined up and no game they are certain to lose. Based on that and their consistency over the years, your best bet is to go with the OVER 9.5 WINS -105.
New to sports betting? A $10 wager on the Over will profit $9.52 if the Seahawks win at least 10 games.
Exact season wins: Bands
0-4 wins: +4000
5-8 wins: +160
9-12 wins: -189
13-16 wins: +1400
Considering the Seahawks have between 9-12 wins in seven of the last eight years, this is easy money. Take 9-12 WINS (-189).
Exact wins: Best bet
In a competitive division where every team will likely be between seven and 11 wins, 10 WINS (+290) is Seattle’s sweet spot.
