Will the Seattle Seahawks make the 2020 NFL playoffs?

Yes: -139 | No: +115

Since the Seahawks drafted Russell Wilson in the 2012 NFL Draft, the team has failed to miss the playoffs just once (2017). Coach Pete Carroll knows how to get his team to play to the fullest of its potential and it is always a contender in the NFC.

The 2020 season should be no different as the Seahawks look poised to make another Super Bowl run. Led by Wilson, Seattle is evolving into a more pass-happy team with WRs Tyler Lockett, D.K. Metcalf and Phillip Dorsett, acquired this offseason through free agency.

The Seahawks will certainly run the ball a ton, as well as they are hoping a few new additions to their offensive line will improve that phase of the game.

The defense has dropped off some over the last few years, but it’s tough to bet against the Seahawks making the playoffs. The combination of the head coach, quarterback and organization make YES (-139) to make the playoffs a fairly safe bet. Expect Seattle to challenge the 49ers for the NFC West crown and to possibly earn the No. 1 seed in the conference.

How many games will the Seattle Seahawks win in 2020? Bands

BAND ODDS
0-4 Wins +6500
5-8 Wins +160
9-12 Wins -189
13-16 Wins +1400

As previously mentioned, the Seahawks have missed the playoffs just once since drafting Wilson. What is even more impressive is that Seattle hasn’t had a losing season since picking its franchise quarterback. It has won double-digit games in seven of the last eight seasons with the most wins coming in 2013 with 13.

Betting on the Seahawks to win between 9-12 GAMES is a safe bet and even a smart one at -189. While the odds aren’t fantastic, it’s still a worthwhile bet considering how safe it is.

How many games will the Seattle Seahawks win in 2020? Exact number

At BetMGM, you can bet on the exact number of wins the Seahawks will have in 2020. If you are searching for the best value, 11 WINS (+425) appears to be the best bet on the board.

Seattle won 11 games in 2019 and its roster appears to be even better this season, especially on defense with the additions of LB Jordyn Brooks, DE Bruce Irvin and CB Quinton Dunbar. While the schedule could be difficult, especially with the strength of the conference, 11 wins are certainly possible.

If you are very optimistic about the Seahawks chances this season, 12 wins (+800) is a fun longs-hot bet. Can Seattle win one more game than it did last season? If Metcalf and Lockett can continue to help elevate the passing game, it’s certainly on the table. Look for the Seahawks to be a Super Bowl contender again this season.
