How many games will the Seattle Seahawks win in the 2020 NFL season? We look at BetMGM‘s projected win total and the Over/Under odds, while looking back at the 2019 season and key offseason roster changes.
Seattle Seahawks’ 2019 season
The Seahawks went 11-5, qualifying for the NFC postseason as a wild card and the No. 5 seed – the San Francisco 49ers won the NFC West at 13-3. Seattle ended up going just 4-4 at Century Link Field, but posted a sparkling 7-1 mark on the road. In addition, the Seahawks were 8-4 vs. NFC teams and 3-1 against the AFC, but they were simply mediocre against division rivals at 3-3.
For betting purposes, they finished 7-8-1 against the spread with an 8-7-1 Over/Under record in the regular season.
Seattle Seahawks’ 2020 offseason changes
The Seahawks were not terribly busy in the free agency market. It wasn’t totally quiet, however, as they did retain DT Jarran Reed, inking him to a two-year, $23 million deal.
The Seahawks improved their defense in the NFL Draft with the addition of LB Jordyn Brooks (Texas Tech) and EDGE Darrell Taylor (Tennessee) in the first two rounds. OL Damien Lewis (LSU) was picked in the third, TE Colby Parkinson (Stanford) and RB Deejay Dallas (Miami) were selected in the fourth, while EDGE Alton Robinson (Syracuse) was grabbed in the fifth round. Seattle’s final two picks were WR Freddie Swain (Florida) and TE Stephen Sullivan (LSU) in the sixth and seventh rounds, respectively.

Projected wins: 9.5 / OVER: +120 / UNDER: -145
The books aren’t feeling the Seahawks and their personnel changes during the offseason. In addition, while they’re not likely to go .500 again in front of their boisterous fans, the home schedule is rather daunting. There are a couple of certain victories, but a lot of difficult tasks, too. In addition, they’re not going 7-1 on the road again. Long, cross-country treks to the Eastern Time Zone for all five of their non-divisional road games will take a lot of wind out of their sails. UNDER 9.5 (-145) is the way to go here.
