Nate Davis of USA TODAY Sports is at it again, predicting how each team in the NFL will finish the 2020 season. In his 2.0 team record projection, Davis asserts the Seattle Seahawks will wrap up the year at 9-7 and with a wild-card spot in the playoffs.
“A team that excelled amid plenty of smoke and mirrors in 2019 – Seattle somehow won 11 times despite outscoring its opponents collectively by just seven points – should have a lot more smoke after acquiring Adams from the Jets,” Davis writes.

“Yet questions remain about the pass rush, O-line, a pair of running backs returning from serious injuries … not to mention an uninviting schedule,” Davis continues. “All five of the Seahawks’ non-divisional road games will take place in the Eastern time zone – forcing them to trek a league-high 29,000+ miles.”
Seattle is used to the long-haul travel and has become quite successful in early games. The Seahawks are also looking to front one of the more formidable defenses in the league with the revamped secondary.
Davis might have Seattle’s 2020 team record a little low this year – 10 or 11 wins seems a bit more reasonable for the Seahawks.
