Seattle Seahawks’ 2025 Super Bowl Win & 2026 Outlook

6/4/2026, 11:00:26 PM

2025 Super Bowl Win & 2026 Outlook

The 2025 Seahawks entered at +6000 Super Bowl odds after losing DK Metcalf and starting Sam Darnold. A top-three defense and scoring margin drove a 14-3 record, a narrow NFC Championship win over Rams, and a Super Bowl victory over Patriots. 2025 DVOA ranked offense 6th (13.04) and defense 2nd (4.56), 1st (41.2). Defense was top-two in yards per play, #1 in third-down success and #2 in goal-to-go; offense was second in yards per play but 28th in interceptions (14 picks). For 2026 win total is 10.5 (over -130, under +110) and Super Bowl futures rose to +1100, while division odds sit at +196.

Offseason Personnel Moves

Key losses include OC Klint Kubiak, RB Kenneth Walker III, and backs Zach Charbonnet, Riq Woolen, Coby Bryant. Brian Fleury replaces Kubiak as OC. Additions are first-round pick Jadarian Price, RB Emanuel Wilson and two Day 2 defensive selections.

Criticism & Opposition

Analysts doubt the offense’s ability to replace Kubiak’s scheme, noting reliance on Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Sam Darnold’s turnover risk. A “Super Bowl hangover” is cited as eroding value if the line’s health declines.

Official Analyst Commentary

Defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald has outperformed win-total expectations in both seasons. The unit ranked top two in run and pass yards per play and led the league in third-down conversions. Offensively, Seattle posted the second-best yards-per-play figure but struggled with a high interception rate.

Quotes

  • “I expect the defense will continue to be top notch, but I'm worried about how the offense will cope with the loss of Kubiak as well as the run game being led by less experienced options.” — Analyst, CBS Sports
  • “Will the new OC be able to make an offense with one standout option in Smith-Njigba work? Will Darnold start seeing ghosts if the offensive line doesn't stay as healthy as it did last year?” — Analyst, CBS Sports
  • “I think the value is fading the Seahawks and backing a Super Bowl hangover that has affected plenty of teams in recent years.” — Analyst, CBS Sports
  • “If they have a top-three defense and a middle-of-the-road offense, this will likely be around a 10-11 win team, so I'll take the plus odds on the Under here.” — Analyst, CBS Sports

Division Context & Outlook

The 49ers went 12-5 in 2025, fell to Seattle in the divisional round and sit at a 10.5 win total (under –140). The Rams’ Myles Garrett trade pushed NFC West odds, leaving Seattle a longer shot at +196. Seattle’s 2026 schedule opens on Wednesday at New England, includes a Week 12 road game at the Rams and a final-week visit, and features six kickoff days.
