Seattle Seahawks 2021 schedule Predictions toughest stretch opponent preview key matchups and more

It was quite the up-and-down season for the in 2020. On one hand, they served notice that they're still the benchmark in the NFC West after adding another division title to their resume, but that 12-4 record wound up being a moot point in the playoffs. Their victories in the final two weeks of the regular season -- over the and , respectively Elias Lindholm Kids Jersey -- gave them the crown but then pitted them against the Rams in the wild-card round, in a matchup that saw them thumped by Los Angeles and unceremoniously dismi sed from the tournament. Unbeknownst to the Seahawks, that exit would make cup of frustration runneth over.Wilson went on to publicly voice his grievances in not having a voice in the roster-building proce s, and his agent turned the screws that much more by naming four teams he'd wave his no-trade clause to leave Seattle for, but no trade arrived.Instead, the Seahawks reportedly gave the the cold shoulder in their pursuit of Wilson and instead traded for offensive lineman (and then extended his contract), extended All-Pro wide receiver (much to Wilson's liking) and are now reportedly discu sing the po sibility of trading for future Hall of Fame receiver -- . Add to the fact Wilson , and it appears the relationship is back on track, which means the Seahawks will again be a frontrunner to win the NFC West.That will be a difficult feat, however, given the ma sive shakeup within the division, but they enter Week 1 as 2.5-point favorites to take down the on the road per William Hill Sportsbook, and they'll need that win to open a gauntlet of games in 2021; and with a schedule that isn't exactly forgiving.

It's po sible is rejuvenated under the rekindled tutelage of head coach Frank Reich, and linebacker leads a Colts defense that can be problematic. But with the stable of offensive weapons owned by the Seahawks (even without Julio Jones), more protection for Wilson and a presumably improved pa s rush, they take a close one in Indy.

Week 2- Sunday, Sept. 19Location:Lumen Field (Seattle)Time:4:25 p.m. ETOpponent win total:O/U 9.5Their tour of the AFC South continues in Week 2 when they try to do the Colts a favor after having done the same for the Titans by virtue of handing Indy a lo s. And while the Titans are a much more defined team than the one led by Wentz, this game being in front of what could be a packed Lumen Field audience (for the first time since the pandemic struck) will power the Seahawks to a decisive victory -- the 12th man likely registering on nearby seismographs.Prediction:30-17, SeahawksWeek 3- Sunday, Sept. 26Location:U.S. Bank Stadium (Minneapolis)Time:4:25 p.m. ETOpponent win total:O/U 8.5 Starting with a two-game win streak will help buffer what will likely happen in Week 3, when the Seahawks meet and the Vikings. Cousins had a strong year in 2020 and his offense is just as stacked Wilson's, and he'll go against a questionable Seattle secondary with home cooking on his side, so give this one to Minnesota and its fans; who've also been rabid about returning to support their team.Prediction:35-24, VikingsFirst meeting:Week 4 - Levi's Stadium ( Lee Stempniak Jersey Santa Clara) - Sunday, Oct. 3, 4:05 pm ETSecond meeting:Week 13 - Lumen Field (Seattle) - Sunday, Dec. 5, 8:20 p.m. ETOpponent win total:O/U 10Gut check numero uno, coming right up. The Vikings are a strong test of the Seahawks resolve, but not like the 49ers. In what's evolving into an extremely challenging gauntlet of games to open the season, losing to the 49ers would dent the Seahawks armor early and leave many wondering where the NFC West shakes out in the end. Also, Seattle has no idea if will start this game, or rookie third-overall pick , adding extra spice to each matchup -- the two teams split the 2021 series. Week 4 Prediction:24-21, 49ersWeek 13 Prediction: 40-28, SeahawksFirst meeting:Week 5 - Lumen Field (Seattle) - Thursday, Oct. 7, 8:20 p.m. ETSecond meeting: Week 15 - SoFi Stadium (LA) - Sunday, Dec. 19, 4:25 p.m. ETOpponent win total:O/U 10.5From the frying pan right into the fire, the Seahawks must go from one division rival to another in consecutive weeks. This isn't the same Rams team that dismi sed them from the playoffs, Jack Drury Women Jersey which is the good news. The bad news is they're presumably better with at the helm and some offseason tweaks, but home cooking will save the Seahawks in Week 5 -- just not Week 15.Week 5 Prediction:31-28, SeahawksWeek 15 Prediction: 35-27, RamsWeek 6- Sunday, Oct. 17Location: Heinz Field (Pittsburgh)Time: 8:20 p.m. ETOpponent win total:O/U 9 No rest for the weary after arguably the toughest stretch of their schedule, because the Seahawks must now hop on a flight acro s the country to face the Steelers. is on the decline though, which could negate any positives gained this offseason by Pittsburgh, and the Seahawks can readily take advantage of the suddenly turnover-prone and aging future Hall of Famer. They'll simply have to avoid giving over the ball themselves to a ballhawking Pittsburgh defense.Prediction:28-20, SeahawksWeek 7- Monday, Oct. 25Location: Lumen Field (Seattle)Time:8:15 p.m. ETOpponent win total:O/U 9.5No Drew Brees? Big problem. Granted, Brees wasn't exactly in prime form in his final season, but he was still light years better than those who sat behind him. It's now show in New Orleans, that is unle s it's , that is unle s it's eventually , and it's this unrest at QB that leaves the Saints trying to figure out an identity in 2021. The Seahawks have one already, and Wilson embarra ses the visitors in Week 7 -- aided by several Saints turnovers. Prediction:47-20, SeahawksWeek 8- Sunday, Oct. 31Location: Lumen Field (Seattle)Time: 4:05 p.m. ETOpponent win total:O/U 6There are good vibes to be felt in North Florida, but that's not where this game is being played and the new era led by and Urban Meyer is one wherein neither have experience at the NFL level. They'll Brett Pesce Kids Jersey get seven weeks of it prior to their trek to Seattle, but it won't change the outcome of this game. Pete Carroll takes Meyer to school in this one, while Wilson does the same to the rookie first-overall pick.Prediction:40-17, SeahawksWeek 10- Sunday, Nov. 14Location: Lambeau Field (Green Bay)Time:4:25 p.m. ETOpponent win total:Off To or to not Aaron Rodgers, that is the question? As it stands, the Packers' answer is to keep the future first-ballot Hall of Famer around and hope he honors his contract. Should he do so, this game will be an SAT for both clubs, and should go down to the wire despite the Seahawks having two weeks to prepare for it. And in a close game between two NFC contenders, it's usually home field that tilts the scale.Pre
