2015-16 Seattle Seahawks Schedule
Seattle Seahawks OVER 11 (-140) Season Wins
The Seattle Seahawks exemplify what an NFL team should be. A powerhouse offense along with a powerhouse defense and the best fanbase in the NFL. Offensively, they have it all, a great quarterback with a high IQ who can scramble his ass off, but also knows when to pass instead of run. A beast in a running back and because of the mobility, time in the pocket caused by the offensive line, the wide receiver get plenty of time to get open. The addition of Jimmy Graham will serve as a boost in the Tight End position as well. The exact same thing can be said for the Seahawks defense, ranking 1st in opponents points per game and yards per play. The Seahawks will once again be the team to beat in the NFC. In fact, we may actually see another playoff rematch between the Green Bay Packers and the Seattle Seahawks, which I can’t complain about.
