Ranking the Seahawks' 2025 home games easiest to hardest
The NFL released its 2025 season schedule on Wednesday evening in a league-wide coordinated event. The Seattle Seahawks will play eight home contests, having the road-game (nine) disadvantage this year. Having analyzed the upcoming schedule, we've ranked the Seahawks' eight home games easiest to hardest.
New Orleans Saints (Week 3)
The New Orleans Saints are early favorites for the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Starting quarterback Derek Carr recently announced his retirement due to a shoulder injury. The Saints will be deciding between Tyler Shough, Jake Haener, and Spencer Rattler at quarterback. Getting them early in the schedule should be a gift-wrapped victory.
Indianapolis Colts (Week 15)
The Indianapolis Colts are hosting an uninspiring battle at quarterback this offseason. Will the Seahawks see Anthony Richardson or Daniel Jones in Week 15? Richardson is creeping towards bust territory, so the Seahawks should like their chances either way.
Arizona Cardinals (Week 10)
The Seahawks have dominated the Arizona Cardinals in recent memory, sweeping the regular-season series last year. The Cardinals could be sneaky-good this season, so Mike Macdonald must have a good plan in place to continue asserting that dominance.
Houston Texans (Week 7)
The Houston Texans are a tricky inter-conference opponent. They've qualified for the postseason in consecutive seasons, but have failed to go from good-to-great. Still, Macdonald's defense will be in for a tough assignment against franchise quarterback CJ Stroud.
Minnesota Vikings (Week 13)
The Minnesota Vikings were dominant last season, but Seahawks QB Sam Darnold will be fired up for this #RevengeGame opportunity. Making the switch from Darnold to J.J. McCarthy makes the Vikings unpredictable, but they likely won't be as effective as they were last season.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (Week 5)
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers finished third in yards (399.5/game) fourth in scoring (29.5) last season. Baker Mayfield enjoyed an MVP-like season at quarterback. The Buccaneers lost their offensive coordinator Liam Coen to the Jacksonville Jaguars, so we'll see if Mayfield can sustain that success under a third play caller in as many campaigns.
San Francisco 49ers (Week 1)
The Seahawks open the season against the San Francisco 49ers at Lumen Field in Week 1. Macdonald's squad defeated the 49ers on the road in 2024, but have lost three consecutive home contests to the Bay-area based club. Defeating San Francisco to begin the campaign would represent a terrific start.
Los Angeles Rams (Week 16)
The NFC West could partially be decided in Week 16. Defeating the Rams at home would greatly increase the Seahawks' chances of winning the division title. The Seahawks were defeated 26-20 by the Rams in overtime at Lumen Field in 2024.
