In week eight the Seahawks go down to Georgia to face the Atlanta Falcons. The ‘Hawks will visit Ohio in week six.ĭepending on bounce backs and rebuilding, weeks eight, ten, twelve, and fifteen could be rough. For the first time since Bernie Kosar was the QB and the Browns suffered “The Drive” in the 1986 AFC Championship Game at the hands of John Elway in the old Municipal Stadium, the Dog Pound in Cleveland should be an intimidating place to play. The Cleveland Browns in Baker Mayfield’s second season are trendy Super Bowl picks at 15-1, behind only the Saints, Rams, Kansas City Chiefs, and the perennial favorite New England Patriots. With Le’veon Bell in a New York Jets uniform and Antonio Brown set to liven up Jon Gruden’s offense with the Oakland Raiders, it will be interesting to see if the Steelers have themselves a case of addition by subtraction or simply subtraction by subtraction. When last we saw the Steelers, they were in the process of parting ways with the best running back in the league and one of the best wide receivers in the league over contract disputes and general dysfunction. Week two sees the team at Heinz Field against the Pittsburgh Steelers. A healthy Jimmy Garoppolo and a solid draft could make the 49ers contenders in the last week of the season.ĭepending on the trajectory of certain teams, whether they continue to improve or if they bounce back, the Seahawks’ road schedule has the potential to be very rocky, at best. th If the Cardinals do draft Kyler Murray next week with the number one overall pick, he should be getting comfortable in the NFL by the time he gets to Seattle. Depending how the early season goes for the Bucs, that game could also be in a post era…post-Jameis Winston.įinally, division rivals the Arizona Cardinals and the San Francisco 49ers roll up into CenturyLink for the final two games of the season, December 22 nd and December 29. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers come to town in week nine.
In addition to the four playoff teams from last season, the Seahawks will open the season at home against the Bengals in their first post-Marvin Lewis era contest. And the battle against Kirk Cousins in December could be, well, two really rich quarterbacks. Depending on the continuing development of Lamar Jackson and the tailoring of the Ravens offense to his skill set, the late October game could be an exciting matchup at QB, albeit one very rich one and one on a rookie contract. Two additional playoff teams from last season, the Baltimore Ravens and the Minnesota Vikings, invade the Emerald City on October 20 th and December 2 nd respectively. The team that ousted the Saints to go to the Super Bowl, the Los Angeles Rams, comes to the Pacific Northwest two weeks later on October 3 rd in a night game that can be watched on Amazon Prime, as well as Fox. September 22 nd sees Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints, who were one blown pass interference call away from going to the Super Bowl last February, come to town for a battle of potential playoff teams. While the opener at home on September 8 th against the Cincinnati Bengals would appear to be somewhat uninspiring, the Seahawks do have their fair share of quality opponents coming to CenturyLink in the Fall. That said, the Seahawks will face five teams that made the playoffs in 2018 and four teams that won 10 or more games last season. Some teams get better, and some teams get worse. Of course, things change from season to season.
Based on the winning percentage of last season’s opponents, the Seattle Seahawks face the eighth-easiest schedule in the league.Ĭombined, opponents on the schedule for this season won.
