The Seahawks & Tough NFC West
The NFC West has arguably been the best division in the NFL the last decade. The division has represented the NFC in six of the last 10 Super Bowls.
But with four competitive franchises, it’s hard to pick which team will win the NFC West division crown. The Seahawks, Los Angeles Rams, San Francisco 49ers and Arizona Cardinals have all made the playoffs at least once within the last two years.
The Seahawks were the only one of those four teams not to make the 2021-22 postseason. That’s the simplest reason to explain why Seattle has the worst Super Bowl odds in the division for next season.
Seahawks’ 2022 Opponents Preview
With the NFL Draft and free agency, rosters are going to change a lot before the start of next season. And the official NFL schedule is not released until the spring.
But it’s still not too early to look at who the Seahawks will be facing at home and on the road during the 2022 season.
Seahawks 2022 opponents
Home: 49ers, Falcons, Panthers, Broncos, Raiders, Giants, Jets, Cardinals, Rams
Road: Saints, Buccaneers, Chiefs, Chargers, Lions, Cardinals, Rams, 49ers
The NFL schedule works in such a way that the last-place teams from the year prior in the same conference are guaranteed to play each other the next season. That means in addition to the Carolina Panthers, the Seahawks will face the New York Giants and Detroit Lions.
With the league’s new 17th game, the Seahawks will face another 2021 last-placed team from the AFC — the New York Jets.
Again, the offseason can change the rosters of those teams, but right now, those three teams are “weaker” opponents the Seahawks will draw on their schedule that no other team in the NFC West will.
But, the Seahawks’ schedule will include visits to the New Orleans Saints, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Los Angeles Chargers and Kansas City Chiefs — all four of which were either in the playoffs or contending for a postseason berth in Week 18. The other NFC West teams will play those four opponents as well but not all on the road.
Of course, each NFL team has six division games, which are so vital to everyone’s playoff hopes, especially in the NFC West. The Seahawks went 3-3 inside the division in 2021.
It’ll be interesting to see if any offseason moves the Seahawks perform over the next few months moves the needle at all in the team’s Super Bowl odds in Las Vegas.
