Seahawks Playoff Chances: Will Seattle Make the Postseason?

  • Based on preseason odds, the Seattle Seahawks are +185 to make the postseason in 2024-25.
  • Dating back to 2018, Seattle has made the postseason all but two years.
  • Based on their negative regression case, I expect the Seahawks will miss the postseason.

Based on NFL odds and Seahawks playoff odds, the Seattle Seahawks are predicted to miss the postseason this year.ย 

Seattle, who enters the 2024 campaign with new head coach Mike McDonald, is +185 to reach the postseason. That price implies a probability of 35.1%.ย 

Comparatively, bettors would have to lay -225 on Seattle to miss the playoffs this season. That implies a probability of 69.2%.

Prediction: Will the Seattle Seahawks Make the Playoffs?ย 

I predict the Seahawks will miss the playoffs this season, largely because of their defensive woes.ย 

The Seahawks were great on offense last year and finished 10th in EPA per play. However, they ranked 30th in defensive EPA per play, per rbsdm.com.ย 

Plus, Seattle ran very lucky in their final season under Pete Carroll. The Seahawks finished 4-1 and 6-4, respectively, in games decided by three or fewer and seven or fewer points.ย

When Was the Last Time the Seattle Seahawks Won the Super Bowl?ย 

Seattle last won the Super Bowl in the 2014 season by blitzing the Broncos 43-8.ย 

They appeared in the Super Bowl the very next year, but they fell in dramatic fashion to the Patriots.ย
