Seahawks Futures from Bovada

Off a dominating season in the Pacific Northwest the Hawks begin defense of their 2014 Super Bowl win. With not a whole lot of wholesale changes it looks like Seattle will be tough to beat again in 2014-2015.

I mentioned that there hasn’t been a whole lot of change in camp this year for Seattle but Percy Harvin’s presence for a full season makes this team a whole lot more dangerous.

The Hawks got it done without Harvin last year and when he was finally able to play he made a huge difference – an 87 yard kickoff return for a touchdown and adding a 30 yard run.

Harvin will make a terrific Russell Wilson a whole lot better. Having a legitimate #1 receiver to go along with a hopefully healthy Sidney Rice makes the one glaring hole on Seattle (the passing game), legit.

And then there is Seattle’s very effective running game – it should be anchored again my Marshawn Lynch who has rushed for more than 4500 yards and 39 total touchdowns including the postseason the last three years.

He has highly touted Robert Turbin as a backup – he could play a part as well this season.

Simply put, Seattle’s offense looks as deep, as complete and as dangerous as any team in the NFL on paper – they just have to get it done on the field.

With Seattle’s offense looking like they may take a step forward this upcoming season, there is no reason for the defense to take a step up in 2014-2015.

They were terrific last year. Kam Chancellor and Richard Sherman who signed a new four-year $57 million contract make up one of – if not the best secondaries in the game and Earl Thomas is quickly becoming the best safety in the NFL. The linebacking corps returns with Bruce Irvin Bobby Wagner and KJ Wright – incredible.

Red Bryant, Chris Clemons Clinton McDonald, Michael Bennett, Cliff Avril, Brandon Mebane and Tony McDaniel are one of the best lines in football making the Seahawks stacked in every aspect of their D.

Seattle’s defense ranked number one in the NFL in total defense, passing defense, points allowed, takeaways, turnover differential, interceptions and opposing QB rating last year and seem to be motivated to get even better this year – scary!

There are no holes on the Seattle Seahawks – they are entering the season with fewer question marks than any team in the NFL.

Pete Carroll and his staff have raised to an elite level in the NFL – yet another strength of this team.

Seahawks 2014 Betting Prediction:

Expect the Seahawks to win all eight games at home and to go 4-4 on the road.

That adds up to a 12-4 season and another NFC West crown.
