Alright, so the Los Angeles Rams think they are hot stuff after being “one win away” from Super Bowl LX in 2025. But let’s get real for a second, okay? While they were watching, our Seattle Seahawks were out there claiming the NFC West division and bringing that Lombardi Trophy home! Yeah, the Rams finished 12-5 and snagged the #5 seed, but who cares when you are not the ones hoisting the hardware? We are.
A ‘Difficult’ Schedule? Try Being The Champs!
Our pals down south are already sweating their 2026 schedule, talking about how “difficult” it is. Nine of their 17 games are against playoff teams from last year. Big whoop, right? Every single team in the league is gunning for *us* now that we have got the ring! We are the champs everyone wants a piece of. FanDuel Sportsbook has the Rams’ over/under win total at 11.5 for this season. You know what? Our Seattle Seahawks are sitting right there at 10.5, and the San Francisco 49ers are also at 10.5. Then you have got the Arizona Cardinals, way down at a measly 4.5. Don’t tell me for a second that our reigning Super Bowl champs are not gonna smash that 10.5 total. We have got Head Coach Mike Macdonald leading the charge, with Offensive Coordinator Brian Fleury dialing up plays. Sam Darnold is slinging it to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Rashid Shaheed, and Cooper Kupp. That’s a powerhouse lineup built for way more than 10.5 wins, trust me. They will be defending that Lombardi like their lives depend on it, and it shows on the field.
Double Trouble For The Rams: Twice Against The 12s
Forget all the other teams on their schedule for a moment. The only dates that truly matter for the Emerald City faithful, the 12s, are when those Rams absolutely *have* to face our boys. And get this: Regular Season Week 16, they are visiting our house, the legendary Lumen Field, on *Christmas Day*! Friday, December 25th, at 5:15 PM on FOX. What an incredible, unforgettable holiday gift for every single Seattle fan, watching our Super Bowl champs go head-to-head with their biggest division rivals. You know the atmosphere in Seattle will be absolutely insane, a deafening roar that night. And then, to cap off the entire regular season, Week 18 is a flex game where the Rams actually have to *come back* to our turf on January 9th or 10th. Talk about a brutal finish for them! What a way to close out the year: defending our crown against the team that thought they were so close to the big one. We own this division now, and they are gonna be reminded of it not once, but twice, right in front of our eyes.
So yeah, the Rams kick off their regular season against the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday, September 10th. Big game for them, I guess. But for us? We are just counting down the days until December 25th. That’s when the real show starts. Get ready, Seattle, because our Seahawks are about to put on a clinic and prove that 2025 was not a fluke. The Lombardi’s staying right here!
