The Super Bowl rematch is HERE, Seattle, and the 12s are absolutely buzzing with confidence. A staggering 94% of Seahawks fans polled believe our Hawks are going to kick off the NFL season with a win against the New England Patriots this Wednesday, September 9th, right here at Lumen Field.
We Demoralized Them, And We’re Not Done
Think back to last February, Emerald City. Our Hawks didn’t just win Super Bowl LX, we put on a clinic. After absolutely marauding through our 2025 schedule, knocking off divisional rivals like the San Francisco 49ers (and doing it handily, mind you) and the Los Angeles Rams, we got to the big dance. And when we got there? We shut down and shut out the Patriots until well into the fourth quarter of a dominant 29-13 beatdown. That wasn’t a fluke, folks. We set a franchise record with a massive +191 scoring differential in 2025. And here’s the kicker: we retained an unbelievable 20 of 22 starters from that championship squad. So yeah, it’s no wonder fans are feeling this good about the rematch, with 48% predicting a win by 9+ points and another 46% thinking we’ll take it by 1-8 points. That’s just two measly percentage points separating total domination from a competitive victory, but it’s ALL in our favor!
Vegas Still Ain’t Giving Us Our Due
Now, let’s talk about the disrespect. For Super Bowl LX, we were -4.5-point favorites. Now, for Week 1, FanDuel Sportsbook lists us at only -3.5. Seriously? Are we STILL not getting our just dues? It feels like the league, and Vegas, forgets how our “Dark Side” defensive line absolutely manhandled the Patriots’ O-line on the biggest stage. New England knows it too, they tried to get tougher in the offseason, publicly pursuing A.J. Brown and signing Alijah Vera-Tucker to shore up that exact weakness. Good luck with that, Pats, you’re gonna need it. A tiny 6% of our polled fans think the Patriots might sneak a 1-8-point win, probably keeping those offseason moves in mind, but come on. We’re building something special and long-term here, and we just handed them their worst Super Bowl loss in recent memory.
This Wednesday, September 9th, before the game even kicks off, we’re raising a Super Bowl banner over our heads. How cool is that? We’re immediately squaring off against an opponent we absolutely demoralized on the biggest damn stage, and the whole league is watching. It’s time for our Hawks to continue demanding respect and show everyone that the 2025 season was just the beginning. Let’s get this Week 1 W!
