The largest and most technologically advanced Super Bowl ring ever created is officially here for your Seattle Seahawks, celebrating their SBLX championship run. The Emerald City is still buzzing from that incredible 2025 season, but the 2026 predictions are already dropping, and one national pundit is likely feeling some serious heat after how he completely blew it last year when it came to our Hawks.
“Absolutely Whiffed” Is An Understatement
CBS Sports’ John Breech just released his annual NFL predictions for the 2026 season, and before diving into who he thinks will win it all this year, he had to clear the air about his 2025 track record. Listen, this guy isn’t a total scrub. According to the folks at Stadium Rant, Breech had the second-most accurate preseason predictions among media members they tracked last season. He even nailed the exact record for 13 different teams, or came within one game of it.
But then there’s us. Our Seahawks. Breech admitted he “absolutely whiffed” on our squad in 2025. He went on record predicting the Hawks would miss the playoffs entirely. If you watched even a single snap of football last year, you know how hilariously wrong that turned out to be. Not only did the Seahawks make the playoffs, they ran the table and hoisted the Super Bowl LXI trophy! Seriously, he said that beautiful championship ring we just got is “worth more than my car,” and he could’ve bought a new one if he’d just bet on our boys.
The 2026 Season: Can Breech Predict a Repeat?
You can bet your bottom dollar Breech won’t be making that mistake again. He said it himself: “I definitely will not be underestimating the Seahawks this year.” That’s music to our ears, because after seeing what Head Coach Mike Macdonald and Offensive Coordinator Brian Fleury built with players like Sam Darnold, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Rashid Shaheed, and Cooper Kupp in 2025, how could anyone underestimate this team?
The biggest question now, heading into these 2026 predictions, is whether this pundit who missed the mark so spectacularly on our last championship run will actually have the guts to pick the Seahawks for a Super Bowl repeat. The whole league is wondering if anyone can knock our Hawks off their perch, and we’re eager to see if Breech finally gives the reigning champs the respect they’ve earned. Will he see the same unstoppable force we do?
