Guess who’s coming back to Lumen Field for the NFC Championship? None other than YOUR Seattle Seahawks, according to FOX Sports’ Nick Wright, who just dropped a bombshell prediction for the 2026-27 season! Wright sees the Seahawks not only returning to the postseason but also hosting the Philadelphia Eagles in a massive NFC title game, a rematch of the Eagles’ 2025 appearance. Talk about a statement for our Hawks as the season gets ready to kick off!
Hawks Eyeing A Deep Run While Chiefs Face Mixed Forecasts
While we’re all buzzing about the Seahawks’ potential, Wright also laid out his full Super Bowl LXI forecast: he’s got the Kansas City Chiefs defeating the Eagles in the big game. For the AFC, Wright predicts a powerhouse showdown between the Baltimore Ravens and the Chiefs, with the Ravens hosting. It’s a bold vision for the entire league, but that Seahawks prediction is what truly gets the 12s fired up. However, not everyone’s on the Chiefs’ hype train. CBS Sports, in a stark contrast, predicts the Chiefs will actually miss the playoffs *again* this season. This sets up some serious early-season drama for Kansas City, who are just one week away from hosting the Denver Broncos for “Monday Night Football” in Week 1, capping off the opening slate of NFL action.
Chiefs Dealing With Off-Field News Ahead of Kickoff
Beyond the predictions, the Chiefs are heading into Week 1 with some notable news off the field. Patrick Mahomes Sr. has filed a motion to amend his probation, seeking approval to travel out of state for seven of his son’s NFL games. Court records show he wants to see games in Kansas City, Las Vegas, and Cincinnati, understanding he needs to submit urinalysis testing before and after each trip, as requested by his supervision officer. On the field, the Chiefs did make an interesting move, keeping undrafted rookie safety Xavier Nwankpa on their 53-man roster as the fourth safety. Nwankpa, who called it “kind of crazy” to find out he was starting shortly before kickoff when Alohi Gilman was ruled out, played a “pretty solid game.” He felt “super blessed” and “pretty ecstatic” that the Chiefs liked enough of what they saw to keep him around.
As Week 1 approaches, with the Chiefs hosting the Broncos, the talk around the league is already heating up. But here in the Emerald City, all eyes are on that audacious prediction from Nick Wright. Could this really be the year the Seahawks host the NFC Championship? We’ll be watching every snap, ready to see our boys prove him right!
