Four weeks into the NFL season, the win totals are shifting, and guess who’s about to make some noise against teams trying to hit their marks? Your Seattle Seahawks are looming large on the schedules of two teams whose early projections are already looking shaky. We’re talking about the kind of games that can absolutely make or break another team’s season, and our boys in green and blue are ready to play spoiler.
The Cardinals Are Struggling, And We’re Next Up
Let’s talk about the Arizona Cardinals. Last year in 2025, they only scraped together three wins. Coming into this 2026 season, DraftKings Sportsbook had their over/under set at 3.5 wins. Well, four weeks in, they’re sitting at a dismal 1-3. Yikes. And what’s wild is their win total has actually *increased* to 4.5 wins despite their rough start. The real kicker? They’ve got a brutal seven-game stretch coming up: Lions, Rams, Broncos, Cowboys, **then your Seattle Seahawks**, followed by the Rams again and the Chiefs. Facing our formidable defense under Mike Macdonald right in the middle of that gauntlet? That’s a serious hurdle for a team that only managed three wins last season and is already 1-3 now. Their hopes of hitting that over 4.5 are gonna run right into Sam Darnold, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and the rest of the squad.
The Bears Think They’re Hot, But They Haven’t Met Us Yet
Then there are the Chicago Bears. These guys actually won the NFC North last season with 11 wins in Ben Johnson’s first year as head coach. They started this season with their over/under at 10.5 wins. Even with Caleb Williams injured and facing what’s considered the NFL’s toughest schedule in 2026, they’ve somehow started 3-1, pushing their win total up to 11.5. Credit where it’s due, that’s a gutsy start. But here’s the thing: their next four games are Packers, Falcons, Patriots, and then, you guessed it, **the Seattle Seahawks**. You think they’re ready for our energy at Lumen Field, or wherever we face them? After navigating that tough schedule and dealing with key injuries, taking on a motivated Seattle team could be exactly what knocks them off their projected path. We know our guys thrive on making life difficult for teams who think they’ve got it all figured out.
What this means for the Hawks: These upcoming matchups aren’t just regular games. They’re chances for our boys under Mike Macdonald to throw a wrench into some other teams’ season goals and show the league exactly what this Seattle squad is made of. Get ready, 12s, it’s gonna be good.
