The Seattle Seahawks are sitting at +1500 odds to hoist the Lombardi Trophy at Super Bowl 61, according to FanDuel Sportsbook, fresh off a dominant 17-3 victory over the Arizona Cardinals. You heard that right, our Hawks are right there in the mix.
The Deadline Shake-Up Has the League Buzzing
The NFL trade deadline just wrapped up, and man, was it wild. We saw Kirk Cousins heading to the Minnesota Vikings in a deal with the Las Vegas Raiders, and Josh Downs got shipped to the Kansas City Chiefs as part of a swap with the Indianapolis Colts. These moves definitely shook up the Super Bowl odds across the league, with teams jockeying for position as we head deeper into the season.
Up top, you’ve got the Buffalo Bills at +550, the San Francisco 49ers at +600, and the Jacksonville Jaguars at +750. Then the Chicago Bears, Kansas City Chiefs, Los Angeles Rams, and Cincinnati Bengals are all listed ahead of us. But don’t sleep on our Hawks. We’re right there in the conversation, not far behind some of those supposed contenders. Our +1500 odds put us right next to teams like the Rams and Bengals, and just ahead of the Detroit Lions and Denver Broncos, who are both at +1600. We’re in it.
Mike Macdonald’s Defense Is Locking Down
Speaking of being in the mix, did you see our guys shut down the Cardinals? That 17-3 final score tells you everything you need to know about Mike Macdonald’s defense. They absolutely suffocated Arizona, giving them no room to breathe. Holding any opponent to just three points is a statement, a massive one.
We might not have seen specific offensive stats from that game, but putting up 17 points and holding an opponent to just three? That’s the kind of ball our team needs to be playing if we want to make a serious run for Super Bowl 61. It shows the grit and determination this squad has.
With these odds placing us squarely in the conversation and the defense looking rock solid after that Cardinals game, the excitement in the Emerald City is absolutely palpable. The road to Super Bowl 61 is long, but our Hawks are showing they’re ready to fight for every single yard. We don’t know who’s next on the schedule, but you can bet we’ll be watching every snap, ready to see these odds climb even higher. Let’s go, Hawks!
