FanDuel Sportsbook dropped some numbers for Super Bowl LXI, and guess what? Our Seattle Seahawks are sitting at +1100 odds, ahead of the Los Angeles Chargers’ +1700. Yeah, you read that right. While the Bolts might be riding high on making the playoffs the last two years, it seems like the oddsmakers in Vegas think our guys are in a better spot to lift that Lombardi trophy.

Chargers’ “High Expectations” Hit the Vegas Reality Check

So, the Chargers are rolling into 2026 with “high expectations,” after those back-to-back playoff berths. They’ve got a whole new offensive coordinator and defensive coordinator in the mix, hoping these “small tweaks will go a long way.” Sounds like a rebuild disguised as a refresh, if you ask me. But when you look at those Super Bowl odds, they’re trailing some serious contenders. The Los Angeles Rams are way out front at +500, then you got the Buffalo Bills at +1000. Right after them? Our Seattle Seahawks at +1100! The Baltimore Ravens (+1200) and Houston Texans (+1600) are also ahead of the Chargers at +1700. It’s a wake-up call for a team supposedly eyeing the big prize. You can have all the high expectations you want, but the numbers tell a different story about who’s actually a top-tier contender.

The Chargers’ Road Trip to Lumen Field

The Bolts’ 2026 schedule is officially out, and while they’ve got some tough matchups ahead, there’s one game that every 12 knows is circled on the calendar. Their regular season kicks off at home against the Arizona Cardinals on September 13, then they host the Las Vegas Raiders a week later. But Week 3 is where things get real with a trip to face the Buffalo Bills. Then comes the moment we’ve all been waiting for: Week 4. On Sunday, October 4, at 1:25 PM PT, the Los Angeles Chargers are coming to Lumen Field to face our Seattle Seahawks, live on CBS.

It’s not just another game on the schedule, it’s a statement. This is our chance to show them why those Vegas odds are right. After they visit us, they’ll head home to host the Denver Broncos, then travel to Kansas City to face the Chiefs. But first, they gotta deal with the noise, the energy, and the passion of the 12s at Lumen. Get ready to show them what Seattle football is all about.
