Despite finishing 9-8 last season, the Seahawks didn't know they were going to the postseason until all 18 weeks had passed. Their Week 18 win over the Lions and Packers gave them a playoff berth after a three-team race for the last wild card spot. They hope to challenge San Francisco, which was 13-4 last year, with a more well-rounded roster this year. In the event that the Niners are off to a slow start, the Seahawks might have a chance to win the game.
Seattle has the 16th-toughest schedule in the NFL this year, per Sharp Football, putting them right around the league average. And the Seahawks have more than enough to prove in the 2023 season. Between the test to see if Geno Smith was really the guy for the franchise, seeing if all the free agency and draft moves improved the roster, and if in Jaxon Smith-Njigba the Seahawks have a true No. 3 guy, the Seahawks must capitalize on what will be a critical 2023 season.
