What Are the Latest Seahawks Playoff Odds?

The Seattle Seahawks' odds to make the playoffs are +170, according to BetMGM, giving them an implied probability of around 37%. These Seahawks playoff chances reflect a team that’s in the mix, but still faces some question marks heading into Week 1. Oddsmakers do see some potential in the revamped Seahawks, but not a guaranteed ticket to January football, with two teams in their division that rank in the top 10 in odds to win the Super Bowl.

Can the Seahawks Make the Playoffs?

Yes, the Seahawks can still make the playoffs — the season hasn’t started, so everything’s still on the table. That said, their current odds at +170 suggest they’re more of a fringe contender than a postseason lock. They’ll need key players like Sam Darnold and Jackson Smith-Njigba to connect early.

Seahawks Playoff Picture

As the 2025 season approaches, anticipation is building in Seattle and among Canadian fans closely watching the Seahawks' playoff chances. With Sam Darnold now under center, Cooper Kupp added to the offense, and a defense expected to take a step forward, there’s a renewed sense of optimism around the team. The NFC remains highly competitive, so the Seahawks will need consistent play to stay in the postseason hunt. Still, the overall Seahawks playoff picture looks more promising than it has in recent seasons.

Where Are the Seahawks in the NFC West Divisional Race?

The Seahawks enter the 2025 season as clear underdogs in their division, with odds of +500 to win the NFC West at BetMGM. In comparison, the 49ers are favored at +160, followed by the Rams at +185 and the Cardinals at +450. Their primary threat for the divisional title is San Francisco, with those +160 odds making them the team to beat in the NFC West. These standings will be updated weekly as the season unfolds.

Looking at the Seahawks' Playoff History & Results

The Seahawks have a sporadic playoff history, appearing in the postseason 20 times over their 49-year existence and playing a total of 36 playoff games, with a record of 17 wins and 19 losses. They've reached the NFC Championship game multiple times and secured division titles under Pete Carroll's leadership from 2010 to 2023, but have otherwise not been a consistent playoff team outside of his tenure.

Yes, the Seahawks have won one Super Bowl. Their only title came in Super Bowl XLVIII (2013 season) when they defeated the Denver Broncos. They've appeared in the Super Bowl three times total (all within nine seasons): XL, XLVIII, and XLIX

Latest News Impacting Seahawks Playoff & Super Bowl Chances

  • Seahawks Go All-In on QB Sam Darnold: Seattle made a free agency splash by signing quarterback Sam Darnold to a three-year deal worth over $100 million after a breakout season with the Minnesota Vikings. The signing signaled a major shift in offensive philosophy away from former quarterback Geno Smith, who was traded to the Las Vegas Raiders. The Seahawks also signed Drew Lock and drafted Jalen Milroe from Alabama to complete their quarterback room.
  • New Offensive Coordinator Klint Kubiak Brings New Identity: The Seahawks brought in Klint Kubiak as their new offensive coordinator, a move that has generated optimism among both players and fans. His new scheme emphasizes play-action and a more balanced attack. This will be Kubiak's first offensive coordinator role, after most recently serving as the quarterbacks coach for the Denver Broncos (and back-up quarterback Drew Lock).
  • Star WR Cooper Kupp Signs with Seattle: In one of the most surprising moves of the offseason, wide receiver Cooper Kupp signed with Seattle. The veteran playmaker brings instant credibility to the receiving corps and gives Darnold a reliable, experienced target to work with after eight seasons with the Los Angeles Rams.
  • Tyrice Knight and a Revamped Defense: Second-year linebacker Tyrice Knight is turning heads at camp and is being touted as a defensive cornerstone for the future. Pairing him with a stacked front seven could give the Seahawks one of the most disruptive defenses in the league this year. 
  • Head Coach Mike Macdonald Ends QB Controversy Rumors: after shaky start for Sam Darnold: After some early offseason speculation, head coach Mike Macdonald made it crystal clear: Sam Darnold is QB1 and Drew Lock and Jalen Milroe will compete for the backup role. 

Key Contributors Toward Seahawk Postseason Odds

  • Sam Darnold: Newly acquired as the Seahawks' starting quarterback, Darnold brings playoff experience and a fresh offensive identity. Continuing to build his chemistry with coordinator Klint Kubiak’s scheme and high-profile targets (Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp) could provide the spark at the most critical position. 
  • Cooper Kupp: Landing this veteran receiver gives Darnold a reliable, game-changing option in the passing game. Kupp’s route-running and clutch performance in tight spots could elevate Seattle’s aerial attack. 
  • Jaxon Smith‑Njigba: Now the clear No. 1 receiver, JSN is expected to see a dramatic boost in targets and production. After posting over 1,100 yards and earning a Pro Bowl nod in 2024, he’s set to become a true go-to weapon. 
  • Devon Witherspoon: The 2023 top-five pick is entering his third season, poised to anchor Seattle’s secondary. His elite coverage skills and playmaking ability make him a cornerstone of what fans expect to be a revitalized defense.

Where Can I Bet on the Seattle Seahawks Postseason Odds?

Across Canada, legal access to sportsbooks varies by province or state, but in Ontario, you’re in luck. Ontario launched its regulated online betting market in April 2022 and now offers more than 30 licensed options, including BetMGM, FanDuel, and DraftKings. Since BetMGM is one of the top operators live in Ontario, that’s the book I’ve used for our Seahawks odds.

If you’re in the United States, similar major sportsbooks are available in each state, but keep in mind that legality and available platforms depend on your specific location.
