Here is an early look at the 2017 home schedule (with percentage that Seahawks will win)

I admit I am not real prognosticator. I have as much guess as anyone else what will happen in any game. Of course, I have watched a lot of Seahawks games. And this is my guess on what will occur in the Seahawks’ home games this year.

San Francisco 49ers: 95%

The 49ers stink. Let’s be honest. They signed a few free agents that make them marginally better than 2016. Or does it? Either way, the 49ers are terrible. Seattle almost toyed with them in 2016 at the end of the season. They should easily defeat San Francisco both times in 2017. If they do not, then an issue has occurred somewhere.

Indianapolis Colts: 75%

The Colts have a very good quarterback. But they are not good defensively. They might lose their sack leader Erik Walden to free agency. Seattle might possibly have a healthy Paul Richardson, Tyler Lockett and Doug Baldwin all on the field. Score (like, literally)!

Houston Texans: 65%

The Texans might be even better defensively next season than they were this year, if J.J. Watt comes back healthy. Still, the Texans do not look like they will be better at quarterback because of trading the 2016 starter. Seattle beats bad and rookie quarterbacks.

Washington: 75%

Washington is not a bad team, they are just not a very good team. If quarterback Kirk Cousins gets hot against Seattle, Washington has a chance. Washington has lost a few receivers as well.

Atlanta Falcons: 50%

Though the Falcons lost in Seattle in 2016, Atlanta beat the Seahawks in Atlanta in the playoffs. Matt Ryan has beaten Seattle in two important games in his career. Plus, the Falcons believe they can win against the Seahawks. That is rare with any team.

Philadelphia Eagles: 70%

The Eagles improved last season and Carson Wentz showed promise. Still, the Seahawks easily handled Philadelphia in 2016 and the Eagles are not much better, if any, this coming year. The Eagles have made some improvements offensively this offseason. 12s all know that defense wins championships. And games.

Los Angeles Rams: 65%

Great news! Jeff Fisher (you know, the coach who could defeat Seattle and no one else) is no longer the coach. Flipside, Aaron Donald is still a Ram.

Arizona Cardinals: 60%

Why: Seattle should be favored at home against every team (except maybe the Falcons depending on the teams’ records and time of year they play) and should have beaten the Cardinals twice in 2016. Instead they won neither game. Seattle is the better team.
