The Seattle Seahawks will be 4-0 heading into their early season showdown with the Los Angeles Rams. Here’s how it will all play out.

Let me begin by answering a few questions that may have popped up in your mind. First, I know the Seahawks start with three of their first four games on the road. Second, I know the hot take for Seattle is another season out of the playoffs. I know many prognosticators have picked Seattle to have an uphill fight just to break even in 2018. But that’s okay. The first four teams the Seahawks will face have their own troubles.

Even more importantly, none of them have Russell Wilson. It’s certainly true that Seattle has had a lot of turnover this offseason. When September 9th rolls around, Seattle may be missing not just one future Hall of Famer (Richard Sherman), but three in all (Kam Chancellor from injury and Earl Thomas from a holdout). That won’t be easy to overcome. But as you may have read here previously, the Seahawks didn’t exactly sit still this offseason. And did I mention Seattle has Russell Wilson, and the opponents don’t?
