The NFL Schedule will be released on May 12 at 5 pm PT.  Here’s my prediction on what the Seahawks schedule this season will look like.

I won’t be predicting game times, as they are subject to change and often do change throughout the year to put more attractive games in primetime and less attractive ones on Sunday afternoon.

What we already know for sure is all of Seattle’s opponents and which ones they will play at home and away.  Obviously, there will be 6 division games per usual.  To supplement these 6 games, the Seahawks will play the entirety of two divisions:  the AFC South and the NFC North (8 games).  The final 3 games will be their matchups against the Washington Football Team, the New Orleans Saints, and the 17th game added this offseason against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Predicting the Seahawks schedule

As it stands, Seattle will still only have one bye week.  The additional game was added by way of removing one week of preseason games.  Let’s get to the prediction.

Week One:  Seahawks at Colts

Week Two:  Seattle at Vikings

Week Three:  Seahawks vs. Cardinals

Week Four:  Seattle vs. Bears

Week Five:  Seahawks vs. Jaguars

Week Six:  Seattle at Rams

Week Seven:  Seahawks at 49ers

Week Eight:  BYE

Week Nine:  Seattle at Texans

Week Ten:  Seahawks at Washington Football Team

Week Eleven:  Seattle vs. Lions

Week Twelve:  Seahawks vs. 49ers

Week Thirteen:  Seattle vs. Titans

Week Fourteen:  Seahawks at Cardinals

Week Fifteen:  Seattle at Packers

Week Sixteen:  Seahawks vs. Saints

Week Seventeen:  Seattle vs. Rams

Week Eighteen:  Seahawks at Steelers

I think that the 17th game added will be played in the final week of the season.  If it’s not, Seattle vs. Rams would make an excellent game to finish the regular season, since in the past the final week of the schedule includes division games for all teams.

This a fairly raw prediction, but I would love to the schedule turn out this way.  It saves the best games of the year (for the most part) until the back portion of the schedule.
