A not overly optimistic yet joyful prediction for the Seahawks 2023 record
The Seahawks wrap their first half at 5-3, but their best ball is ahead
Commanders | 20 | Seahawks | 10 | L |
|---|---|---|---|---|
@ Rams | 17 | Seahawks | 38 | W |
49ers | 22 | Seahawks | 19 | L |
@Cowboys | 13 | Seahawks | 27 | W |
72 | 94 | 2-2 |
Listen, the Hawks have one weird game every year where you think, how did a Division III team get into our uniforms? This year, it will be against the Commanders, as it has been too often in the past. I do see the Hawks spanking the always-overrated Cowboys in Dallas, though, to bring their overall record to 7-5. It's a young team, and it takes time to grow into big roles. Now on to the finish.
@49ers | 17 | Seahawks | 19 | W |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Eagles | 33 | Seahawks | 30 | L |
@Titans | 16 | Seahawks | 36 | W |
Steelers | 23 | Seahawks | 37 | W |
@Cardinals | 11 | Seahawks | 34 | W |
100 | 156 | 4-1 |
Yep, I have the Seahawks beating the Niners in San Francisco in a brutal matchup. I don't see them bouncing back from that emotional high in time to handle the Eagles at home. And let's face it, Philadelphia is another great team. After that, I see our guys running the table with Geno Smith's offense running as smoothly as a V-12 , and just as strong. Meanwhile, the defense will continue to light it up all over the field.
That puts the Seahawks final record at 11-6. Like I said, that might be optimistic, but it isn't exactly crazy, either. This also projects Seattle with 463 points scored versus 350 points allowed. Those numbers from last season were 407 and 401, respectively. Oh, and I lied because I am about to get mathy.
Remember your geometry, 12s? There's a correlating mathy tool that applies to statistics. The Pythagorean won-loss formula compares points scored and points allowed. This formula states that the Hawks should win 64. 8 percent of their games. That would put them at - surprise - 11 wins. 11.02 wins, but the NFL isn't likely to give us that extra little bit.
