As we have all learned over the years, dont over-react to the pre-season. But before even training camp started, we knew these facts about the seahawks:
- very good defense - good special teams, great punt returning - great running game - good homefield - easier division - cardinals have no QB, rams are improved but still lack playmakers, niners are due to regress
the big question mark was at the qb position...
so after seeing russel wilson play, who is gonna drink the cool-aid and take the hawks to win over 7.5 games @-125, challenge for the division, and/ or win the nfc at +1700.
points against the hawks: - they have a tough out of division schedule. BUT they play green bay at home on a monday night. huge spot for an upset! they also play new england at home. once again a huge spot for an upset vs a new england team vulnerable to a good pass rush. the next week they play at san fran on a thursday night, but the niners will be coming off a surely emotioanl game vs the giants. if the hawks win 1 of those 3, they will be worst case 3-5 after 8 games and have a relatively speaking easier second half. - penalties. pete carroll teams are notoriously undisciplined

I'd definitely take a shot at Seahawks to win the divsion. San Francisco might be taking a slight step back this year there's no way they repeat what they did last year defensively. As long as that teams keeps playing conservative and playing "not to lose games" they won't be elite. Randy Moss might add another dimension to their offense but he only plays half the games anyways.
Seahawks for the division is really worth a look, imo

I would take over 7.5 for a large sum. I watched them a lot last year and made lots of money off them. They are one of the best teams at home. They control the line of scrimmage and can run on anyone. They were the only team for rush for 100yds and score a rush TD against SF last year. They have 3 pro bowl DBs and play really good D. This is one of my surprise teams of the year. I will be betting on them almost every week especially if they are a dog.

Too tough to expect them to dethrone the 49ers for the division so soon. Maybe one more year. Disagree with Mugg that they can win 11 games, but agree a minimum of 8 wins is very likely. Play that season total over 7.5, collect your money and don't try to be a hero.

I have them going 2-2 their first 4 at worst; I played them over 7-160 and took them to win division at +440. They went 7-9 last year with TJAX at QB, HUGE upgrade there with Wilson/Flynn. At worst they'll go 8-8 with the defense they have, and I could see them winning 11 games this year.
