Seattle Seahawks’ Surprising Star: How Sam Darnold Is Quietly Shaking Up the NFL in 2025
So here’s the kicker—why is nobody in the betting world throwing down chips on the 2025 Seattle Seahawks just because they swapped out Geno Smith for Sam Darnold? It’s like everyone’s collectively hit the pause button on what could be one of the most intriguing NFL shake-ups this season. Odds-wise, Seattle’s presence is whispering possibilities in the ears of DraftKings bettors everywhere—Super Bowl at +6000, the NFC at +2800, division at +500, and a solid +170 to sneak into the playoffs. But here’s my hot take: the OVER 9.5 alternate wins at +165 steals the spotlight. Sure, the NFC West is a fierce battleground, and 10 wins might not even guarantee a playoff seat—but isn’t that all the more reason to watch Seahawks’ trajectory? With rookie defensive genius Mike Macdonald at the helm, tweaking a squad that soared from 30th to 10th in EPA/play, and Leonard Williams terrorizing the trenches, Seattle’s defense is a force to be reckoned with again. And despite the “elephant in the room” chatter about Darnold being a downgrade, I’m betting on a smart gamble—after all, he’s younger, fresher, and has finally tapped into his potential last year. Combine that with a revamped offensive arsenal, a friendlier schedule, and an improved rest advantage, and suddenly the Seahawks don’t just look competitive—they look downright sneaky good. So, is this the year everyone regrets sleeping on Seattle? I’m all in on finding out. LEARN MORE.
