Accordingly, Geno Smith locked in his spot as the starting quarterback of the Seahawks with a stunning 2022 season. He filled in for the departing Russell Wilson far better than any talking heads predicted. Now with the NFL odds addition of Ohio State’s Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Seattle likely sports the most devastating receiving trio in the NFL. The Seahawks were favored to take a defensive lineman in the draft. So it was a surprise when they opted for cornerback Devon Witherspoon at fifth overall.

Seattle schedule highlights include a Thanksgiving matchup against the division rival San Francisco 49ers at home. And there are two other prime-time games with a Week 5 bye. Last season, the Seahawks played five of their final seven at home. They’ll be on the road for four of their final six this year. Including a second straight Thursday night game against the Dallas Cowboys. That online betting matchup is the week after Thanksgiving and a Christmas Eve game against the Tennessee Titans.
Seattle probably won’t mind having a Week 5 bye. Additionally, they won’t mind playing four of the toughest games on their schedule in the second half.
2023 Seattle Seahawks Offseason Moves
Namely, Devon Witherspoon’s aggressive mentality should serve him and Seattle well. Especially in a division with wide receivers who excel after the catch. Including Deebo Samuel, Cooper Kupp, and Rondale Moore. However, looking at their overall roster, they needed another cornerback to complement standout Tariq Woolen, and Witherspoon could be just that.
Last year at this time, gamblers debated which quarterback the Seahawks would select with their No. 1 overall pick. It shows what NFL betting odds experts know. Consider Seattle added Dre’Mont Jones, Bobby Wagner, Devon Witherspoon, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and Zach Charbonnet to a team that went 9-8. Now is it possible to think they could compete for the NFC West?
