Following a 31-17 road victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers<\/a> at Acrisure Stadium on Sunday, the Seattle Seahawks<\/a> are at .500 through the first two weeks of the 2025 season. Despite his two interceptions in the first half, Sam Darnold threw a pair of touchdown passes, including the game-tying score in the third quarter. Two TDs and a field goal later, the Seahawks left the Steel City with their first win of the year, the team\u2019s first triumph over the Steelers since 2019.<\/p>\n

Seattle\u2019s next opponent is offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak\u2019s old squad, the New Orleans Saints<\/a>. New Orleans has had a rough start to the season, having dropped back-to-back games against the Arizona Cardinals and San Francisco 49ers over the first two weeks. The Saints will travel to the Pacific Northwest for Week 3 in hopes of ending their current losing streak vs. the NFC West, which began in Week 12 of the 2022 season.<\/p>\n

New Orleans quarterback Spencer Rattler is seeking his first career win, having gone 0-8 as a starter up to this point. So far in 2025, the Saints\u2019 sophomore QB has completed 52 of his 80 pass attempts for 421 yards and three touchdowns, with no interceptions through Weeks 1 and 2. In spite of his uninspiring record, Rattler has shown some promise under center down in The Big Easy.<\/p>\n

Likewise, the Seahawks have a similar losing streak that could be snapped this week: Seattle has not beaten New Orleans since the teams met in the 2013 Divisional round, shortly before the \u2018Hawks claimed the Lombardi Trophy during Super Bowl XLVIII. The Saints have won each of the four matchups that have been contested in the time since then, all four of which were decided by just one score.<\/p>\n

FanDuel Sportsbook<\/a> unsurprisingly has Seattle with a decided edge at home, listing Seattle as a seven-point favorite<\/a> for the moment. The over\/under is set at 41.5, which may not be far off considering how many points were scored in the teams\u2019 respective Week 2 contests. Seattle hasn\u2019t won at home since a 16-6 defensive struggle over the Arizona Cardinals last November.<\/p>\n
