The 2025 Seattle Seahawks regular season schedule will go live this Wednesday. As noted last week, the Seahawks are almost certainly going to be playing Week 1 at home<\/a> due to Lumen Field\u2019s availability that weekend. If we assume a home game, these are the Seahawks\u2019 possible opponents:<\/p>\n

Los Angeles Rams
\nArizona Cardinals
\nSan Francisco 49ers
\nNew Orleans Saints
\nTampa Bay Buccaneers
\nIndianapolis Colts
\nHouston Texans
\nMinnesota Vikings<\/p>\n

Of these matchups, which team would you like to face the most to start Mike Macdonald\u2019s second season? We know that divisional games are almost always tricky and the NFC West should be very competitive again this year. The New Orleans Saints are pretty bad and Derek Carr just retired, so they\u2019re the \u201ceasy on paper\u201d matchup. <\/p>\n

Both the Buccaneers and Texans made the playoffs in each of the past two seasons and have a lot of offensive firepower, but Houston has a dangerous defense. Did you know they signed Darrell Taylor in free agency? I genuinely did not see that back in March.<\/p>\n

The Colts… I mean they exist, right? We\u2019ll see if it\u2019s Anthony Richardson or Daniel Jones as the starter. We know that Jones has no problem winning in Seattle even on a 3-14 team.<\/p>\n

Then there\u2019s the Minnesota Vikings, who effectively eliminated the Seahawks from playoff contention and ended the Geno Smith Era. The Lumen Field crowd was silent when Sam Darnold threw three touchdowns, including the game winner. Now they\u2019ll gladly cheer him if he throws three TDs against his former team. Presumably the Vikings will have J.J. McCarthy making his NFL regular season debut by this point… but what if Sam Howell is called into action? Sam vs. Sam?!<\/p>\n

Tell me who you want for Week 1! Or maybe you think the Seahawks will be on the road and I\u2019m a dummy, in which case the road opponents are here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
