Seattle Seahawks host New England Patriots in Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season at Lumen Field on Thursday. Read on for our full match preview, betting tips, and best odds.
The season kicks off with a genuine Super Bowl LX rematch, and it’s hard to script a better opener than that. Seattle got the job done last time out, running out 29-13 winners, but the storyline heading into this one is A.J. Brown’s Patriots debut, reuniting with Mike Vrabel after his contract drama finally got resolved. He’ll line up against Christian Gonzalez, fresh off a big new deal, who held him to just 27 yards in the Super Bowl.
Seattle’s secondary isn’t at full strength with Okada and Emmanwori both banged up, and with Kenneth Walker gone in free agency, it’s Jarrian Price stepping in as the lead back with an injured Zach Charbonnet sitting out the start of the season
Seattle are the defending champs, and I don’t think people are giving them enough credit for it. I’m backing them to make a statement in this one. The 12s celebrate the banner, the ring and a BIG victory.
