Seahawks Reacts results: Fans confident in Super Bowl rematch win over Patriots

Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Seahawks fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.

After marauding through their schedule, the 2025 Seattle Seahawks beat the divisional rival San Francisco 49ers (handily) and the divisional rival Los Angeles Rams to earn a spot in the Super Bowl this past February. Once there, the Hawks put on a show, shutting down and shutting out the New England Patriots until into the 4th quarter of a 29-13 beatdown.

That recent performance, along with the fact that Seattle retained a staggering 20 of 22 starters from last year’s campaign, perhaps color the fan poll results for the Seahawks’ first game on Wednesday, September 9th.

Of Seahawks fans polled, 94% think that Seattle will win by some amount. The prediction that got the highest percentage of votes (48%) was the Hawks winning by 9+ points to kick off the NFL season. Following closely behind, the scenario involving the Seahawks overcoming the Pats by a more competitive range of 1-8 points came in at 46% of fan vote.

The 6% of voters who think the Patriots will win by a margin of 1-8 points might be keeping in mind that New England did make an effort to get tougher in the offseason. The team had a very public pursuit of A.J. Brown at wide receiver and signed Alijah Vera-Tucker to shore up an offensive line that was manhandled by the “Dark Side” defensive line.

Interesting, as Seattle opened Super Bowl LX as -4.5-point favorites. As of today, FanDuel Sportsbook lists Seattle as being favored in the Week 1 Wednesday rematch, but this time by only -3.5.

Are the Seattle Seahawks still not getting their just dues? They set a franchise record, earning a +191 scoring differential in 2025, and look to be building something for the long term.

Each season starts the team-building process anew. The Seahawks do have a unique situation; in immediately squaring off against an opponent they demoralized on the biggest stage. And they’ll raise a banner over their heads before the game is even played.

Looking forward to seeing if the Seattle Seahawks can continue to demand respect.
