Are The Seattle Seahawks Getting Overlooked In 2020 Odds?

• The Seahawks have +2200 odds of winning Super Bowl 55 but there may be reasons to favor the team higher.
• The team could beat the 49ers out for the NFC West title, especially if the 49ers suffer from the seemingly inevitable Super Bowl Hangover
• Russel Wilson has the fifth shortest odds to win the 2020 Regular Season MVP

SEATTLE - The 2020 season is quickly approaching and many oddsmakers may be underestimating the success that the Seattle Seahawks could have this year.

For a team with their recent history, the Seahawks have found themselves with low expectations this season.

The Seattle Seahawks have been the most consistent team in the NFC for the past 10 years and the Pete Carroll Era.

The team has been to the playoff eight out of 10 seasons, played in the two Super Bowls, and are six years removed from winning the franchise’s first Lombardi trophy.

Even with a good history, online sportsbooks still have them as a long shot for Super Bowl 55 odds.

Betting on the Super Bowl can be very tough but with a low chance to win the title, the Seahawks may be the perfect team to defy the odds.

The road back to the Super Bowl for the Seahawks may be way easier than most may think. The 2020 NFC West teams could create a perfect opportunity for the Seahawks to take over.

The Los Angeles Rams have lost most of their weapons and the Arizona Cardinals do not look to be putting all the pieces together to be a productive team this year.

The odds have the Seahawks right behind to the San Francisco 49ers for the division title.

The reigning NFC Champions obviously would be the one obstacle to Seattle but history has shown many teams, especially NFC teams, have dealt with the dreaded Super Bowl loser hangover the next year.

Last year, the Seahawks could have beat the 49ers for the No. 1 seed in the NFC if they won just a couple more games toward the end of the season. There were two key injuries to running backs Chris Carson and Rashaad Penny late in the season that may have affected the team’s win total.

The Seahawks have a great chance of winning more than nine games for this upcoming season.

Not only should the team have a pretty easy division schedule, but they have talent on the roster including the most important player on the team.

QB Russell Wilson has been a top player in the league since he’s started and even has short odds to win the NFL MVP.

Last year, Wilson finished the season with 31 TDs for 4,110 yards and five INTs.

Going into his ninth year in the league, the QB has been selected for the Pro Bowl seven times. This season’s Seahawks roster and talent may put them in a good position to be an underdog investment for NFL bettors.
