under coach Mike Macdonald on September 8 against the Broncos, quarterback Geno Smith and the Seahawks will spend a ton of time at home in the first half of the season before enduring a tougher final two months with three NFC West road games on the docket. Still a big ratings draw, they are slated to play four prime time games with two of them coming at Lumen Field and two on the road.
Geno Smith will look to continue his mastery of the Lions when the Seahawks hit the road for a Monday Night game in Detroit in Week 4. / Lon Horwedel-USA TODAY Sports While the Seahawks should be excited about the opportunity to start strong with several games in front of their home fans, that won't be the case in the final eight weeks and the level of competition will be ramped up. Starting with a road rematch against the 49ers in Week 11, five of their final eight games will be on the road, including all three of their NFC West road games and a trip to East Rutherford to deal with a healthy Aaron Rodgers and the Jets. That's far from ideal.
4. Unlike a year ago, the Seahawks have an ideal bye week and won't have to worry about playing on holidays or back-to-back Thursday nights. Luckily for Seattle, however, Macdonald's team didn't receive a similar raw deal this season. Scheduled for their bye in Week 10, the week off comes at the perfect time right before a physical road rematch against San Francisco, allowing a refresh before the aforementioned eight game gauntlet to close out the season.
