Week 2 — vs San Francisco 49ers, Sunday Sept. 17th 1:25PT, FOX

We don’t know what to expect from San Francisco, whopoached a few Seahawks players this offseason, other than a generally bad football team. The 49ers have completely reset themselves after firing their head coach and General Manager. For the home opener at CenturyLink Field, especially after getting revenge on the Packers in Week 1, the Seahawks will easily take care of their NFC West little brother.

Final Score: Seahawks 31, 49ers 10 (2-0, Division: 1-0)

Week 3 — at Tennessee Titans, Sunday Sept. 24th 1:05PT, FOX

Tennessee should be improved after missing the playoffs last season. In fact, they could very well take the AFC South division this year. With ex-Duck quarterbackMarcus Mariotaimproving even more, they could give the Seahawks trouble in front of their fans.

The Titans were about league-average on both sides of the ball except for stopping the run on defense and running the ball on offense. They gained 136 rushing yards a game last year withDeMarco Murraygaining 1287 yards and scoring nine touchdowns in 2016. Normally, teams that rely on the running game to protect their quarterback don’t fare well against Seattle. Opponents usually can’t be one-dimensional against the Seahawks in the Pete Carroll, Legion of Boom era.

The X-Factor in this game will be Mariota for the Titans. If he can make plays against the tough Seahawks secondary, he should keep Tennessee in the game. He only threw nine interceptions last season and completed a solid but unspectacular 61 percent of his passes in 2016.

If new running backEddie Lacyand the Seahawks can find a few running lanes against a stout Titans defense, which added Defensive TackleSylvester Williamsthis offseason, they’ll scratch out a victory. It will be a close game, but I bet on Wilson and company finding enough room in Tennessee’s weak secondary to pull this road game out.

Final Score: Seahawks 23, Titans 17 (3-0, Div: 1-0)
