The Seattle Seahawks face the Chiefs on October 25 at Lumen Field as part of Week 7 of the 2026 NFL season. Kickoff is set for 5:20 p.m. PT. Here's what local and national media are predicting:
Mike Florio, NBC Sports: Seahawks 27, Chiefs 23
"If the Seahawks can play just a little cleaner, they can get back to where they were supposed to be."
Vic Tafur, The Athletic: Seahawks
"The Kenneth Walker III revenge game. Plus, Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes are 10-1-1 against the spread as road underdogs since 2017. But … have they ever gone against a defending Super Bowl champ … coming off a loss in which its nasty defense held the Broncos to 3 yards per play … and now face the running back who everyone says is the reason they won it all last season? Nope.
As for Sam Darnold, all seven of his interceptions have come with the Seahawks tied or trailing, so the solution seems fairly simple."
Pete Prisco, CBS Sports: Chiefs 23, Seahawks 17
"This is a revenge game for Chiefs running back Kenneth Walker, who was the Super Bowl MVP for Seattle last February. And let's not forget the Chiefs have Patrick Mahomes. Seattle is good on defense, but their offense is turning the ball over. That matters here. Chiefs take it."
Pamela Maldonado, EPSN: Chiefs 20, Seahawks 17
Eric Moody, EPSN: Seahawks 24, Chiefs 20
Seth Walder, EPSN: Seahawks 26, Chiefs 24
