Seattle Seahawks defeat the New England Patriots in the 2026 NFL season opener (Lumen Field, Seattle, 9 September 2026, confirmed by NFL.com or AP)
Probability
68%
The Seahawks host the Patriots as home team and defending Super Bowl LX champions at Lumen Field, Seattle. In Super Bowl LX, Seattle beat New England convincingly 29-13. Bookmaker odds imply a ~68% Seahawks win probability (moneyline -210, as of 10 August 2026, per legalsportsbetting.com), confirmed by the -3.5 to -4 point spread. Home advantage, defending champion status, and recent head-to-head all favor Seattle. The Patriots have structural weaknesses since key departures; this is the first Wednesday NFL opener since 2012. Probability: 68% (market-aligned).

Verdict: Hit
Die Seahawks besiegten die Patriots tatsächlich am 9. September 2026 in Lumen Field, Seattle, mit 13:10. Das Ergebnis bestätigt die Vorhersage klar. Die Partie war jedoch deutlich knapper als die Buchmacherquoten (-210, -3,5 bis -4 Punkte) angedeutet hatten: Seattle lag zunächst 0:10 hinten, siegte letztlich durch drei Drake-Maye-Interceptions im Schlussviertel (inkl. einer End-Zone-Interception mit 21 Sekunden Restspielzeit). Backup-QB Drew Lock (187 Passing-Yards, 1 TD) führte das Team nach der Verletzung von Sam Darnold. Quellen: ESPN (Seahawks 13–10 Patriots, Sep 9, 2026), NBC News, Yahoo Sports, Yardbarker.
