Will the Seattle Seahawks return to the playoffs in their first year under head coach Mike Macdonald? Based on advanced metrics, the answer is about 50-50.
Earlier this month, Aaron Schatz’s FTN Football Almanac 2024 was released, and in the annual DVOA preseason projections, the Seahawks have a playoff probability of 48.2%, which is a little higher than the previous season when they did miss out. Their average win total would be about 9 wins, mimicking the previous two years under Geno Smith. It may seem like jogging in place, but it’s not that bad considering the roster turnover and new coaching staff.
