Seahawks Surge to Favorites After Major Shift in Colts Quarterback Situation

With the Colts reeling and Daniel Jones sidelined, the red-hot Seahawks enter their final home game poised as heavy favorites in a pivotal Week 15 clash.

The Seahawks are rolling-and they're coming home with momentum to burn.

After dismantling the Falcons 37-9 with a second-half explosion that saw them outscore Atlanta 31-3, Seattle is sitting pretty at 10-3. That’s back-to-back blowout wins, with a combined margin of 63-9. In December, that’s not just impressive-it’s a statement.

Now comes the final Sunday home game of the 2025 regular season at Lumen Field, and the Seahawks are set to host the Indianapolis Colts. A month ago, this one circled the calendar as a potential playoff preview. But a lot can change in the NFL in four weeks-and for the Colts, it certainly has.

Indianapolis rolls into town at 8-5, but their recent form tells a different story. After a 7-1 start that had them leading the AFC South, the wheels have started to come off. They’ve dropped four of their last five, including a 36-19 loss to the Jaguars that exposed some serious cracks in the foundation.

The biggest blow? Starting quarterback Daniel Jones is out-again.

Already battling a broken leg, Jones suffered an Achilles injury against Jacksonville, leaving the Colts to turn to rookie Riley Leonard. It's a tough ask for any young quarterback, let alone one making a road start in Seattle’s notoriously loud home environment.

And the Seahawks defense? They’ve been feasting lately.

This will be the third straight game they face a backup quarterback, and they’ve made the most of those matchups so far.

Seattle enters as a 10.5-point favorite, according to FanDuel Sportsbook-the second straight week they’ve been favored by multiple scores. And it’s not hard to see why. The defense is swarming, the offense is clicking, and they’re playing with the kind of confidence you want to see from a team eyeing a deep playoff run.

But don’t count out the Colts just yet. They still have Jonathan Taylor, and he’s been one of the few bright spots during their recent slide.

Taylor’s having a standout season and remains a legitimate threat to break a game open. If Indianapolis is going to have any shot at pulling off the upset, it starts with getting Taylor going early-and often.

For Seattle, the mission is simple: keep the foot on the gas. With the NFC playoff picture tightening and home-field advantage still in play, there’s no room for letdowns. The Seahawks have found their rhythm on both sides of the ball, and now they’ve got a chance to give their fans one last regular-season show at Lumen Field.

A rookie quarterback in a hostile environment. A red-hot defense licking its chops.

And a team that’s peaking at the right time. Sunday’s setting up to be another big moment in what’s shaping up to be a special season in Seattle.
