Kansas City visits Seattle at Lumen Field on Sunday, Oct. 25, 2026, with the Seahawks listed as favourites in the latest market lines.
The Story
The undefeated Kansas City Chiefs (5-0) visit the Seattle Seahawks (3-3) on Sunday Night Football at Lumen Field, where Seahawks fans will see Kenneth Walker leading his former team into a Week 7 matchup scheduled for Oct. 25, 2026 at 8:20 p.m. ET.
The betting market lists Seattle at -142 on the moneyline and -2.5 (at -110) on the spread, with the total set at 42.5. The spread opened with Seattle at -3, and the total has moved from 45.5 down to 42.5 in the update cited.
The Seahawks have lost two straight since defeats to the 49ers (32-29) and Broncos (17-14 OT), and they also dropped a one-score game to Washington by two points (33-31). Kansas City has won nine of 13 games in which it was an underdog since 2021, according to the same betting-oriented summary.
Kansas City enters the matchup coming off a 22-6 win over the Chargers. Patrick Mahomes did not throw a touchdown for the first time this season in that game, though he completed 23 of 30 passes for 272 yards and an interception. The recap also notes Mahomes has a 9:3 touchdown-to-interception ratio this season.
Walker, meanwhile, is coming off a performance described as another “monster game” against the Chargers in which he rushed for 128 yards and two touchdowns on 19 carries. The summary also says Walker set an NFL record for rushing yards through five games with a new team at 665, after which the Seahawks defence will look to limit him at Lumen Field.
On the Seahawks side, quarterback Sam Darnold is coming off his worst game of the year—a 17-14 overtime loss to the Broncos—where he finished with 278 yards on 27-of-51 passing and recorded zero touchdowns with two interceptions. The update lists Darnold as having seven touchdown passes and seven interceptions this season, with a 60.4% completion percentage.
Zach Charbonnet, Seattle’s running back, is listed as questionable with an ACL, and the betting summary frames a possible return as timely for Darnold. It also notes Seattle has been struggling to run the ball, ranking 18th in rushing yards per game (107.2) and tied for 13th with 27.5 rushing attempts per game.
A separate injury update included in the same material lists the following: for Seattle, Jadarian Price is on injured reserve (chest), Elijah Arroyo (shoulder) is out, Bud Clark (ankle) is out, and Anthony Bradford (knee), Drake Thomas (ankle), and Zach Charbonnet (ACL) are questionable. For Kansas City, Rashee Rice (hamstring) is questionable, while Josh Simmons (back) and Jaylon Moore (concussion) are also questionable.
In a quoted betting pick included with the matchup preview, NBC Sports’ Vaughn Dalzell said: “Kenneth Walker will make his return to Seattle and if there’s one team that can slow down KW3, it’s the Seahawks. … His rushing prop is set at 87.5 and I expect that to climb past 90 yards…so it’ll be a sweaty Under bet, but I’ll be fading Walker on Sunday Night Football.”
