It’s a battle between air and land in the Emerald City to close Week 7.
Normally, there is no place like home for the Seattle Seahawks. However, in 2025, the home cooking has been far from edible. Mike Macdonald’s 4-2 team owns a 1-2 record at Lumen Field and now they face another test against an unfamiliar foe – the Houston Texans.
Monday night will be just the sixth all-time matchup and the first since 2021 between the two sides, with Seattle winning four of the previous five.
Seattle is trying to keep pace in the NFC West race, but the Texans are trying to get back into the AFC South’s after an uneven start to the year. The Texans are certainly well-rested coming into ‘Monday Night Football,’ coming off a bye in Week 6.
Houston appeared to finally figure out their problems on offense before the vacation, winning their last two games by a combined score of 70-10. Now they’ll look to pick up where they left off heading into Monday’s matchup.
C.J. Stroud and co. have some work to do if they want to get back into the AFC South division race, setting up an important showdown in Seattle against the Seahawks’ dynamic duo Sam Darnold and Jaxon Smith-Njigba.

Seahawks vs. Texans prediction
The Texans appeared to find something before their bye week and are set to enter some unfriendly confines on Monday night – or are they?

They are fresh off another trip to the east coast and now have to contend with a Texans team that is determined to shake off an uneven start to the season. Underdogs have printing money in prime time lately and Houston had plenty of time to get ready for this contest. It may not be glamorous, but the Texans get the job done in Seattle.
