It’s been four games of post-Russell Wilson football for the Seattle Seahawks, and thus far, he hasn’t been missed much at all.
Geno Smith has been one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL and the Seahawks are off to a 2-2 start following their 48-45 win over the Lions on Sunday.
Geno Smith is No. 6 in ESPN's Total QBR through four weeks; Russell Wilson is No. 21.

However, any optimism felt by the the 12s in Seattle has not filtered down to the oddsmakers.
The Seahawks’ odds of winning the NFC West – a division that could have four 2-2 teams if the 49ers beat the Rams on Monday night – remain at a longshot number of +2000, far behind the Rams (-110) and 49ers (+140) and still comfortably behind the Cardinals (+1000) at DraftKings.
The Seahawks began the year with a regular season win total over/under of 5.5, with the “over” the favorite at -140. Even though Seattle only needs four more victories to surpass it, the total has remained the same, and there are even -110 odds on each side.
The Seahawks have been a regular participant in the playoffs over the past decade but they are listed at +800 to make it this season.
