tODAY~Seattle Seahawks vs Houston Texans 𝐋𝐢𝐯𝐞� 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺 Free NFL Football Game 2025
On Monday Night Football, the Texans (2-3) travel to face the Seahawks (4-2) in a crucial Week 7 matchup.
For Houston, after a rough 0-3 start they found life with back-to-back dominant wins (including a 44-10 road win) and now aim to build momentum.
Seattle, meanwhile, looks to assert home advantage and solidify itself in the NFC West with an upper‐hand in both record and expectation.
Injuries play a big part: Houston will be without wide receiver Christian Kirk (hamstring) which removes a key target in their passing game.
nwhile Seattle is missing two important defensive backs — Devon Witherspoon (knee) and Julian Love (hamstring) — both ruled out.
Odds and analytics leaned slightly toward Seattle, the spread around 3 points in their favor, with the over/under in the low 40s.
What to Watch / Key Matchups
1. Houston’s run defence vs. Seattle’s ground game
Houston’s run defence has been strong, allowing among the lowest rushing yards per game in the league.
That sets up an interesting chess match against Seattle’s backs: the likes of Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnet could be tilted into favourable situations if Seattle leans into the ground.
2. Houston’s passing attack without Christian Kirk
With Kirk out, Houston’s passing depth will be tested. It will be key for quarterback C.J. Stroud and his receivers to step up, especially against Seattle’s secondary (even if banged up). A depleted receiving corps could hamper Houston’s ability to stretch the field.
3. Seattle’s secondary and how Houston attacks it
Even though Seattle is missing key players in the secondary, they still have depth and the home crowd edge. Houston’s ability to exploit that vulnerability—through intermediate routes, play-action, and quick throws—could swing momentum.
4. Turnovers and field position
In primetime matchups, mistakes matter. With both teams having some roster weaknesses (injuries, personnel shifts), the battle for control through turnovers, special teams and rooting out mistakes will likely decide this contest.
Prediction / Narrative
Coming off their bye, the Texans have regained confidence and appear more competitive than at the season’s start. Their defence—especially against the run—is a foundation. But as they move into Seattle’s building (Lumen Field) in a primetime slot, the challenge ramps up: Seattle at home with a record 4-2 and a crowd behind them presents a tough task.
Seattle’s offence has shown good yardage and efficiency this season, and despite the absence of Witherspoon and Love, they still carry enough talent and home-field momentum to get the job done. The analytics slightly favour Seattle (~52 %) in the matchup.

+1
However, Houston is not without punch—they could keep it competitive and if their offence finds rhythm early it could become a different game. But leaning with the safer pick: Seattle edges this one out thanks to the home situation and marginal edge in roster stability.
Projected outcome: Seahawks win by 3–7 points, final score something like 24-17 or 27-20.
Implications
For Houston: A win here would be a strong statement—turning around a slow start and giving them breathing room in the AFC South. A loss would risk falling behind in the division and dampening their momentum.
For Seattle: A win solidifies their standing in the NFC West, gives confidence heading into their bye, and strengthens their home reputation. A loss would raise questions about consistency, especially at home.
