A year after being hailed as Titanic, Seahawks looking for smooth sailing in 2019

RENTON — This time, maybe the Titanic will avoid the iceberg and make a safe journey.

Seattle is a nine-and-a-half-point favorite against the visiting Bengals Sunday at CenturyLink Field, and have seen their Super Bowl odds consistently drop throughout the offseason, from as high as 35-1 in March to 20-1 as of the end of this week, via VegasInsider.
