#KCvsSEA officiating crew cheat sheet
HOME teams are an
#NFL best 100-63-5 ATS (62%) w' referee John Hussey over the last decade
FAVORITES are 5-0 SU & 4-0-1 ATS w' Hussey in 2026
The
#Chiefs are 9-4 w' Hussey in the Mahomes era. However, the bulk of those games (9) were at Arrowhead Stadium
Of the four ROAD games, KC was just 1-3 w' Hussey, most recently their controversial Thanksgiving loss at Dallas in November, 2025
KC currently rank a top 10 penalized ROAD team & Seattle a top 10 penalized HOME team
Hussey's crew are a top five enforcer of FALSE STARTS
The
#Chiefs rank as the LEAST penalized team for FALSE START penalties
The
#Seahawks rank as a top 10 home team generating FALSE START & PRE-SNAP infractions on opposing offenses, continuing a trend dating back to the Legion of Boom era
The impact of the 12's has always contributed to elevated offensive pre-snap infractions on visiting teams but the Chiefs offense is better equipped than most to navigate the noise at Lumen Field
The Chiefs offense is one of the LEAST penalized in 2026, whereas the Seahawks avg almost DOUBLE the offensive penalties per game as KC
The departure of Klint Kubiak has has a major (negative) impact of this offense & inflated penalties in 2026 vs their excellent 2025 numbers are another example of that
KC & Seattle rank as top 10 penalized teams for UNNECESSARY ROUGHNESS. That penalty has been called at a higher rate in 2026 & particularly on PRIMETIME games
On the topic of discipline, Hussey's crew have called a disproportionately high percentage of TAUNTING & UNSPORTSMANLIKE CONDUCT penalties this decade , & both teams should take note Sunday night w' these guys in charge
Hussey's crew rank top 5 awarding AUTOMATIC 1st DOWNS via penalty, primarily via DEFENSIVE PASS INTERFERENCE & ILLEGAL CONTACT penalties , categories they rank second overall in per game
Those are some key points for this game
SNF gives us the Super Bowl champs vs an undefeated
@Chiefs who have reestablished themselves as the team to beat in 2026
The Kenneth Walker return adds additional intrigue to the match-up
It dosent get any better than this IMO.
Seattle needs this game like blood
I have major concerns about their offense but will give them the benefit of doubt they can fix some issues during the mini bye week & extra prep time
I like the under in this game & if Seattle doesn't get a win here thats 3 straight losses & the season begins to unravel
I lean to Seattle at home & we'll find out if this team still has the championship pedigree vs a Chiefs team thats been the standard for excellence this decade on
