2025 – RD 16: New England Free Jacks v Seattle Seawolves

37 v 30

Report

For the second time in 2025, we get a rematch of the 2024 Championship Game as the New England Free Jacks host the Seattle Seawolves in a cross-conference clash! The Seattle Seawolves are enjoying a 3-game win streak (and 4 games undefeated) and are coming off of a low scoring victory over the Houston SaberCats to keep their playoff push alive. The Free Jacks have long since clinched their spot in the post season, but a win would get them closer to home field advantage. It would also snap their two-game skid!

These teams have met 7 times in the past, with the regular season series split 3-3, but the Free Jacks taking the edge with their victory in the 2024 Championship Game. Their most recent meeting was a 27-24 Seawolves victory in Seattle.
