Sam Darnold Best Parlay Picks For Super Bowl LX: Seahawks vs. Patriots

The time is here again for the Big Game, the culmination of the National Football League season. Don't shake your head and rub your eyes: yes that's the Patriots in the Super Bowl again.

This time the Pats have a different head coach and quarterback than the last time they were here. But this time again, they face the Seahawks, just as the Patriots did in Super Bowl XLIX back in 2015.

The BMITH (Big Man in the Huddle) for Seattle is Sam Darnold, a formerly maligned QB who has sufficiently shut up his critics. Darnold has a chance to win a Super Bowl in his first season with the Seahawks.

In this betting guide I make a parlay picks for Darnold for the Super Bowl. Whether you have money in a Super Bowl Squares contest at your party or not, you may want to consider plopping down even a fiver on this three-leg parlay.

3-Leg Parlay Picks for Sam Darnold In Super Bowl LX: +397 Odds (FanDuel)

Who knows what the Seahawks will do offensively against the "No Name" defense of the Patriots? It seems likely they will want to control the game, and of course minimize risk.

Much has bene said about New England wanting to shorten the game by manufacturing long drives and tamping down the score. But, I believe the Seahawks can play that conservative game too. That starts by running the ball and avoiding mistakes in the Santa Clara air.

Think about Sam Darnold's recent big passing days when deciding on best bets

Consider this: in each of the last five games where Sam Darnold has attempted 30+ passes, he has thrown at least one interception. It makes sense that Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak (in his final effort for Seattle before going off to be the head coach of the Raiders) will slow the tempo, and pound the ball on the ground.

That isn't to say Darnold won't get his chances to find Cooper Kupp or Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the end zone. When the Hawks are in the red zone, I expect Darnold will have chances to aim for the big, trusty hands of the best receivers in this game.

• Sam Darnold 2+ Passing Touchdowns
• Sam Darnold 200+ Passing Yards
• Sam Darnold 10+ Yards Rushing

Rushing yards pick for Sam Darnold should pique your interest in Super Bowl LX

Only three times this season has Darnold attempted as many as four rushes in a game. Michael Vick he is not. Still, when I found those favorable odds for 10+ yards (FanDuel +154 for that prop bet) I didn't just wrap my arms around them, I tucked them inside a three-leg parlay, like tomatoes in a taco. All we need is a clutch third down run for a first down by Darnold (maybe twice) and we should get those 10 yards. The other two bets seem very likely.

A winning $100 wager on this Darnold Parlay for Super Bowl 60 would pay out $397. That's more than enough to get a jersey of your favorite NFL team, with money left over for a cheeseburger or two.
