Sunday will highlight two teams that weren't popular among oddsmakers to make the biggest stage. The Patriots were priced at +8000 odds to win Super Bowl LX prior to the season, and the Seahawks at +6000 odds. While neither team was an early Super Bowl favorite, Seattle will once again face New England. In a rematch of Super Bowl 49, these two teams will battle it out in sunny California.
Named top dogs of the AFC East, the Patriots finished with a 14-3 record, and head coach Mike Vrabel shifted the culture in his first season. Similarly, the Seahawks were crowned the top seed in the NFC following a 14-3 record.
New England has arguably had the most challenging road to Super Bowl LX. First defeating the Los Angeles Chargers in the Wild Card round, New England advanced to defeat the Houston Texans and Denver Broncos. Even through high winds and snowy conditions, the Patriots overcame three of the NFL's top defenses.
The road hasn't been easy for Seattle. After defeating the San Francisco 49ers in the final game of the regular season, Seattle faced them in the playoffs. This time, prevailing over them once again, 41-6. From there, they barely edged out the LA Rams in the NFC Championship game, 31–7.
Super Bowl LX is so much more than two teams. It's the story of two unlikely quarterbacks, who are set to match up on the world's biggest stage. It's somewhat of a feel-good story for Sam Darnold, who couldn't find his rhythm after being drafted third overall in 2018 by the New York Jets. After admitting to "seeing ghosts," Darnold's career was all but over after stints with the Carolina Panthers and San Francisco 49ers.
Starting all 17 games for the Minnesota Vikings last season, Darnold bet on himself and earned a payday with Seattle as a free agent.
The jury was still out for Drake Maye, who was selected third overall by the Patriots in 2024. New England hasn't seen a Super Bowl appearance since Tom Brady's departure and has failed to find a quarterback in Mac Jones. Maye impressed in his first season, although the Patriots tallied just four wins.
That was until New England hired its new head coach, Mike Vrabel, in the offseason. All it took was a newly minted culture and a coach to unlock Maye's potential. Finishing one vote shy of the NFL's MVP award, Maye put up monstrous numbers.
Featuring a top Seattle defense vs. a potent Patriots offense, oddsmakers tabbed Seattle as slim 4.5-point spread favorites. Opening as a favorite by 3.5 points, the market hasn't moved much. With the over/under set for 45.5 points, sportsbooks are predicting a moderate scoring matchup.
If you plan to bet on Super Bowl LX, welcome!
The clash between Seattle and New England will kick off at 6:30 p.m. ET at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California. For those who wish to watch, the big game will be broadcast on NBC/Peacock. Performing the halftime show is Bad Bunny, while Charlie Puth will sing the U.S. National Anthem.
Let's take a look at my three best bets, player prop picks, and predictions for Super Bowl LX on Sunday, Feb. 8. I've placed all of my bets within FanDuel, Fanatics, and DraftKings Sportsbooks.

BEST ODDS FOR SEATTLE SEAHAWKS VS NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS
My best bets for Super Bowl Sunday include player props for Patriots quarterback Drake Maye. Placing one unit on each, I'm taking Maye to rush for over 35.5 yards and to throw an interception.
In 17 regular-season NFL games, bettors saw Maye rush for 450 yards and four touchdowns. Against the Denver Broncos for the AFC Championship, Maye ran for 65 yards on 10 carries. Yes, it was a snowy game, so he learned to adjust.
What makes Maye so lethal is his ability to move the chains with his legs. Rushing for 60+ yards in two of three playoff games, we also saw the Patriots quarterback tally 66 rushing yards on 10 carries in the Wild Card round against the LA Chargers.
Despite boasting the best defense in football, the Seahawks ran a 21.7% blitz rate. If they do increase that Sunday, Maye performed the best against the blitz this season, averaging a 128.5 passer rating.
If Maye and the Patriots want to win it all, I expect him to use his legs once again. That's especially since DeMarcus Lawrence is on the other side. Having averaged 26.5 rushing yards per game in the regular season, Maye is running for an average of 47 yards per game and eight carries in three playoff games.
Whether it's pressure or designed runs, we've seen Maye score touchdowns and some pretty hefty runs for him. Let's put it this way: Seattle ranks first in defensive rush DVOA, and we've seen decreased production by rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson. Given Seattle allows just under 200 passing yards per game, the run game, along with defense, will matter.
I like that Seattle ranks in the middle when it comes to quarterback rushing yards. While Matthew Stafford isn't widely regarded as a mobile quarterback, he finished with 16 last week. Against the 49ers, Brock Purdy rushed for 37 yards. While just four quarterbacks rushed for over 35.5 yards against Seattle this season, the Seahawks allowed an average QB rush of 18.1 yards per game.
I also like Drake Maye to throw an interception for -120 odds in Super Bowl LX.
Seattle forced interceptions against every opposing quarterback last week, except Matthew Stafford. We've seen Brock Purdy throw back-to-back interceptions in both the final game of the season and in the divisional round. In addition, this is a defense that forced three interceptions in four games, and 10 over the last eight games.
Maye is a quarterback who finished with 31 passing touchdowns and just eight interceptions. I understand the touchdown-to-interception ratio is exceptional. That said, Maye has struggled in the playoffs. Throwing an interception against the Chargers and Texans, he did so against top defensive units.
Given Seattle boasts the top run defense, I'm expecting Maye to throw the ball. And with the big plays come the occasional interceptions. This is a high probability, given he's set to face Devon Witherspoon, Julian Love, and Nick Emmanwori, among other Seattle defenders.
As great as Maye has been, he's thrown an interception in three of the last four games dating back to the regular season.
I have Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins to score a touchdown, and I'm also betting on him to record a 15+ yard longest reception.
While this isn't the most popular pick, I'm high on this for several reasons. While this is Hollins's first Super Bowl appearance, he's built for the moment. How many players show up to a stadium barefoot and shirtless?
Put that aside, Hollins has been a viable down-the-field threat for Maye when healthy. Averaging a longest reception of nearly 16 yards this season, we've seen Hollins make the big plays. Specifically, he caught a 54-yard pass against the Buccaneers in early November.
While more than capable of recording 100+ yardage, Hollins is the type of player who makes a big impact. While recording just two receptions and 51 yards, Hollins torched the Broncos' secondary for a 31-yard grab in the snow. I'm expecting this, given that all eyes should be on receivers Stefon Diggs, Kayshon Boutte, and tight end Hunter Henry.
As mentioned in my previous article, Hollins has a decent matchup with Josh Jobe and should see some significant looks from Maye. Sometimes Super Bowls produce unlikely heroes—will it be Hollins?
I do think the books are sleeping on this line, especially since Hollins crushed this player prop line in three straight games, and nine total this season and through the playoffs.
This Seattle defense was elite all season long, but we just watched Puka Nacua tear them apart for 165 receiving yards, along with a 44-yard-longest reception. Dating back to September 2025, 16 wide receivers have hauled in a longest reception over 15 yards.
I'm laying the points with the Seahawks to cover the 4.5-point spread against the Patriots.
I wanted to, and should have, grabbed this line when Seattle opened as 3.5-point spread favorites. Both teams have been exceptional against the spread. Through 20 games, New England boasts a 14-6 ATS record, and through 19 games, the Seahawks hold a 14-5 ATS.
There's no question that New England is the team of the future and found its perfect coach-quarterback connection with Maye and Vrabel. And I knew this team was for real when they defeated the Buffalo Bills in Orchard Park. That said, they have every reason to be here, believe it or not.
Neither quarterback has played in a Super Bowl, although Darnold was a backup of the 49ers' Super Bowl run. As much as I believe in Drake Maye long-term, this matchup favors Seattle. Sure, defeating the Chargers, Texans, and Broncos is no easy feat. Not to mention doing so in snowy conditions on the road.
I firmly believe New England has yet to face a team like the Seahawks, one that ranks atop the standings, thanks to Mike Macdonald's defensive play-calling.
If the Patriots are going to win this, it will come down to defense and coaching. Otherwise, they've struggled greatly, putting up 10 and 16 points against the Broncos and Chargers. We know how potent both defenses can be, especially since Seattle torched the 49ers 41–6 and has scored 71 points over the last two games.
As casual as this sounds, Seattle is the superior team top to bottom, one with an NFL-best +191 point differential. Darnold does have more NFL experience, and I don't think this will be a back-and-forth shootout like it was with LA. Overall, this is a Seattle team that can beat you in several ways: through the pass, the run game, and on defense.
