Super Bowl 60 is scheduled for Santa Clara, California on Sunday, February 8. The New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks are fighting for the Lombardi Trophy, and it should be a good one. Both teams combined for 14-3 records in the regular season before New England advanced with playoff wins over the Chargers, Texans and Broncos, while Seattle dominated the 49ers and Rams.
Let’s take a look at the game odds and my two favorite prop bets for Patriots vs. Seahawks.
Super Bowl 60 odds
Money line: Patriots +190 / Seahawks -230
Spread: Patriots +4.5 (-105) / Seahawks -4.5 (-115)
Total: Over 45.5 (-112) / Under 45.5 (-108)
Super Bowl prop betting: Sam Darnold Under 0.5 odds (+110)
The NFC Championship was the biggest game of Darnold’s professional career, and he had one of his best performances – completing 25 of 36 passes for 346 yards and three TDs without throwing an INT. The former No. 3 overall pick has been hitless in two playoff games and hasn’t had a pick since Week 17. Darnold has had no interceptions in six of his past 10 outings. The USC product threw 14 interceptions during the regular season, but most of those came in bunches (four against the Rams in Week 11, for example). However, now they don’t come at all. As for New England’s defense, it can be tough — but it also doesn’t hold much. Made just 10 INTs in the regular season while allowing 25 passing TDs.
Super Bowl prop bet: Drake Maye Over 30.5 pass attempts (-103)
This is a tough game considering the Patriots will be trailing. That’s what the odds suggest, as they are underdogs +4.5. And many seem to agree given how good the Seahawks look these days. If New England does, in fact, trail on the scoreboard much or all the way, Maye will have to pull it off. That’s what many of Seattle’s opponents have been forced to do. During the regular season, the Hawks had the fifth-most pass attempts (600). Some of this has to do with the fact that their run defense ranks third in the NFL and first in yards per carry allowed. For many reasons, teams have no choice but to pitch. Unsurprisingly, Rams QB Matthew Stafford had 35 attempts in the NFC Championship. Meanwhile, Maye’s pedestrian passing numbers so far in the playoffs can be overlooked due to the bad weather. During the regular season, the 2024 No. 3 total has exceeded this number of 30.5 in five of the last eight games. That stretch included games of 34, 35, and 44 passing attempts.
