Seattle looks like the stronger side heading into Super Bowl LX: elite defense, hot offense and explosive special teams give them the edge. Punters might lean toward Seattle on the spread or target the under if they expect a defensive battle; consider Seahawks defensive sack props and Seattle receiver receiving props as high-value plays.
Super Bowl LX Preview: Seahawks vs. Patriots
The Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots meet in Super Bowl LX with momentum and matchup narratives favoring Seattle. Expectations center on a dominant Seattle defense, a red-hot offense and a special-teams unit capable of game-changing plays. New England arrives well-coached and fundamentally sound, but questions about offensive consistency place them on the back foot entering the title game.
Why Seattle holds the edge
Seattle’s defense is widely regarded as the superior unit in the matchup, able to dictate tempo and force turnovers. The offense has heated up late in the season, and special teams offer a weapon for sudden shifts in field position or scoring. A long winning streak has bolstered confidence; unless Seattle’s offense collapses, they appear positioned to control the contest.
Patriots’ strengths and vulnerabilities
New England is disciplined, with a talented defense and excellent coaching that keeps them competitive in any game plan. Concerns center on offensive rhythm and the young quarterback’s ability to handle Seattle’s pressure. If the Patriots can sustain drives and avoid negative plays, they can keep the game close; otherwise, Seattle’s multifaceted attack should prove decisive.
Game-flow scenarios and key moments
One plausible script has Seattle jumping to an early lead—forcing the Patriots to play from behind and adjust. A slower second quarter for Seattle could allow New England to trim the deficit before halftime. Individual impact plays—sacks, explosive returns, and third-down conversions—will likely determine the margin. Expect heavy defensive involvement and situational football late in the game.
Betting implications and strategy
With Seattle favored by matchup and momentum, bettors should consider the Seahawks on the spread or moneyline, depending on posted odds. The defensive outlook suggests value on the under if oddsmakers set a conservative total. Player props worth exploring include Seahawks receivers’ targets/receptions and defensive sack markets against the Patriots’ offensive line.
Players to watch
Sam Darnold — Poised to impact the passing game with opportunities to hit multiple receivers in critical moments. Drake Maye — Will need a clean pocket and quick reads to keep New England competitive. Demarcus Lawrence — A disruptive presence who could rack up sacks and tackles for loss. Seattle special teams unit — Capable of flipping field position or producing a scoring play that shifts momentum.
