Seattle Seahawks vs New England Patriots 
Betting Odds, Picks, and Predictions for Super Bowl LX
Here we are! We've made it to the last and biggest game of the season between, not one, but two teams nobody had here to start the year. Two teams -- Seahawks vs Patriots -- with odds longer than 60/1 to make it to Super Bowl 60 before the season.
Seattle and Sam Darnold? Sure, that's a nice defense with an emerging play-maker at WR, and Darnold is probably a step up from Geno Smith. That will probably keep the Seahawks competitive in the tough NFC West. But, the Niners and Rams are loaded, so .500 would be a successful season.
New England and Drake Maye? Sure, the kid has tools, but eesh, his weapons are iffy at best and while Mike Vrabel was a sure-fire hire and upgrade, it will take some time to rebuild a truly horrendous roster. Plus, the Bills still own the AFC East, the Dolphins have all that talent, and the Jets will be better, right? After back-to-back four-win seasons, anything towards .500 would be a fantastic step in New England's rebuilding project.
Well, Darnold was awesome, JSN is a ninja, every Niner EXCEPT McCaffrey was injured, the Rams faded, Maye has talent, Vrabel is the man, Josh Allen failed at playing all 22 positions for Buffalo, the Dolphins imploded, and the Jets were.....the Jets. And here we are, on the game's biggest stage, the two teams that made it through this crazy season and me, your favorite handicapper who has not lost an NFL pick on these pages in 2026.

When this matchup was established two Sundays ago, I set my personal line at 5.5, meaning that's where I thought it would land after the public got their hands on it. It opened at 3.5 and jumped to 4.5 almost immediately and has stayed there since. It hasn't gotten to 5.5, but I would not be surprised if the late money from the public (remember, an estimated 90% of all money bet on the Super Bowl comes in on the weekend) pushes this to 5. I have heard very few talking heads (read: shepherds to the public sheep) giving the Pats a chance, so if you like that side, I suggest waiting as long as you possibly can to see if the number does indeed move at your book. Currently at 4.5, 63% of bets and 60% of the money is on Seattle at the best sports betting apps. Those numbers will only get higher as the game draws closer.
The total opened at 46.5 on 1/25 and was steadily bet down to 45.5 overnight. Since Monday, 1/26, it has stayed at 45.5 with 71% of bets and 62% of the money on the over. Like favorites, the general public likes overs, and this is THE largest public sporting event of the year. If you like the over, I'd grab it now. If you like the under, I'd wait for as long as possible in the event the public bets it up. The weather for Sunday looks perfect with temps in the mid-to-upper 50s, no rain, and very little wind. Unlike most of the playoffs, the elements won't be a factor in this one.

Super Bowl LX: Seahawks vs Patriots Betting Picks
It all comes down to this! I will be honest, my opinion on both of these teams was not high all year and I'm STILL unsure how good they really are. New England hasn't played anyone with a legit offense since Buffalo in mid-December, and their run through the playoffs was incredibly favorable. My cousin and I played right and left tackle for the Chargers. The Texans offense was bad enough without C.J. Stroud completely forgetting how to play QB. And Denver was very limited with a nomad QB and the elements. Seattle's two-game run has been odd, getting the corpse of San Francisco and then a Rams team on their third straight road game.
Here's what I do know: New England has the better coach and the better QB and, often, that's all you need. The Patriot defense is every bit as good as Seattle's, and their run game is healthier. I believe both coaches will scheme their defenses to stop the ground attacks and force the QBs to beat them. However, I don't think that will stop either coach from leaning on their run game to take the pressure off their inexperienced QBs.
To me, that means a very slow and conservative start to the game. So while I like the Patriots to cover and the under for the overall total, my favorite bet for Super Bowl LX is the under for the first half. As with my advice above, I would check your favorite books and wait as long as possible because I can almost guarantee the only direction the public money will push them is up. As of this moment, I see 21.5 at -108 at DraftKings while I see 23.5 at -140 at FanDuel. I'd rather pay the extra juice and get those two extra points, so my official Best Bet for Super Bowl LX is First Half Total UNDER 23.5.
