Super Bowl 60 Preview

Super Bowl 60 Betting Preview

The stage is set for a historic rematch at Levi’s Stadium as the Seattle Seahawks (-5.0) face the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX. While this is a new era for both franchises, the ghosts of their legendary 2015 encounter (Super Bowl XLIX) loom large over this matchup.

The Odds & Key Matchups

Seattle enters as the favorite, bolstered by an explosive offense led by Sam Darnold and a rejuvenated "Legion of Boom" 2.0. However, the Patriots have been a bettor’s dream on the road, going 9-0 straight up and 7-2 ATS away from Foxborough this season.

Sam Darnold vs. The Patriots Secondary

Darnold has been clinical, but he faces a New England defense that just suffocated Denver in a 10-7 AFC Championship slugfest. Watch for Christian Gonzalez shadowing Jaxon Smith-Njigba to disrupt Seattle's rhythm.

Drake Maye’s Mobility

Maye’s ability to extend plays with his legs will be tested by Seattle’s relentless front seven. If the Seahawks can contain the edges, New England’s low-volume passing attack may struggle to keep pace.

History: The 2015 Connection

Bettors with long memories will recall their prior Super Bowl meeting on February 1, 2015. In one of the most dramatic finishes in NFL history, the Patriots snatched a 28-24 victory after Malcolm Butler’s iconic goal-line interception.

That 2015 game saw the Patriots cover as 1-point favorites. In 2026, the roles are reversed. Seattle is the chalk, and New England is the gritty underdog looking to prove that defense still wins championships, even a decade later.

The Play

Given New England’s historic road resilience and Mike Vrabel’s defensive scheme, taking the Patriots +5.0 feels like the value play in what should be a tight, possession-based battle.
