Patriots vs. Seahawks Super Bowl 60 Odds

With the Super Bowl LX official matchup set — Seattle Seahawks vs New England Patriots — the betting market and prediction landscape has rapidly taken shape. Early lines from multiple sportsbooks reflect Seattle as the early favorite, but there’s more nuance than meets the eye.

Opening Odds: Seahawks Favored, But It’s Close

Bookmakers opened Seattle as the favorite in Super Bowl 60, a trend consistent across major sportsbooks:

Early Odds Snapshot

  • Spread: Seahawks −3.5 to −4.5

  • Moneyline: Seahawks around −230 to −240, Patriots around +185 to +198

  • Over/Under: 45.5–46.5 points

Why the Seahawks Are Favored

Several factors explain why Seattle leads the early market:

1. Strong Regular Season and Momentum

Seattle finished 14–3, topping the NFC with balance on both sides of the ball and cruising into Santa Clara.

2. Offensive Firepower vs. Physical Defense

Sam Darnold’s NFC title performance (346 yards, three TDs) shows Seattle can put points on the board even against quality defenses.

3. Defensive Cadence

Statistically, Seattle’s defense has one of the best run-stop profiles in football, with opponents gaining only around 34% success rate on designed runs — lowest in the NFL.

This blend of offensive balance and defensive sting helps explain why early lines favor the Seahawks by multiple points.

Why the Patriots Still Matter to Bettors

New England may be the underdog, but several factors keep them alive in markets and predictions:

  • Postseason Discipline: The Patriots’ 10–7 AFC Championship win was an exercise in ball control and mistake-free football.

  • Historical Super Bowl Success: Patriots have the most Super Bowl appearances of any franchise (12) and a proven track record in big games.

  • Dynamic Threats: Drake Maye’s mobility adds a wrinkle to an efficient, field-position heavy attack.

Underdogs in Super Bowls have historically covered spreads and even won outright more than once, adding value for those backing New England.

Prediction Trends: What Analysts Are Saying

Early leanings from prediction models and handicappers suggest:

  • Spread: Many analysts open with Seattle −4 to −5 as the more likely cover, given consistency on both sides of the ball.

  • Total Points: The consensus 46.5 O/U reflects belief this won’t be a defensive slog like the Patriots’ AFC title game — but not a runaway shootout either.

  • Moneyline: Betting on Seattle’s moneyline is common practice early, though Patriots value remains high for underdog bettors.

These trends highlight how public and sharp money is shaping the board — early betting behavior can move lines significantly in the weeks before Feb. 8.
