Seahawks vs. Patriots Betting Pick for Super Bowl LX Rematch

The Seattle Seahawks will take on the New England Patriots in a Super Bowl LX rematch. 

The Seahawks soundly defeated the Patriots 29-13 in February. Seattle will host New England on Wednesday night, kicking off the NFL season earlier than in years past.

The Seahawks featured the best offense in the NFL in 2025, averaging a league-high 0.485 points per play. That number increased to a ridiculous 0.542 PPP at home. Overall, they averaged a healthy 31.7 points per game in Seattle.

The Patriots were also a high-end offense, ranking eighth in points per play (0.427). Surprisingly, that number increased to 0.438 on the road. They also averaged 27.1 points per game outside of New England.

NFL Game 1 Picks

There are two keys to the offenses here. First, Seattle returned most of its offense from 2025. Kenneth Walker left in free agency, but they spent a first-round pick on Jadarian Price as his replacement. They return Sam Darnold and their receiving corps, led by Jaxon Smith-Njigba.

On the other side, New England made a few key moves to improve their offense. They added A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs to the wide receiver room, replacing Stefon Diggs. They also added Alijah Vera-Tucker to anchor their interior offensive line.

Arguably the biggest edge for the over in this game is the injuries both sides are dealing with. TreVeyon Henderson hasn’t practiced this week, but he traveled with the team. If he’s able to suit up, he’ll add some explosion to the Patriots offense, but he likely wasn’t going to have an elite role, regardless.

New England had only two players with more than 4.0 sacks in 2025. Neither will play in this game for them.

K’Lavon Chaisson signed with the Washington Commanders in free agency, while Harold Landry has already been ruled out with a knee injury. That’s going to be a major blow to their pass rush.

On the other side, Ty Okada isn’t expected to suit up for this game, leaving Nick Emmanwori to start at safety. He’s also been banged up, though, and Seattle has virtually no depth behind them. Their secondary already took a hit in free agency with Riq Woolen and Coby Bryant leaving, and they’ll be even thinner now.

Ultimately, this is a spot where the offenses haven’t gotten much worse, and New England likely got better. Their defenses took some hits, though, and they’re the more questionable areas at this point.
