Key Storylines
Seattle survived a wild NFC Championship Game against the rival Los Angeles Rams to reach Super Bowl LX. Sam Darnold held up well under the pressure of the playoffs, shedding his reputation from previous postseason struggles. Now the Seahawks are one win away from securing their first championship since they won Super Bowl XLVIII over the Denver Broncos. Seattle’s defense struggled relative to its usual standards against the Rams and will try to get back on track against the Patriots with the title on the line.
The New England Patriots won ugly in the AFC Championship Game, defeating the Denver Broncos 10-7 in a game where snow derailed both offenses in the second half. The Patriots struggled to move the ball in that game, with Drake Maye failing to reach 100 passing yards and the Pats gaining just over 200 total yards on offense. But they won the turnover battle 2-0 and did just enough to get back to the Super Bowl for the first time post-Brady and Belichick.
Quarterback Play
Sam Darnold delivered in a big way in the NFC Championship Game. The Seattle signal-caller threw for over 300 yards and three touchdowns and he has taken full advantage of having one of the best wide receivers in the league in Jaxson Smith-Njigba. JSN will face a tough matchup against New England corner Christian Gonzalez, and that matchup could determine what kind of night Darnold has in the Super Bowl.
Drake Maye will be expected to do more in this game than he did in the AFC Championship Game. But this is also Maye’s first appearance in the Super Bowl and you never know how a young quarterback will perform on a stage like this. He could be great, or he could struggle, and seeing how he handles this moment will be one of the most interesting subplots of Super Bowl LX.
Betting Trends
- The Patriots are 13-6-1 against the spread going into Super Bowl LX.
- New England has gone over the total in 12 of its 20 games.
- Seattle is an NFL-best 14-5 against the spread this season.
- The Seahawks have gone over the total in 11 of their 19 games this year.
Seahawks vs Patriots Model Projection
Score Projection: Seahawks 24, Patriots 21

Final Thoughts
This game is going to be extremely close as far as I’m concerned. Neither quarterback has been on this stage before and the one who does the best job of holding their nerve will likely earn their team a championship. I think Seattle wins a field goal game and that the Patriots cover the spread in what will be a memorable end to this NFL season.
