Super Bowl 60 is set, and the odds are already out for the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots!
The odds at FanDuel Sportsbook list the Seahawks as favorites against the AFC champions, with Seattle sitting at -240 on the money line, while the Patriots come in at +198. Those odds reflect the common thought around the league: that the winner of the NFC Championship game would be the favorite entering Super Bowl 60, regardless of whether it would have been the Los Angeles Rams or Seahawks.
On the
spread, Seattle is favored by -4.5, just a tad larger than a field goal, which notes that the oddsmakers expect this to still be a largely competitive Super Bowl. The total is set at 46.5, with the over priced at -105 and the under priced at -115. This indicates that oddsmakers expect this to be a back-and-forth game, while still showing some respect to both the Patriots and Seahawks’ defenses.
The biggest matchup looks to be the Seahawks defense versus the MVP hopeful quarterback, Drake Maye. The Seahawks showed dominance all season, however they just gave up 27 points to the Rams and another MVP hopeful quarterback, Matthew Stafford. In turn, Sam Darnold and the offense had one of their most impressive games against the Rams. They will look to keep that momentum up against the surging Patriots’ defense.
At the end of the day, despite the general consensus leaning towards the Seahawks being the favorites. These odds still reflect a closely contested game. For NFL fans, that is very welcome, especially after a non-competitive Super Bowl 59 last season. However, for Seahawks fans, many of them would be happy with a larger win similar to Super Bowl 48 rather than a close one that ended up in a Seahawks loss in Super Bowl 49.
