The biggest NFL game of the year has arrived as Super Bowl 60 features two teams that exceeded expectations all season long. And, to make this game even more dramatic, it’s a rematch from Super Bowl 49 where the New England Patriots defeated the Seattle Seahawks on a late-game stand.
The Seattle Seahawks enter as the favorite in this rematch, after finishing with the no.1 seed in the NFC and then going on to take out two NFC West rivals – 49ers and Rams. The finished 14-3 on the season, just like the Patriots did.
New England entered the Playoffs as the no.2 seed in the AFC and went on a solid run where they defeated the Chargers and Texans at home, before heading to Denver to take out the no.1 seed in the conference.
Led by stellar QB play and stout defenses, these two Super Bowl participants are similarly built and feature solid teams with very little weaknesses. This is going to be an exciting game to conclude the 2025-26 NFL season.
Currently, the Seahawks are a one-score road favorite, according to the latest NFL betting lines. With that said, let’s dive deeper into the Super Bowl odds, courtesy of the top sports betting sites, and make our NFL picks for the 2026 Super Bowl between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots.
When Is the 2026 Super Bowl?
Super Bowl 60 is scheduled for Sunday, February 8, 2026, kicking off at 6:30 PM ET. The NFL’s championship game can be seen live on NBC and streamed on Peacock. NBC’s Sunday Night Football crew of Mike Tirico and Cris Collinsworth will be the commentators.
Where Is Super Bowl 2026?
This year’s big game will take place at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California—home of the San Francisco 49ers. Levi’s Stadium also hosted Super Bowl 50, in which the Denver Broncos thrashed the Carolina Panthers in what turned out to be Peyton Manning’s final NFL game.
2026 Super Bowl Odds
Check out the latest Super Bowl odds, courtesy of Scores and Stats:
| Team | Moneyline | Spread | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seattle Seahawks | -230 | -4.5 (-110) | O 45.5 (-110) |
| New England Patriots | +190 | +4.5 (-110) | U 45.5 (-110) |
Keep an eye on the latest NFL odds for Super Bowl 60 and monitor how the lines change up until kickoff.
The Seattle Seahawks opened as a 4.5-point favorite along with being listed at -225 odds. That spread went as high as -5 and a -235 moneyline before settling at the current numbers we have listed above. The New England Patriots opened as a +185 Underdog before seeing their line slightly increase to +190.
The Total opened at 46.5 points, went as low as 45.5 points, before climbing back up to the an Over/Under range of 45.5 to 46 points.
Clearly, sportsbooks felt good about their opening lines as there has been very little movement. Additionally, that means that the betting action has been fairly balanced on both sides. I do expect this to change before kickoff.
Heading into the Super Bowl, we’ve gone 9-3 with our NFL Playoff picks. A 5-1 record for Wild Card Weekend got us off to a hot start before going 2-2 in the Divisional Round. However, we bounced back with a perfect 2-0 record in the Conference Round to bring plenty of momentum to our Super Bowl 60 picks.

Super Bowl Matchup
These two NFL Teams have played against each other 20 times and it’s the Seattle Seahawks who hold the slight 11-9 series lead. They’ve also won three games in a row over the Patriots and four of the last five meetings. In fact, Seattle is 9-2 in the last 12 matchups.
However, it was the New England Patriots that won the biggest meeting between these two franchises – Super Bowl 49. Yet, when considered the Home Team against the Seahawks, like at SB 60, the Patriots are 1-6 SU in the last seven contests.
Seattle is 8-3-1 ATS in their last 12 games versus New England. Additionally, the Over has gone 7-0 in the last seven head-to-head meetings.
Super Bowl Predictions
Let’s take a look at the participants in Super Bowl 60 and make our winning NFL picks:
Seattle Seahawks Super Bowl
The Seattle Seahawks enter the Super Bowl as the favorite and it’s due to their high-level of play on both sides of the ball. They rank no.2 in scoring and no.1 in fewest points allowed. Furthermore, they’re 7th in yards accumulated and fewest yards allowed.
The defense has been strong all year long, including in the Playoffs when they held San Francisco to just six points in the Divisional Round. While they gave up 27 points to the Rams in the Conference Title game, Seattle’s defense made enough plays late in the game to assist in a victory.
Clearly, Seattle’s offense has been on fire this postseason as they’re averaging 36 ppg. Sam Darnold has played so well that the Vikings fired their GM this week due to his decision of letting Darnold leave Minnesota.
Seattle’s QB put up 346 yards, 3 TDs, and zero interceptions in the Conference Championship. He also has a no.1 target in Jaxon Smith-Njigba who established himself as one of the best receivers in the NFL. JSN tallied 10 catches for 152 yards and a TD against the Rams.
Kenneth Walker has been solid in the postseason, as well. He’s tallied 178 rushing yards, 4 rushing TDs, seven catches, and 78 receiving yards in two Playoff games.
As this trio goes, the Seattle offense goes. And, I expect Darnold to lead the charge at Super Bowl 60 against the Patriots.
New England Patriots Super Bowl
Say what you want about New England’s schedule this year, and favorable matchups in the postseason, because this defense has been fantastic as they’ve allowed just 8.6 ppg in three Playoff contests.
New England beat up Justin Herbert in the Wild Card game to win 16-3. They then forced four interceptions in a 28-16 win over the Houston Texans. Lastly, the Patriots went into Denver and beat the Broncos 10-7 in a snow game.
Regardless of the opponent, this team has played balanced football on both sides of the ball. In addition to a stellar defense, the Patriots have MVP contender Drake Maye who has been tremendous in his second year.
Maye has done what’s been asked of him each Playoff round. Whether it’s game management, throwing or running, this rising star has showed that no situation is too big for him. He’s also supported by the no.5 rushing attack, which will help to take the pressure off of Maye in the Super Bowl.
Who Is Winning Super Bowl 60?
Seattle is definitely motivated to get revenge on New England for the SB 49 loss. I think both run games are going to struggle in this matchup. The Patriots rank 4th against the run as they allow 97.2 ypg. The Seahawks rank 3rd against the run at 93.7 ypg.
So, then it comes down to QB play and offensive lines. Seattle has the 10th best passing attack at 226.5 ypg compared to New England’s 6th ranked passing attack at 235.1 ypg. Both teams have fared well against the pass but each is susceptible to giving up yardage and scores through the air.
The key difference in this game is that the Patriots have given up the 5th highest sack rate this year. Seattle’s defense has stepped it up late in the year and Playoffs. I see this unit getting Maye down on the ground and taking away “average” receivers. It’s not like Maye is throwing to Puka Nacua like Stafford does for the Rams.
I like for Seattle to win this game. They’re 6-1 SU against the Patriots in the last seven meetings. Additionally, they went 15-1 SU as the favorite, 8-1 SU on the road, and 7-0 as the road favorite this year. These are mind-boggling trends that show Seattle is poised for a championship.
With that said, I like for the Patriots to cover the points. They went 4-1 ATS in NFC games this year and 10-5-1 ATS following a win this season. They’ve also posted a 5-2 ATS mark in their last seven games as the Underdog.
12 of the last 21 Super Bowls have been one-score games. Additionally, three of the last four Super Bowls have been decided by a field goal.
Lastly, I’m bucking the recent SB Total trend, the Under going 5-2 in last seven Super Bowls, by taking the Over as it’s 7-0 in the last seven head-to-head meetings between these two teams. New England has also pushed the Over in 6 of their last 7 NFC games and 4 of their last five NFC West games.
Look for Darnold to punctuate his “Hollywood” season by leading the Seahawks to a Super Bowl Championship and rewriting the narrative surrounding his career. This will also help the Seahawks’ owner sell the team for an estimate seven to eight billion dollars following SB 60.
Bet: Seattle Seahawks (-230), Patriots +4.5 (-110), Over 45.5 (-110)
Best Bets For The Super Bowl
Check out our best bets for Super Bowl 60:
- Seattle Seahawks (-230)
- New England Patriots +4.5 (-110)
- Total Over 45.5 (-110)
The Seahawks have gone 9-3 SU in their last 12 meetings against the Patriots including 4-1 SU in the last handful of matchups. Plus, Seattle has gone 8-1 SU in the road with a 7-0 SU record as the road favorite.
While I like Seattle to win, I do like the Patriots to cover the 4.5 points. New England went 4-1 ATS in five NFC games and are 5-2 ATS as an underdog over the last two seasons. Also, three of the last four Super Bowls have been decided by a field goal, often at the end of the game.
Lastly, I like the Total to hit the Over in SB 60. These two teams have pushed it Over in seven straight head-to-head meetings. Additionally, they combine to average 56.4 ppg on the season.
