In no time flat, Seattle advanced to -4.5. The total opened at 46.5, and that number saw no early movement, remaining there late Sunday night.

• Patriots vs. Seahawks (-3.5)

I'm a fan of Darnold, hope Seattle wins.

That guy has been as mentally tough as can be through the years. Would be a great story.

[GobbleDog 1,042]

For decades most Superbowls were blowouts. Scores have been closer in recent years, but still some lopsided games here and there.

My theory is the Superbowl is often a matchup between a truly dominate team -vs- a team that squeaked their way in.  That's certainly the case this year with Seattle vs .... the Patriots who played one of the softest schedules in the league to reach the playoffs, then faced the Chargers who had no o-line, the Texans with no offense (or Nico Collins), and the Broncos without Nix in a blizzard.  

I foresee this game getting ugly fast.

Who you betting on for more touches, Stevenson, or The retired Henderson?

I’d wait for it to get to 14.5 before I’d even consider it.   Have you watched NE play this year?

Sam Darnold isn't winning a Superbowl. 

[Flipper 78]

The Seahawk's D is possibly better than any the Pats have faced all year.  Playoff Maye has been lackluster - let alone having a shoulder injury.  I think the Seahawks' laying up to 10 points will be a good play.

 

ETA: And I was not a Darnold believer and on the Rams ...

Stevenson

Stevenson is a stud. The corner piece of Dynasty Squads. You wouldn't understand Dynasty because you play Free 10 Team Yahoo Leagues. 

[League Champion 2,022]

Seattle -4.5 (-115) at DraftKings Sportsbook

Holding steady. I'll follow the smart money and make my decision before Sunday

Looks like a lot of people are giving the points, because it's up to -4.5.  I'll still give the points.  I'm going with Seattle and the under.  I'll say Seahawks 27 Pats 10.  I don't really see a scenario where New England moves the ball with any regularity or consistency to put up many scoring drives.  I think in order for this game to be competitive for the Patriots, they'll need a big turnover margin and at least 1 defensive score.  This game may be a replay of the Tampa / KC Super Bowl.

I truly hope seattle wins, but I have a sneaking feeling this is New Englands game to lose.  I think they are the better team

if you are right I'll be a very happy man.  I think this is New Englands game though.   and I truly hope I'm wrong.

go Seahawks!

Someone posted a tweet somewhere (I don't have twitter, so I don't remember the specifics), but in every single game that New England played... up to the Super Bowl, was against a back up QB, a coach who got fired, a coordinator who got fired, or the Jets.  I'm not saying that I think the Patriots stink or anything like that, I just think a lot of thinks really worked out for them up to this point in time and this game, will be the first game all year, where they're playing against a good team who's not facing any "internal termoil" (for a lack of a better phrase).  I think they're a solid team going up against a great team, fully healthy, fully prepared, and completely secure in their environment, and Patriots are going to be out matched.

Now, I do think they have a good defense and will at least prevent a boat race, but I think one of two things happen... the game will be something like (but not speficically), 20-3 with 3 minutes to go in the game and either a) the Seahawks score to drive the nail in the coffin or b) the Patriots get an 'oh by the way' TD to make the score look closer than what the game really was.  I mean, you can pick a different score like 23-10 or 27-13.  Point is, the game won't really be that close even the numbers may look that way.

dude, I do hope you are right.

personally I think the pats offense is better than you are giving them credit for.

in fact, I really hope the score is even more lopsided than you are predicting (in favor of seattle)  but I said how I feel.   my head says pick the pats.  my heart says go seahawks.

I'm truly hoping my heart (which is with you) is the part of me that is right.

either way, that is why they actually play the game.    this is actually one of the more interesting superbowls in recent memory.   I dont think I would have predicted either team would get this far at the start of the playoffs.

so maybe I dont know as much as I thought i did lol.   

either way.... I'll be watching and If you are right I'll be the first to congratulate you on being right.

Agree!

[kutulu 1,732]

hold em to 3 is a victory to start

[nobody 3,023]

Henderson got a carry. I guess new england realizes they're going to need to use their best players.

[JagFan 199]

What time do the Patriots start playing today?

[JagFan 199]

Great halftime show….so stupid.

[nobody 3,023]

Too bad the AFC didn't have any super bowl worthy teams.

looks like you nailed this.

I did think that if it became a 2 score game that there was the potential for it to become a blowout.   these defenses feast on offenses that get to a point where they need to take some chances.

 

either way, well done TBay I tip my hat to you on the prediction.

[weepaws 3,494]

Oh goody, look at what I didn’t watch, another nfl classic. The product on the field is horrible.
