Super Bowl 60 player prop bet: Sam Darnold under 0.5 interceptions (+110)
I’m not sure why there would have been any lingering doubts about Darnold even prior to the NFC Championship. If there were, they are gone now. In the biggest game of his career, Darnold played one of his best – completing 25 of 36 attempts for 346 yards and 3 touchdowns without an interception. The former USC standout is INT-free through 2 playoff games and has not been picked off since Week 17.
Further, Darnold has not thrown an interception in 6 of his last 10 games. The former #3 overall pick threw 14 INTs in the regular season, but those came in bunches (4 against the Rams on November 16, for example). Now, however, they aren’t coming at all. Yes, New England’s defense is good — but it’s a unit that grabbed only 10 picks while surrendering 25 TDs through the air in the regular season. At plus money, this prop has great value.

Super Bowl prop bet: Drake Maye Over 30.5 pass attempts (-103)
First of all, this will likely be a negative game script for the Patriots. They are +4.5 underdogs and a lot of people – me included – think they would do well to stay within that number. If New England is playing from behind all or most of the way, Maye will be forced to air it out. That is what the majority of Seattle’s opponents have done. During the regular season, teams attempted 600 passes against the Seahawks – fifth most in the NFL.
And why not? Seattle’s run defense ranked #3 in the league and #1 in yards per carry allowed (3.7). Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford took to the air 35 times in the NFC Championship. As for Maye, his relatively low passing numbers in the playoffs can be thrown out the window due to playing conditions. In the regular season, the former UNC standout exceeded this 30.5 quota in 5 of the last 8 contests – a stretch that included games with 44, 35 and 34 attempts. Maye should be in line for a lot during the Super Bowl.
Super Bowl 60 player prop bet: Kenneth Walker III over 23.5 receiving yards (-110)
The Seahawks’ backfield now belongs entirely to Walker after Zach Charbonnet went down with a torn ACL in the divisional round against the 49ers. Walker promptly delivered 111 yards from scrimmage and 1 touchdown in Seattle’s NFC Championship victory over Los Angeles. Four of his 23 touches were receptions, which he turned into 49 yards. The Michigan State product has exceeded this 23.5 number in 3 consecutive contests and in 4 of the last 5. In his last 3 regular-season games, Walker had receiving performances of 64 and 36 yards – and that was when he was still splitting time with Charbonnet.
The Seahawks now face a Patriots defense that yielded 84 receptions to opposing RBs in the regular season (5th-most in the NFL). New England head coach Mike Vrabel will likely channel his inner Bill Belichick and attempt to take away Seattle’s best player, who is WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba. He can do that with double-teams while putting CB Christian Gonzalez on WR2 Cooper Kupp, or Vrabel can let Gonzalez try to contain JSN by himself with some safety help. Either way, the Pats’ pass defense won’t be focused on KW3.

Super Bowl prop bet: Hunter Henry Over 36.5 receiving yards (–110)
There is no denying that Seattle’s pass defense is also stout, but it can be attacked from the tight-end position. The Seahawks surrendered the fifth-most receptions to opposing tight ends (105) and the sixth-most yards in the regular season. I expect that trend to continue, especially with CB Devon Witherspoon likely to put the clamps down on Patriots WR1 Stefon Diggs. That will put the pressure on Henry to step up, and he definitely can.
Henry racked up 64 yards and a touchdown in the wild-card round against the Chargers before bad weather prevented anyone on offense from doing much against the Texans and Broncos. The Arkansas product surpassed this 36.5 number 10 times during the regular season, including in 5 of the last 7 games. During that stretch, he gained fewer than 35 yards only once.
Seahawks vs Patriots Super Bowl LX anytime touchdown scorer best bet: Mack Hollins (+450)
Odds available at Fanatics Sportsbook at time of publishing.
Mack Hollins, along with Stefon Diggs, brings veteran experience to a team led by a 23-year-old MVP candidate and one of the youngest rosters in the league. He was a vital part of the Patriots AFC Championship win, as he reeled in both targets for 51 yards and played the 2nd most snaps in the wide receiver room — one behind Kayshon Boutte, who was blanketed for just one catch. In a likely negative game script, look for Drake Maye to target Hollins more than we saw in the Denver blizzard.

Seahawks vs Patriots Super Bowl 60 anytime TD scorer prediction: Seattle D/ST (+380)
Odds available at DraftKings Sportsbook at time of publishing.
The Los Angeles Rams had zero problems scoring points in the NFC Championship game versus the lethal Seahawks defense. However, that didn’t stop the Seattle special teams unit from cashing in and scoring a touchdown on the opening kickoff. Rashid Shaheed is a threat to take any kickoff for a touchdown, as is the Seahawks ball-hawking secondary, thanks to an elite pass rush that has registered four turnovers in two games this postseason.
Seahawks vs Patriots Super Bowl LX first touchdown scorer best bet: TreVeyon Henderson (+3000)
Odds available at Fanatics Sportsbook at time of publishing.
Let’s start with a bomb. TreVeyon Henderson saw just four snaps in the AFC Championship, while Rhamondre Stevenson dominated the backfield with 25 rushing attempts. The rookie continues to be underutilized after a solid rookie campaign that featured nine rushing touchdowns, including four of over 50 yards – The most by any player in Patriots history. He’s the biggest threat in the Patriots offense that features aging veterans at the receiver and tight end positions. If the Patriots look to involve both backs on their opening drive, Henderson is a play at 30/1 to be the first touchdown scorer.

Seahawks vs Patriots Super Bowl 60 first TD scorer prediction: Rashid Shaheed (+1800)
Odds available at DraftKings Sportsbook at time of publishing.
Speaking of explosive, Rashid Shaheed is capable of taking any kickoff, punt, catch, or carry to the house. He was one of the biggest trade deadline acquisitions for a Seahawks team that desperately needed another wide receiver other than Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who could be a real threat on the outside. That explosion was on full display in the NFC Championship game. He took the opening kick for a touchdown, while reeling in a 51-yard pass, and getting a carry in the backfield. Expect Seattle to get their shiny new toy going early on Super Bowl Sunday.
