Super Bowl 60 in Santa Clara, California pits an intriguing matchup between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots. Both teams boast stellar defenses, but each offense is more than capable of putting up a big number. That’s why it will be so interesting to see what kind of game plays out on the field on Sunday, February 8.
On the Seahawks’ side of things, they have been a force offensively throughout these playoffs. Following a first-round bye, head coach Mike Macdonald’s squad scored 41 points against San Francisco and torched the Rams for 31 points.
Here are my favorite Seahawks player prop bets for Super Bowl 60. You can also get our NFL picks for Super Bowl LX with our Seahawks vs Patriots predictions, as our experts look to add to their +82.1 units of profit this season!
Super Bowl 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: 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.
