Seattle’s 24-24 NFC Championship win over the Los Angeles Rams has given the Seahawks an early edge in the wagering market, placing them ahead of New England at the outset. The Patriots, however, can still be moved on the line before kickoff as action develops.
Historically, the odds have shifted since the start of the 2025 NFL season. At that time, the Baltimore Ravens were listed as the betting favorites at +700, with the Philadelphia Eagles also among the top contenders. By contrast, New England and Seattle were considered longshots, listed beyond +3000.
Sam Darnold and Drake Maye are both positioned to chase their first Super Bowl title in this matchup, while New England looks to add a seventh championship to its resume and Seattle aims for its second. The iconic 2014 meeting between the franchises remains a landmark chapter in their rivalry.
As the hype builds toward Super Bowl LX in Santa Clara, the opening line could move in either direction based on early action and team news. The initial 4.5-point spread sets the framework for early bettors to weigh the Patriots’ potential upset against the Seahawks’ early momentum.
