Why the Seahawks can cover
Seattle’s identity this season has been defense: the team held opponents to 16 points or fewer in six of its last eight games. The Seahawks finished the year with the league’s sixth-best defense, yielding 285.6 yards and a league-low 17.2 points per game, and they were stingy against the run (just 91.9 rushing yards allowed per game, third-best). Offensively, Seattle ranked among the top 10, averaging 351.4 yards (tied for seventh) and 28.4 points per game (third). Veteran QB Sam Darnold has been central to that attack, which posted the eighth-best passing numbers at 228.1 yards per game.
Why the Patriots can cover
New England also relied on a strong defense in 2025–26, finishing with the NFL’s eighth-best unit at 295.2 yards allowed per game and surrendering just 18.8 points per game (fourth-fewest). The Patriots were particularly effective against the run (sixth-best, allowing 101.7 rushing yards per game) and had limited opponents to 16 points or fewer in each of their past five games. Offensively, New England was prolific, averaging 28.8 points per game (second-most) behind second-year QB Drake Maye; they ranked third overall in yards (379.4 per game) and fourth in passing (250.5), scoring 26 or more points in eight of their last 10 outings.
