A champion will be crowned on Sunday when the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks meet in Super Bowl 60. The game will be defined by the two quarterbacks — New England’s Drake Maye and Seattle’s Sam Darnold. Both were picked early in the first round in their respective drafts, but the signal-callers took vastly different paths to the sport’s biggest game. Maye became an MVP candidate in just his second season, while Darnold went from blue-chip prospect to bust to grizzled veteran. Darnold is the +120 favorite (risk $100 to win $120) to be named Super Bowl MVP, while Maye is next in line at +240.
Both teams have strong defenses and robust rushing attacks. Critics will say the Patriots took advantage of an easy schedule to get here, but New England had to overcome two of the NFL’s best defenses — Houston and Denver — in the playoffs. The Seahawks, meanwhile, won a brutal NFC West with a bruising defense of their own and the NFL’s leader in receiving yards, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who is +500 to win MVP.
Kickoff from Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara is set for 6:30 p.m. ET on Sunday, Feb. 8. The Seahawks are 4.5-point favorites in the latest NFL odds at DraftKings. The over/under for total points scored is 45.5.
