Key Details
New England Patriots
Coming off a close win against the Denver Broncos, the New England Patriots are back in the Super Bowl with a new franchise quarterback. Drake Maye has been having an excellent regular season, with MVP-caliber stats against their opponents, even with a weak playoff run. The Patriots are led by a solid offensive core, with Stefon Diggs, Kayshon Boutte, DeMario Douglas, and more.
New England also has a strong defense with Milton Williams leading the defensive line, Harold Landry III and Robert Spillane on the linebacker core, and Carlton Davis III and Christian Gonzalez in a strong secondary room. The Patriots’ defense has been strong in the playoffs, allowing 8.7 points in their games, with a strong win against the Broncos due to their defense.
Seattle Seahawks
While the New England Patriots look strong, they are facing a Seattle Seahawks team looking to dominate after a strong playoff run. The Seahawks’ defense is one of the best this season, leading the league in points against, and having an amazing playoff run. Seattle’s defense has made the Niners offense look horrid by forcing them turn the ball over multiple times, and while a close game against the Rams, they stopped them at crucial moments.
 While the defense is elite, the Seahawks offense has been solid with Sam Darnold having a revival season, after a strong stint in Minnesota, but a weak ending, and hoping to win Lombardi for the Seahawks fandom in Santa Clara. With a strong receiver core, with Jaxson Smith-Nijiba leading the way, and Kenneth Walker III being a solid running back, the Seahawks offense could play well against the Patriots’ defense.
Prediction
With the Seattle Seahawks fully healthy and the New England Patriots dealing with potential injuries, it feels like the Seahawks could easily win this game against their opponents in Santa Clara. The Seahawks’ defense is one of the best this season, and could easily overrun the Patriots’ offensive line, which has been struggling in the playoffs, allowing around five sacks allowed in their games.
While Maye is showing durability in the playoffs, his performances have been weak in the Patriots’ wins, and with the Seahawks’ run defense being elite, they could have a rough game in their offense. This game could be an easy blowout with bettors picking the Seahawks to win but not cover due to the Patriots potentially having a garbage-time touchdown. With the Super Bowl rematch from 11 years ago, between the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks, it could be a fun game for everyone involved to end the 2025-2026 NFL season.
