New England Patriots vs Seattle Seahawks Tips, Bet Builder, NFL Playoff Predictions & Odds
It’s been a long hard season, but we have finally reached Super Bowl week. The Seattle Seahawks will be taking on the New England Patriots in what promises to be an entertaining encounter.
Both the Seahawks and Patriots finished the regular season with 14-3 records, and both have had decent playoff runs. Despite that it will all come down to who handles the pressure of the big game in San Fransico on Sunday.
Patriots vs Seahawks Tips
Here at Free Bets, we have got a 15/2 Bet Builder for the big matchup, plus the latest odds from a variety of betting sites on this game.
George Holani 10+ receiving yards (Alternate receiving yards market)
George Holani barely did anything during the regular season. He has a touchdown in week 10 against the Arizona Cardinals but that was about it.
However, with Zach Charbonnet going down injured the former Boise State running back has become vital in the playoffs. Against the Rams, Holani had three receptions for 27 yards. With Charbonnet still out a similar story should happen here.
Cooper Kupp 3+ receptions (Alternate receptions market)
Cooper Kupp had a quiet regular season this year but has turned up when it truly mattered. The veteran receiver only amassed 593 receiving yards and two touchdowns in the 16 games he played.
However, he has been a vital part of the Seahawks playoff wins against the 49ers and Rams. Against the 49ers he had five receptions for 60 yards, the most for the Seahawks. Then against the Rams he had four receptions for 36 yards and a touchdown.
Kupp isn’t the force that he once was, but he is still a reliable pass catcher for Sam Darnold. He should get at least three receptions in this game.
Kenneth Walker anytime touchdown scorer
Kenneth Walker has had a solid season, but it has felt like Zach Charbonnet has taken over the lead role. With Charbonnet missing through injury Walker has now got the backfield mostly to himself.
During the season he rushed for just over 1,000 yards and five touchdowns. In the playoffs he has scored four touchdowns in the Seahawks two games, and he should have plenty of opportunities again.
Drake Maye 25+ rushing yards (Alternate rushing yards market)
Drake Maye has had a great season, and all the MVP hype has been deserved. He has led the offence well all year and he is a genuine dual threat quarterback.
As the pressure has got more during the playoffs Maye has struggled a bit more but has used his legs to get out of trouble. In the Wildcard round he rushed for 66 yards and then in the Championship game he rushed for 65 yards.
He will see plenty of pressure from the Seahawks defence and so will have to rush to get out of trouble. Over 25 yards shouldn’t be an issue for him.
Stefon Diggs 4+ receptions (Alternate receptions market)
Stefon Diggs has had a good season for the Patriots and managed to get just over 1,000 yards and four touchdowns. In the playoffs he also became vital for the offence.
Diggs had four or more receptions in nine of the Patriots regular season games and in two of their playoff games. If the Patriots are to perform well, they will need to get their veteran receiver involved as much as possible.
