"With two of the league's nastiest defenses suffocating opponents lately, the Seahawks vs Patriots total at sportsbooks is sparking a massive debate. Are we in for a defensive chess match that keeps the scoreboard quiet, or will these young offenses find a way to blow past the number? The 'public" and "sharps" have picked sides, and the line has held steady."
"Oddsmakers are betting on a defensive slugfest at Levi's Stadium for Super Bowl LX. With Mike Macdonald's Seahawks and Mike Vrabel's Patriots both bringing top-tier scoring defenses to the table, the total has been set at a level that assumes touchdowns will be a premium. "Sharp" bettors have been leaning toward the under all week, especially since the Patriots' defense has been playing incredibly well this postseason, giving up less than nine points per game."
"On the other hand, the public isn't buying the low-scoring hype. Most casual fans are hammering the "over," betting that playmakers like Jaxon Smith-Njigba or a mobile Drake Maye will eventually find a seam and break the game open. It's the classic Super Bowl tug-of-war: the pros are betting on a disciplined grind, while the fans are hoping for some Sunday night fireworks. As of today, the total across the industry stands at 45.5."
The Seahawks and Patriots are meeting in a highly anticipated rematch, and sportsbooks set the Super Bowl LX total at 45.5. Oddsmakers anticipate a defensive struggle given both teams' top-tier scoring defenses under Mike Macdonald and Mike Vrabel. Sharp bettors have been leaning toward the under, partly because the Patriots' defense has surrendered less than nine points per game this postseason. Many casual bettors favor the over, backing playmakers like Jaxon Smith-Njigba and a mobile Drake Maye to generate scoring. The line and point spread have remained relatively stable across major books, with the Seahawks listed as favorites.
