"This will stand as the second meeting between the Patriots and Seahawks in the Super Bowl - as Tom Brady overcame Seattle's "Legion of Boom" defense in an instant classic in Super Bowl XLIX. New England entered the postseason as the No. 2 seed in the AFC with a 14-3 record, but the Patriots haven't always been a popular pick across sportsbooks this season - especially against other top teams teams across the NFL landscape."
"New England's defense has also dominated, allowing just 26 total points over those three games. But critics have also discredited the Patriots' defense as being benefactors of several fortunate bounces - be it CJ Stoud's implosion (four interceptions) in the AFC divisional round, or Denver rolling out backup QB Jarrett Stidham on Sunday in the AFC title game. Still, New England's defense has easily handled the competition put in front of it for weeks now,"
New England enters Super Bowl LX as an underdog to Seattle after both teams beat the Broncos and Rams in their conference championship games. Seattle opened as a slight favorite across sportsbooks with the game set for Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara in two weeks. This will be the second Super Bowl meeting between the franchises; Tom Brady's Patriots previously beat Seattle in Super Bowl XLIX. New England was the AFC No. 2 seed at 14-3. The Patriots' defense allowed 26 points across three playoff games, while the offense averaged 18.0 points. Critics point to turnovers and opponent injuries or backups as helpful factors.
