Super Bowl Same Game Parlay: Patriots/seahawks

Sunday, the Patriots and Seahawks will play Super Bowl 60 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif. New England earned the No. 2 seed in the AFC playoff picture, then defeated the Chargers, Texans and Broncos en route to a conference title. Seattle earned a bye after finishing the regular season 14-3, then took care of business against the 49ers and Rams at home to punch their ticket to the big game. This will be the first time in 12 years that the Seahawks will be in the Super Bowl – the last time, of course, being the infamous Malcolm Butler game.

Kickoff this weekend is set for 6:30 p.m. ET Sunday on NBC and Peacock.

If looking for a fun way to sweat Sunday’s NFL season finale, I have put together a three-leg same game parlay (+460) for Super Bowl 60. As always, it is worth noting that straight wagers are a far more profitable long-term betting strategy than parlays. Still, parlays can be a fun way to get some extra action on a game to make things interesting!

New England Patriots vs. Seattle Seahawks Same Game Parlay

Leg 1: Sam Darnold Under 0.5 Interceptions

(+103)

Sam Darnold has quietly put together a very strong month of football. In his last 3 games, he has committed only 1 turnover-worthy throw on 79 pass attempts (1.2%). A large part of his success has been how open his receivers have been, with offensive coordinator Klint Hubiak doing a masterful job scheming open the team’s pass-catchers.

New England’s defense has recorded 5 interceptions and 8 total takeaways in three playoff games – numbers that are likely due for some negative regression, as turnovers are often more noisy than they appear on the surface. At plus-money, this is a worthwhile inclusion in a Super Bowl SGP.

Leg 2: Kenneth Walker III Over 73.5 Rushing Yards

(-110)

Kenneth Walker III struggled with his efficiency in the NFC Championship Game against the Rams, collecting only 62 rushing yards on 19 attempts. More importantly, however, he was clearly the team’s preferred option on the ground.

Walker received 19 of the team’s 22 carries that went to the running back position, including all 3 red zone opportunities and the team’s only goal line rush attempt. Even with his struggles against the Rams, he was still far and away more efficient than backup RB George Holani.

Expect Walker to get fed in the Super Bowl. If he sees close to 20 rush attempts again, it’s going to be difficult for the Patriots to keep him under this number.

Leg 3: Drake Maye Under 37.5 Rushing Yards

(-115)

Seattle’s zone defense doesn’t exactly discourage opposing quarterbacks from running, but the unit tends to do a pretty good job wrapping up quarterbacks before they can scramble for big gains. Their zone-heavy approach means that they tend to always have at least a couple sets of eyes on the quarterback. This typically leads to fewer wide open running lanes for quarterbacks compared to teams that have their defenders’ backs turned in man coverage.

The Seahawks should be able to contain Maye’s scramble attempts relatively well in this matchup. Our FTN model loves this play, too, showing an 8.95% edge to the under.
