All eyes will be on Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California on Sunday night when the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots go head-to-head in Super Bowl LX.

These sides met at Super Bowl XLIX back in the 2014 season, with Tom Brady’s Pats coming out on top 28-24 in a thrilling game at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.

Seattle and New England face off once again in Super Bowl LX and perhaps it will be the Seahawks who will gain sweet revenge for their heartbreak of 11 years ago.

Seahawks to swoop for Santa Clara success

As favourites going into Sunday’s showdown in California, there’s plenty to like about this Seattle Seahawks side ahead of this high-pressure game.

Currently on a nine-game winning streak, Seattle impressed in different ways during their two play-off games.

Thrashing the wounded San Francisco 49ers 41-6, the Seahawks showed they can also edge out tight games with their 31-27 victory over the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC Championship game.

Quarterback Sam Darnold seems to be coming into his prime years and the 28-year-old, who had been somewhat of a nomad in recent seasons, has been shining up in Seattle.

New England, with second-year quarterback Drake Maye, have punched above their weight this season but Sunday’s game might just be a bridge too far.

With the Pats also having played a game extra in the play-offs, fatigue might just prove the difference and Seattle to win and cover the spread gets the green light.

Defences will be key

These are two elite defences that will go head-to-head at Levi’s Stadium and that might well make for a low-scoring encounter on Sunday.

Conceding an average of just 17.2 points over the course of the regular season, it’s little wonder the Seahawks are on the winning run they are on.

New England are not far behind either, conceding an average of just 18.8 points per game through the regular season and with that in mind, going for under 43.5 total points in Sunday’s Super Bowl catches the eye at 23/20.

Drake may need better protection

Sacked 47 times in 17 NFL appearances this season, Maye has had his fair share of whacks on this journey to the Super Bowl.

Against this impressive Seattle defence, it would be little surprise to see the 23-year-old QB come under serious pressure.

New England’s offensive line will have their work cut out for them and Maye to be sacked a few times at least appeals in this one.

Darnold has been sacked just the 27 times in comparison but it still appeals at odds of 23/20 for there to be over 6.5 sacks over the course of the game in Santa Clara on Sunday, with the Pats having recorded three against Denver in the AFC Championship game.
