Over 2.5 Players to Attempt a Pass (+160)
Darnold and Maye will obviously sling the ball Sunday, but do not count out Smith-Njigba, who has thrown the ball before at the 2025 Pro Bowl Games.
While this is an infinitely higher-stakes game than that, we have seen skill players throw passes in iconic moments before, such as Pittsburgh’s win over Seattle in 2006 and Philadelphia’s iconic “Philly Special” in 2018.
Cooper Kupp Over 3.5 Receptions
While Kupp may not be the explosive wide receiver that he was in 2021, when he won Super Bowl MVP for his performance with the Rams against the Cincinnati Bengals, he has a history of success against Patriots cornerback Carlton Davis, including a huge catch on a go-route when the defensive back was with Tampa Bay.
They have a competitive history but Kupp’s ability to contribute to the offense with motion before the snap should give him the advantage and set him up to be a safety blanket for Darnold, to the tune of at least four catches.
Demarcus Lawrence Over 0.25 Sacks
The Patriots allowed 15 sacks in the postseason, five each to Los Angeles, Houston, and Denver. There is no reason to believe that trend will suddenly change against a high-pressure Seahawks defense. Lawrence leads the way for the NFC champs and should get to Maye for at least one full sack and is a dark horse candidate for the game’s MVP, if Seattle’s defense creates havoc.
