Pro Picks: Seahawks will edge Patriots to win their second Super Bowl
February 4, 2026
Sam Darnold has been traded, discarded and labeled a bust. Now, it’ll take an upset for him not to be called a Super Bowl champion. Darnold and the Seattle Seahawks (16-3) are 4 1/2-point favorites on BetMGM Sportsbook against Drake Maye and the New England Patriots (17-3) on Sunday. It’s a matchup that features two of the NFL’s most balanced teams who have taken different routes to get here. The Seahawks earned a first-round bye and then dominated the San Francisco 49ers 41-6 to reach the NFC championship game. Behind a spectacular game from Darnold, they beat the Los Angeles Rams 31-27 to advance to their fourth Super Bowl.
