NFL Predictions and Picks
New England Patriots at Seattle Seahawks (Wed, 8:15 p.m. ET)
Seahawks -3.5 (-104)
Spread
A modest home favorite in a genuine Super Bowl rematch, with a real, deep receiving corps on both sides suggesting this comes down to execution rather than a clear talent gap.
Under 44.5 (-110)
Total
The two team totals combine to 44 points on their own, essentially matching this number exactly — a genuinely fair reflection of how the market expects the scoring to break down in Week 1.
Best Player Props
Jaxon Smith-Njigba Over 81.5 Receiving Yards (-114)
Receiving Yards
Smith-Njigba is priced at an almost unthinkable -10000 just to record a single 10-yard catch, a genuine sign he's expected to see heavy volume all game — his full yardage line reflects that same confidence.
A.J. Brown Over 62.5 Receiving Yards (-114)
Receiving Yards
Brown is priced at -2500 just to clear a single 10-yard catch, the clear top target in New England's passing attack against a Seattle secondary he'll be tested against all night.
Rhamondre Stevenson Over 55.5 Rushing Yards (-114)
Rushing Yards
Stevenson is also the shortest price on the entire anytime touchdown board at +110, a genuine sign he's expected to carry a heavy workload for New England's offense in the opener.
Jadarian Price Anytime Touchdown (+135)
Anytime Touchdown Scorer
Price also has a real rushing line (51.5 yards) and is tied for the second-shortest anytime touchdown price on the board — a genuine lead-back workload for Seattle in the opener.
Sam Darnold 2+ Passing Touchdowns (+114)
Passing Touchdowns
With Smith-Njigba drawing that much confidence in the market, Darnold clearing two touchdown passes is a genuinely fair plus-money number for a favored offense at home.
Drake Maye Over 234.5 Passing Yards (-114)
Passing Yards
Maye's own line sits slightly ahead of Darnold's, and with A.J. Brown drawing heavy volume in his own right, the yardage should be there even if New England trails on the scoreboard.
George Holani Anytime Touchdown (+185)
Anytime Touchdown Scorer
Holani rounds out Seattle's real backfield behind Price, and a plus-money price this deep into the touchdown market still reflects a genuine role in a Seahawks offense favored to score.
Jadarian Price or Rhamondre Stevenson Anytime Touchdown (-230)
Either Player Anytime Touchdown
Combining the two shortest touchdown prices on the entire board into one bet is a genuinely safe way to back the game's clearest workhorse backs without picking just one.
