Big Game NFL betting

The Big Game features plenty of people at featured spots making their debuts in the final game of the season, including at head coach and quarterback. Seattle quarterback Sam Darnold and head coach Mike Macdonald are both making their Big Game debut, at least Darnold's debut as the starting quarterback, and New England quarterback Drake Maye and head coach Mike Vrabel are making their Big Game debut in their current positions, with Vrabel returning for the first time since he was a linebacker for the Patriots. After years of familiar faces in the Big Game, such as Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Jalen Hurts and dating back to Tom Brady, there are plenty of fresh storylines to watch and wager on Sunday.

The 2026 Big Game kicks off from Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., home of the San Francisco 49ers, on Sunday at 6:30 p.m. ET. For NFL betting, the Seahawks are favored by 4.5 points with an over/under set at 45.5 points. The Patriots and Seahawks were tied for the best record in the NFL this season, and they also have the two best against-the-spread records, with Seattle 14-5 and New England 13-6-1 ATS, including the playoffs. The Over has also hit more than the Under for both teams this year, for those looking to follow betting trends. Sign up for Fanatics Sportsbook here:
