The final game of the NFL season takes place on Sunday with the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks squaring off in Super Bowl 60 in Santa Clara, Calif. The Seahawks are looking to get some long-awaited revenge for the infamous goal-line interception back in Super Bowl 49 against New England, while the Patriots are trying to complete one of the greatest one-year turnarounds in league history after winning just four games last season. All eyes will be on the quarterbacks, as the Patriots' Drake Maye has been phenomenal as an MVP finalist in just his second NFL campaign, while Seattle's Sam Darnold has gone from draft bust to journeyman to on the cusp of being a Super Bowl-winning starting quarterback. Darnold's over/under for total passing yards is 231.5, and his over/under for total completions is 20.5. 

The defenses will also be a key aspect of this matchup, with Seattle ranking first in the NFL in points allowed, while New England was close behind at fourth. The Patriots' defense has been dominant this postseason, allowing just 26 points across three wins over Los Angeles, Houston and Denver. The Seahawks' defense dominated San Francisco in the Divisional Round, allowing just six points, before the team leaned on Darnold, star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and the offense to get past Los Angeles in a thrilling NFC title game. 

Kickoff from Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara is set for 6:30 p.m. ET. The Seahawks are 4.5-point favorites, according to the latest Patriots vs. Seahawks odds at DraftKings, and the total, or Over/Under, is 45.5 points. Before you make any Super Bowl picks and bets of your own, you need to see what the SportsLine Projection Model has to say.
