Seahawks vs. Patriots best bets at DraftKings Sportsbook: Model reveals top three Big Game picks
SportsLine's proven computer model has identified its top three New England vs. Seattle picks for the Big Game on DraftKings
The Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots are one win away from being crowned as champions of the NFL and the two franchises will meet in the Big Game on Sunday, Feb. 8 at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif. Kickoff is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. ET and it will be a star-studded matchup with Drake Maye, Sam Darnold, Stefon Diggs and Jaxon Smith-Njigba leading two top-five offenses and two top-five defenses on the field as well. The latest NFL odds from DraftKings list the Seahawks as 4.5-point favorites while the over/under is 45.5, but there are also hundreds of Big Game NFL props available.
One of the SportsLine Projection Model's Big Game best bets is Under 45.5 points, as it predicts two physical defenses to slow down the game considerably. It projects that the Under hits in 59% of simulations and is also recommending Rhamondre Stevenson as an anytime touchdown scorer (+160) and Jaxon Smith-Njigba Over 6.5 receptions (-149).
The model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, is up well over $7,000 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since its inception. The model enters the Big Game on a 53-37 run on top-rated picks dating back to 2024. Anybody following its NFL betting picks at sportsbooks and on betting sites could have seen strong returns

Under 45.5 points in Seahawks vs. Patriots (-108)
The Seahawks and Patriots ranked first and fourth in the NFL in scoring defense during the regular season and this is likely to be another physical matchup. Seattle did give up 27 points to the Rams last week, but it has been dominant against everybody but Los Angeles dating back to the bye week. Meanwhile, the Patriots have forced eight turnovers in three postseason games and haven't given up more than 241 yards of total offense during the playoffs. The model predicts that the Under hits in 59% of simulations.
Rhamondre Stevenson, Patriots, anytime TD scorer (+160)
Despite battling injuries and splitting reps with rookie TreVeyeon Henderson all season, Stevenson piled up 948 scrimmage yards this season and scored a career-high nine total touchdowns in 14 games during the regular season. He's also been leaned on heavily this postseason, as he's been given 58 touches over the first three games compared to Henderson's 26. He's the more efficient receiving running back at the moment and Seattle did give up a receiving touchdown to a running back last week. The model predicts that Stevenson scores 0.52 touchdowns on average while these odds imply a 38.5% chance to score.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Seahawks, Over 6.5 receptions (-149)
Smith-Njigba led the NFL in receiving yards this season and he ranked fourth with 119 receptions overall. After a quiet game against the 49ers with the Seahawks dominating the line of scrimmage, he broke out with 10 catches for 153 yards and a touchdown in the 2026 NFC Championship Game against the Rams. Seattle lines Smith-Njigba up all over the field to create difficult matchups for the opposing defense and scheming easy looks for the most potent weapon on the field will be high priority. The model predicts that he finishes with 7.2 receptions on average.
