• Seahawks’ running back Walker attracting significant prop bets
• Patriots QB Drake Maye reports improvement from shoulder injury
• Seahawks emerge as heavy betting favorites for the Super Bowl

The shoulder injury that sidelined New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye from practice last week has sufficiently improved, allowing him to fully participate with the team as they gear up for Super Bowl LX.

“I feel fantastic,” Maye stated to reporters on Monday. “I threw a considerable amount during practice, just like I would in a typical session. I am eager to be out there again for practice on Wednesday and Thursday, followed by a standard preparation week.”

There’s a heightened focus on Maye – currently priced at +650 to secure the NFL regular season MVP, trailing Rams QB Matthew Stafford at -900. Maye achieved fourth place in the NFL for passing yards (4,394), ranked third in touchdowns (31), first in QBR (77.1), passer rating (113.5), and completion percentage (72.0).

The American Gaming Association anticipates a record $1.76 billion in bets by Americans on the upcoming game between the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks scheduled at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, CA. (Kickoff at 6:30 p.m. EST), with prop betting seeing a notable rise.

Surge in Prop Betting Popularity

“Prop betting consistently plays a crucial role in the Super Bowl handle, and this year we’re providing our most extensive prop betting menu ever to maximize opportunities for bettors,” remarked Joey Feazel, Head of Football at Caesars Sportsbook.

Same Game Parlays are set to regain their spotlight, replicating their season-long popularity. Bettors enjoy crafting touchdown-scoring SGPs that yield higher payouts compared to many of the traditional two-way props available for the Super Bowl. We anticipate a significant wave of SGP action throughout the week, right up until the kickoff on Sunday afternoon.”

Unbalanced Betting Trends Favoring Seattle

Despite concerns about Maye’s health, betting patterns indicate an overwhelming preference for the Seahawks to dominate the matchup.

The current Moneyline at Caesars shows Seahawks -230, Patriots +191, with a spread of Seahawks -4.5 (-112). FanDuel reports Seattle at -235, New England at +194, maintaining the same spread of Seahawks -4.5.

“We’re also observing a considerable number of bets on the under (45.5), aligning with Seattle’s reputation for a formidable defense,” stated Feazel. “However, we do expect a last-minute surge of bets on the Patriots’ moneyline, as many bettors regard New England at +190 as a solid value proposition.”
