Over/Under

Over/Under: 45.5 points

The New England Patriots averaged the second-most points of any team per game in the regular season with 28.8. That total fell off a proverbial cliff in the postseason, with Drake Maye and Co. averaging just 18 points in their three playoff victories.

That they played three tough defenses did not help but things will not get any better in the Super Bowl as they combat a Seahawks defense that has given up just 16.5 points a game to opponents, the Rams game notwithstanding.

The Seahawks offense has been red-hot, averaging 36 points per game, but the Patriots defense has allowed just 8.7 points, setting the stage for a potentially defense-dominated game.

The over/under of 45.5 points would suggest a game in which one team blows the other out, or an average of 22.25 points per team. That does not seem feasible given what we have seen out of the New England defense against other teams and their offense through the postseason.

Take the under, with the idea being that Mike Vrabel and the Pats defense will throw unique and different schemes at Seattle as he did Houston and Los Angeles, both of whom had no answers for New England's defensive looks.

Moneyline and Early Spread

Moneyline: Seahawks (-225), Patriots (+185)

Spread: 4.5 points

The Seahawks will be undoubtedly the best team the Patriots have faced all season. New England played one winning team in the regular season (Buffalo) and benefited from facing a Denver Broncos squad in the AFC Championship without its starting quarterback.

The defense is the second-best unit it will have faced all year, behind Houston in the divisional round, and the offense has been as electric as any. Still, the Pats have a stout defense that has allowed them to win the closest of games.

As witnessed in the NFC Championship Game against the Rams, the Seahawks defense is susceptible to the pass and with two weeks to prepare, Josh McDaniels should be able to scheme up a few looks that will allow Maye and the offense to take advantage of it.

The question is whether the Patriots' pass rush can get home. Seattle was prepared for it against Los Angeles and picked that defense apart with screens and short passes to take advantage of the aggression. If New England does not get home against Darnold and the Seahawks offensive line, they will be subject to the same, frustrating drive-extenders that the Rams were.

This year's playoffs have been defined by high drama, with late comebacks and mostly close scores. The Super Bowl should be no different. Take the under on the moneyline, with a field goal likely to be the difference in the final score.

As for the winner? There is something about the Patriots, starting a second-year quarterback against an NFC team that most expect to win, in the biggest game of the year. Take New England and their "by any means necessary" style of winning.
