SEATTLE – The NFL regular season officially kicks off in Week 1 on Wednesday, September 9, with a Super Bowl rematch between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots. The line is leaning on Seattle in this one.
Super Bowl sportsbooks have just a 3.5-point spread set for the game, with history leaning toward the Seahawks coming in. Over the last 26 seasons, reigning Super Bowl champions are 21-5 in Week 1 games.
New England Patriots Vs. Seattle Seahawks Betting Lines
- Moneyline: Patriots (+160) vs. Seahawks (-185)
- Spread: Seahawks -3.5
- Total: 44 Points
Although reigning Super Bowl champions have fared well in Week 1 in history, that has cooled down over the last four seasons, with a 2-2 record.
Pats Catching Up
The New England Patriots odds are closer than many Seahawks fans might want to admit, and rightfully so. The Pats made all the right moves this offseason to remain in contention for a Super Bowl.
The biggest splash was made at receiver, where they brought in both AJ Brown and Romeo Doubs. On the offensive line, they made protection a priority in drafting tackle Caleb Lomu in the first round and also signing Alijah Vera-Tucker on the interior.
Is Seattle One And Done?
While the Seahawks odds are favored, it could be off the hype coming into the season off a Super Bowl win. Seattle lost several notable pieces from last season. The biggest loss came on offense with reigning Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker signing with the Kansas City Chiefs.
On defense, Boye Mafe, Coby Bryant, and Tariq Woolen all jumped ship as well. All three of which were key starters and contributors.
The Verdict
With the Patriots reloading in all the right spots and Seattle losing plenty of key contributors on both sides of the ball, this could be a Patriots to cover +3.5 and potentially spoil the celebration.
