10 Super Bowl Bets to Make Right Now: Early Seahawks vs. Patriots Prop Bets to Target

There's no time to waste when it comes to betting on this Super Bowl 2026 matchup between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots, and I've already identified my 10 best Super Bowl bets to make right now to find the best value in the market.

With so many sportsbooks offering Super Bowl props within hours of the Super Bowl 60 matchup being confirmed, you can find legitimate betting value on the winner of the game, the O/U total, the Super Bowl MVP market, and all those juicy prop bet markets.

Here are 10 bets I'd make right now to get ahead of the early Super Bowl betting market:

All of the bets above can be made across our Super Bowl betting sites right now, and I'd recommend attacking them early before the market adjusts. The first few hours (and days) following the Super Bowl matchup being confirmed are typically the best time to attack the NFL betting markets for the Big Game, as sharps and the public alike will start to bet in high volume as the week progresses and sap the best early values.

🟢 Seahawks -4.5 (-108)

As I break down in my early Seahawks vs. Patriots prediction, Seattle simply has so many ways to win. If you can manage to score on their historically stout defense, good luck stopping their hyper-efficient offense led by offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak - one of the hottest names in this head coaching cycle - or their elite special teams unit, which can score in the return game or by blocking kicks, too.

This is the very first bet I'd make for your Super Bowl portfolio, as the opening Super Bowl odds have moved quickly with the Seahawks opening at -3.5 and quickly drawing action from sharp bettors looking to pounce on the early value. Some books have even moved to -5, so if you like the 'Hawks as I do, now is the time to strike.

⬇️ Under 46.5 (-110)

I'm a bit surprised to see the betting total move up by a point from the Super Bowl look-ahead lines, which had a hypothetical Seahawks vs. Patriots total at 45.5. Seattle's defense allowed 27 points in its NFC Championship win, but that came against the NFL's best offense facing the Seahawks defense for a third time. QB Drake Maye has really struggled against elite defenses this postseason, and this will be his toughest test yet.

If you're worried about the Seahawks' offense ruining this bet, I'd recommend targeting the Patriots team total Under 20.5, which will likely be one of my highest leverage positions for Super Bowl 60 if it ticks up to 21.5. This is a more common way to bet the total, though, and leaves more room for us to profit if Seattle wins a 24-21 type of affair.

🏆 Jaxon Smith-Njigba to win Super Bowl MVP (+550)

As I wrote about in my full breakdown of the Super Bowl MVP odds, Jaxon Smith-Njigba will be the best player on the field for Super Bowl 60, which makes him an easy bet for me at these +550 odds - a relative bargain compared to the two QB favorites.

JSN was unstoppable in the NFC Championship Game (10 catches, 153 yards, TD), and he was a force in the regular season with the seventh-most receiving yards (1,793) in the history of the NFL. It feels like the Seahawks receiver has flown under the radar despite establishing himself as a bona-fide top-five offensive skill position star, and he feels primed for a Cooper Kupp or Julian Edelman type of performance in the Big Game.

🙌 Jaxon Smith-Njigba to score anytime TD (+106)

If we like JSN to win Super Bowl MVP honors, you can bet we're all over his plus-money touchdown odds - especially with Caesars offering an outlier price of +106 while the rest of our best NFL prop betting sites have him priced at +100. The Seahawks star has scored in both playoff games so far and 10 of his last 17 games overall (58.9%), so I'm not sure why he's priced with a 50% expected probability to score in the Super Bowl.

1️⃣ Rashid Shaheed to score first TD (+2000)

Since the Seahawks acquired Rashid Shaheed from the New Orleans Saints at the trade deadline, he's finally been unlocked as one of the NFL's premier speedsters and playmakers with the ball in his hands. He's made an early impact in this postseason with an opening kickoff return TD in the divisional round and a 51-yard catch on the first drive of the NFC Championship - I'd expect Seattle to find ways to exploit his speed early.

🥐 Drake Maye to throw an interception (+115)

Maye was one of the most impressive players in the league this season as an NFL MVP odds finalist, but this is an awfully tough spot for a 23-year-old facing one of the best defenses in the history of the sport. Dan Marino, the only player younger than Maye to start a Super Bowl, threw two interceptions in the biggest moment of his career; so did Patrick Mahomes in his Super Bowl debut. Neither faced a defense as tough as this one, and we can bet on a single miscue at plus-money odds? Sign me up.

⬇️ Rhamondre Stevenson Under 56.5 rushing yards (-114)

I truly don't understand this betting line. Sure, Rhamondre Stevenson has rushed for 70-plus yards in his last two games, but both came in weather-marred conditions with the Patriots' offense nursing a lead. This time, he'll be facing the best run defense in football and likely a negative game script, too. I'm also expecting rookie TreVeyon Henderson to steal carries in the Super Bowl, making this a must-bet player prop for my portfolio.

⬆️ Kenneth Walker III Over 16.5 yards longest rush (-115)

With running mate Zach Charbonnet (knee) ruled out for the season, Kenneth Walker III has seen his workload tick up over the last month with double-digit carries in five straight games, including 19 rushes in both playoff games for Seattle. While he didn't hit on an explosive run against the Rams, I expect him to break free at least once against a vulnerable Patriots run defense that is stronger up the middle than along the edges.

↔️ 1Q total points to be even (-110)

This is one of the simplest bets you can make for the Super Bowl, and it's cashed at an alarmingly high rate in recent years: the first quarter total has landed on an even number in 12 of the last 13 years with last season as the only miss. While that may seem like a fluke, there's an easy explanation: most scores lead to an odd number of points (3, 7), and most Super Bowls feature 0, 10, or 14 points in the first quarter. We're fortunate that sportsbooks haven't caught on, so let's bet it now before that changes.

🪙 Coin toss to be tails (-104)

Look, this one doesn't quite fit neatly into the "early values" theme of the rest of these bets. But let's be honest with each other here: you're betting the coin toss, I'm betting the coin toss, and the rest of the world is probably betting the coin toss, too. And if you're going to bet on the Super Bowl coin toss odds ... tails never fails.
