Champions will be crowned on Sunday, Feb. 8, when the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks meet in Super Bowl 60. The game is set to showcase two quarterbacks – New England’s Drake Maye and Seattle’s Sam Darnold. Maye has emerged as a candidate for MVP in just his second season, while Darnold has navigated a tumultuous journey from being a highly touted prospect to becoming a seasoned veteran.
Both teams possess formidable defenses and robust rushing attacks. Critics may argue that the Patriots capitalized on a favorable schedule, but they proved their mettle by overcoming two of the NFL’s strongest defenses – Houston and Denver – during the playoffs. The Seahawks won a tough NFC West, propelled by a talented defense, along with the league’s leader in receiving yards, Jaxon Smith-Njigba.
Kickoff from Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. ET on Sunday, Feb. 8. The Seahawks are currently favored by 4.5 points, with the total points set at 45.5.
