Super Bowl odds 2026: Seahawks favored over Patriots, as expected
Super Bowl 60 is set, and the odds are already out for the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots!
The odds at FanDuel Sportsbook list the Seahawks as favorites against the AFC champions, with Seattle sitting at -240 on the money line, while the Patriots come in at +198. Those odds reflect the common thought around the league: that the winner of the NFC Championship game would be the favorite entering Super Bowl 60, regardless of whether it would have been the Los Angeles Rams or Seahawks.
On the spread, Seattle is favored by -4.5, just a tad larger than a field goal, which notes that the oddsmakers expect this to still be a largely competitive Super Bowl. The total is set at 46.5, with the over priced at -105 and the under priced at -115. This indicates that oddsmakers expect this to be a back-and-forth game, while still showing some respect to both the Patriots and Seahawks’ defenses.
The biggest matchup looks to be the Seahawks defense versus the MVP hopeful quarterback, Drake Maye. The Seahawks showed dominance all season, however they just gave up 27 points to the Rams and another MVP hopeful quarterback, Matthew Stafford. In turn, Sam Darnold and the offense had one of their most impressive games against the Rams. They will look to keep that momentum up against the surging Patriots’ defense.
At the end of the day, despite the general consensus leaning towards the Seahawks being the favorites. These odds still reflect a closely contested game. For NFL fans, that is very welcome, especially after a non-competitive Super Bowl 59 last season. However, for Seahawks fans, many of them would be happy with a larger win similar to Super Bowl 48 rather than a close one that ended up in a Seahawks loss in Super Bowl 49.

Thanks to Carrie Brown for the westward view of our Saturday night sunset. The high today hit 68 at the airport – eight degrees above normal – but nowhere near the record for this date, which was 89 degrees back in 2016. The forecast suggests two more days of partly sunny, almost-70-degree weather, before the chance of rain returns.
CHICAGO (AP) — The struggling New York Mets placed former Seattle Mariners second baseman/designated hitter Jorge Polanco on the 10-day injured list on Saturday with a right wrist contusion.

The move was made retroactive to Wednesday, a day after Polanco went 0 for 4 with two strikeouts in a 2-1 loss at the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 32-year-old Polanco is batting .179 (10 for 56) with a homer and two RBIs in his first season with New York, which has lost nine straight.
“When doctors first took a look at him, it looked like he got hit by a pitch when he didn’t,” manager Carlos Mendoza said. “In talking to him, it was just a couple of swings that he took that night. … He didn’t think much of it, but just got worse the following day.
“So you just got to let it calm down a little bit and then we’ll go from there. But we don’t have a timetable for how long this is going to last.”
Polanco, who signed a two-year, $40 million contract with the Mets in December, also has been dealing with an ankle issue.
“He was trending in the right direction,” Mendoza said of the ankle injury. “It’s definitely going to help, obviously now with him being shut down. But the biggest thing now is that we’ve got to take care of that wrist.”
Polanco spent the previous two seasons with the Mariners, who acquired him in a February 2024 trade with the Minnesota Twins.
Polanco struggled during his first season with Seattle in 2024, hitting just .213 with 16 homers in 118 games while playing through a knee injury that didn’t become public knowledge until after the season.
But after the Mariners somewhat surprisingly brought him back for a one-year contract in 2025, Polanco rebounded to hit .265 with 26 homers and an .821 OPS in 138 games last season. He then added three homers during Seattle’s playoff run, along with a 15th-inning walkoff single in Game 5 of the American League Division Series that sent the Mariners to their first ALCS in 24 years.
