The Seattle Seahawks defeated the New England Patriots 29-13 in Super Bowl LX on Sunday at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. This marked the second Super Bowl title for the franchise after losing to New England in Super Bowl XLIX.

Seattle seized control early and dominated most of the game, especially on the defensive side of the ball. The Seahawks led 12-0 through three quarters thanks to field goals from Jason Myers.

The Seahawks defense consistently pressured Patriots quarterback Drake Maye, ultimately holding New England scoreless until the fourth quarter. The Seattle defense ultimately recorded six sacks and two interceptions.

While the Patriots mounted a late rally with a pair of fourth-quarter touchdowns, Seattle’s advantage was too large to overcome.

Key Players in the Game

Several Seahawks stood out in the title game. A few of those included:

  • Kenneth Walker III (RB) – Walker rushed for 135 yards on 27 carries and became the first running back to win a Super Bowl MVP honor in nearly three decades. His consistent ground attack kept Seattle in control and helped cement the victory.
  • Sam Darnold (QB) – Darnold managed the game effectively, throwing for 202 yards, a touchdown, and avoiding costly turnovers.
  • Devon Witherspoon (CB) and Uchenna Nwosu (Seahawks LB) – Seattle’s “Dark Side” defense dominated the line of scrimmage throughout the game, wreaking havoc on the New England offense. That included a key interception returned for a touchdown by Nwoso late in the fourth quarter.
  • Jason Myers (K) – Myers set a Super Bowl record with five made field goals, giving the Seahawks key points early in the game and a 12-0 after three quarters.

Betting Results: Winners, Over/Under & MVP Wagers

Seattle entered the game as a 4.5-point NFL betting favorite, according to FanDuel, and bettors backing the Seahawks were rewarded. Many books and futures bettors saw Seattle spread wagers and moneyline futures cash on Sunday night as the Seahawks not only won but covered comfortably.

Despite a notable seven-figure pre-game wager on the Patriots’ moneyline (+190), including a high-profile $1 million bet by rapper Drake that ultimately lost, Seattle’s victory meant big wins for those backing the Seahawks and losses for underdog moneyline action.

The final score of 29-13 meant the Under (total points under 45.5) hit across most sportsbooks, as the game stayed well below the posted over/under.

With Kenneth Walker III earning Super Bowl MVP honors, futures and prop bets on him paid off — though many early MVP boards had favored quarterbacks. Those who backed Walker at longer odds saw substantial returns.

In contrast, heavy betting interest on other player props such as first touchdown scorers or long rushing totals often fell short due to the defensive nature of the game and unusual field position dynamics.
