Yet another major game without New York representation.
The Giants and Jets were nowhere near Super Bowl LX this year. With John Harbaugh stepping in, the Giants have newfound optimism, but everyone is aware that the coming months will be challenging, waiting for Aaron Glenn’s departure and a fresh start for the Jets.
Meanwhile, a former Jets quarterback is competing for the championship against their rivals, along with some ex-Giants on defense. This offers a few New York betting opportunities for the game.
Sam Darnold over 240 yards (+108): We expect the Seahawks might be trailing, requiring Darnold to throw more. New England’s pass defense is strong, but if they lead, Darnold might accumulate yards from volume.
Leonard Williams over 0.25 sacks (+126): Williams, formerly of the Giants and Jets, has had just one sack in seven games. However, Patriots’ Drake Maye has been sacked 15 times this postseason, giving Seattle’s defense a chance to pressure him.
Julian Love over 4.5 tackles/assists (-101): New England’s ground game strategy should provide opportunities for the ex-Giants safety to make tackles.
FG or XP attempt hits the goalpost (+600): A whimsical choice based on a gut feeling.
Patriots (+190): We believe New England can control the game with their running strategy, forcing the Seahawks into crucial errors. If successful, former Giants coach Ben McAdoo, now with the Patriots, could win a ring.
Darnold to win Super Bowl MVP (+120): Should Seattle win, Darnold has a strong chance for MVP, offering better value than the Seahawks moneyline (-230). This can also serve as a hedge for New England backers.
At NY sports betting apps, Seattle is favored by 4.5 points, with a total points line of 45.5.
