Super Bowl 60: Patriots open as underdogs against Seattle in Super rematch

The Super Bowl is set.

The Patriots will face the NFC champion Seahawks in Super Bowl LX on Feb. 8 with kickoff scheduled for 6:30 p.m. at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif.

The Patriots advanced to their 11th Super Bowl with a 10-7 win over the Broncos in a snowy AFC Championship Game, then Seattle held on to beat the Rams 31-27 in the NFC title game.

Eleven years later, the Patriots and Seahawks will meet in a rematch of Super Bowl XLIX, a 28-24 New England win best remembered for Malcolm Butler’s goal-line interception in the final 30 seconds. The two teams last met in Sept. 2024 during an 23-20 Seattle win in overtime in Foxboro.

Patriots quarterback Drake Maye did not play in that game. Most of the Patriots’ roster has turned over since that loss, thanks to the arrival of head coach Mike Vrabel. Under Vrabel, the Pats have enjoyed one of the greatest one-year turnarounds in league history and own the best record in the league at 17-3.

Under second-year coach Mike Macdonald, the Seahwks went 14-3 during the regular season and clinched the No. 1 seed in the NFC. Seattle finished third in scoring offense at 28.4 points per game, just behind the second-ranked Pats. Defensively, the Seahawks led the league, allowing 17.2 points per game, while the Patriots ranked fourth at 18.8.

Seattle has opened as a 3.5-to-4.5-point favorite in Super Bowl LX across various sportsbooks.
