Analysis & Breakdown

The Patriot Way

What's the Patriot Way? Winning games, no matter how ugly it gets.

Last week's matchup with the Broncos was exactly that. It was cold, snowy and winds were blowing every which way. The game saw less than 400 total yards between the two teams, just 17 total points and a scoreless fourth quarter.

Drake Maye threw for a season low 86 yards, completed fewer than 50% of his passes, but he did run in the one and only Patriots touchdown. Against Houston, Maye threw for 179 yards, 3 touchdowns, 1 interception and he lost 2 fumbles.

In the postseason, Maye's played three games and he's completing just 55.8% of his passes, averaging 177.7 pass yards per game, with 4 touchdown passes and 5 total turnovers. It hasn't been pretty, but that's why there's two sides of the football.

New England leads all playoff teams in opponent points allowed (8.7/game), opponent yards (208.7/game), takeaways (8) and sacks (12.0). During the regular season, this defense ranks 4th in points allowed, 9th in pass yards allowed and with Christian Gonzalez back on the field; one of the most feared corners in the game.

The Patriots are built to win ugly, but their also built to win pretty. Maye's been an MVP candidate for most of the year and he's just in his first year as the team's full time starter. This game's shaping up to be one for the books and I couldn't be more excited.

Legion of Doom

The Seahawks have been phenomenal on both sides of the ball, but without this defense it's hard to imagine a world in which they make it this far. The Hawks rank 1st in points allowed, 1st in opponent EPA/play (-0.113), 3rd in opponent rush yards and 2nd in opponent yards per play. They've got the the 5th best redzone defense, rank 6th in total sacks and have forced the 5th most turnovers.

Both their coverage unit and defensive line have been graded in the top five this year and the mastermind behind it all is Head Coach Mike Macdonald. In just his second year as a head coach, Macdonald's built one of the toughest defenses in the NFL and his defensive playbook is deeper than some offensive playbooks I've seen.

On the offensive side, it's been a Klint Kubiak masterclass. He's running this Seahawks offense to perfection and it's lead to the NFL's 3rd best offense, averaging 28.4 points per game. The team ranks 8th in pass yards, 10th in rush yards and 3rd in yards per play. The problem with Seattle's offense has been Sam Darnold's turnovers.

Darnold lead the league with 20 total turnovers, 14 interceptions and 6 fumbles lost. If not for his defense forcing 25 turnovers of their own, this Seahawks team might look very different. Darnold definitely looked like a top 10 QB this year but the turnover issues are something to monitor going into the big game.

Varun's Best Bets

Mack Hollins o24.5 Receiving Yards (-110) | Lucky Rebel

Mack Hollins made his return to the field last week and despite seeing just 2 targets, he reeled in both for 51 yards in the frigid temperatures of Denver, Colorado. Hollins has also cleared this line in 9 of his L11 games, averaging 5.3 targets and 50.8 receiving yards per game.

Hollins and Maye have developed a connection that's been a ton of fun to watch and one that usually includes use of the deep ball. He's seeing an average depth of target of 13.3 yards/target, he hasn't dropped a single ball this season and he's getting a majority of his snaps out wide.

Maye finished the year top-10 in deep throw rate and Hollins sits second on the team in targets of 20+ yards. The Seahawks are giving up nearly 70% of their receiving production to outside wide receivers this year and it's why this line just feels a little low.

Byron Murphy II to Record a Sack (+170)| Lucky Rebel

Might sound a little strange at first, but Byron Murphy II is in his second year in the NFL and he's been fantastic. He's got 7.0 sacks on the year and despite not recording a sack so far in the postseason, he's been a key part of this defensive line. Murphy leads the Seahawks in pass rush win rate so far in the playoffs and he's been able to generate 7 pressures doing it; just no sacks.

Murphy's also playing on the right side of that defensive line, at the DT spot. The Patriots have given up 5 sacks so far in the postseason and 67% of those sacks have come from the left side of that offensive line. During the regular season it was more of the same, of the 73% of sacks that could be attributed to the offensive line, 45% of that came from the left side; mainly from the interior.

The kid's due to record his first ever postseason sack and what better game to do in.

Danny's Best Bets

We've finally made it to the big game. It's always a bittersweet feeling during the two-week lead-up to the Super Bowl, but hopefully we're in for a heck of a game. And of course, with it comes a plethora of betting opportunities.

I also took a few shots in the Super Bowl MVP market. You can click here for a more in-depth breakdown of the players I'll be sweating to take home the award.

Kenneth Walker o20.5 Receiving Yards (-114) | Lucky Rebel

The first bet I placed was Kenneth Walker to go over his 20.5 receiving yard line. Walker has played a meaningful role in the passing game for much of the season, but we've seen a noticeable uptick in that involvement since his backfield mate, Zach Charbonnet, went down with an injury in the NFC Divisional Round.

In that game, Sam Darnold targeted Walker three times. He caught all three passes and turned them into 29 yards. In the NFC Championship Game, Walker hauled in all four of his targets for 49 yards against the Rams. He's directly benefiting from consistent volume, and when Darnold feels pressure in the backfield – which he should, given the defensive approach we're likely to see from New England – he'll look to check the ball down to one of his top playmakers.

Walker has been excellent at creating space in the passing game, and I expect more of the same in the Super Bowl. During the regular season, opposing running backs averaged over 30 receiving yards on roughly five catches per game against the Patriots. They've shown vulnerability to backs through the air, which sets Walker up to make an impact in that department.

Sam Darnold o2.5 Rushing Attempts (+115) | Lucky Rebel

Credit to our resident intern, Alex Bohling, for shouting this one out on one of our shows last week. The price is sitting as high as +115, which is appealing on its own, but the path to the over is there as well.

While mobility isn't typically associated with Darnold, we've seen him use his legs more frequently as of late. He logged three carries in the AFC Championship Game, none in the Divisional Round blowout where scrambling wasn't necessary, and he closed the regular season on a five-game streak with at least three rushing attempts in each contest.

One key factor here is the potential for kneel-downs. I'm expecting the Seahawks to win this game, which opens the door for those late-game rushing attempts to help push this prop over the number if Darnold doesn't get there through scrambles earlier.

More From Danny

As for the game overall, as I mentioned, I do believe the Seahawks come out on top. That said, the recent improvements from this New England defense give me some pause when it comes to laying -4.5 with Seattle preflop.

I'm not entirely convinced the Patriots defense is as dominant as it's looked over the past month, or if that's simply been a byproduct of their competition. New England played the league's easiest schedule during the regular season and graded out as more of an average defense overall, but they've shown a noticeable uptick in the postseason – particularly in the red zone.

Even so, the Seahawks are the more complete team, and I still expect them to finish on top. Rather than laying the number pregame, I'll be looking to attack Seattle live and hopefully grab a better number than -4.5.
