The Road to Glory: Seattle's Super Bowl Bet Builder
In this Bet Builder, we're looking at a 21/1 punt, which includes some key predictions for the big game.
Alternate Handicap: Seahawks -6.5
Sam is confident in Seattle's victory and believes they have what it takes to dominate. While the Patriots have had an easier schedule this season, the Seahawks have consistently proven their all-around excellence. They rank top in defensive DVOA, showcasing their strong defense, and are just a few spots behind the Patriots in offensive DVOA.
Kenneth Walker: 5+ Rushing Yards in Drive 1
Despite not being the most efficient rushing team, the Seahawks have utilized their running game effectively. With Sam Darnold leading the charge, the Seahawks have a dynamic duo at running back, including Kenneth Walker. Walker has averaged an impressive 4.7 yards per carry this season, and with the Seahawks' tendency to rush multiple times in the opening drive, he's almost guaranteed to surpass the 5-yard mark.
Rashid Shaheed: Over 4.5 Rushing Yards
With Zach Charbonnet out due to injury, the Seahawks' running back depth chart has shifted. George Holani steps up behind Kenneth Walker, but it's Rashid Shaheed's unique skill set that could make him a game-changer. Shaheed has averaged an astonishing 8.0 yards per carry, and with his versatility as a running back, receiver, and special teams player, he's a threat the Patriots will need to watch out for.
Rashid Shaheed: Anytime Touchdown
Sam Farley doubles down on Shaheed's potential impact. With a unique athletic profile, Shaheed is a coach's dream, as he can contribute in multiple ways. He's already scored three times since joining the Seahawks, and with his speed and elusiveness, he's a real threat to find the end zone.
