The Seattle Seahawks are seeking Super Bowl glory on Sunday, February 8, and we have picked out some player prop bets for the key figures in the clash with the New England Patriots.

Sam Darnold – Over 228.5 Passing Yards @ -111

New England’s stout run defense means Seattle will have to lean more on the arm of Sam Darnold in this one. That approach paid off in the NFC Championship Game as he threw for 346 yards and three touchdowns, and that was the 11th time that he has gone over 228.5 yards passing this season. Interestingly, of those 11 games, seven of them came away from Lumen Field, so Darnold does not need the friendly confines of home to deliver through the air. With the help of Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Cooper Kupp and AJ Barner, Darnold can go over the total in Super Bowl LX.

Kenneth Walker III – Under 73.5 Rushing Yards @ -111

Kenneth Walker III’s importance to the Seattle offense has increased due to the injury to Zach Charbonnet. He dominated San Francisco in the Wild Card round, rushing for 116 yards and three touchdowns, but he had a much quieter day in the NFC Championship Game as he was held to 62 yards on the ground and one score. That was the 11th time in his last 14 appearances that he went under 73.5 on the ground, and that could become 12 in 15 here. This New England defense was top five in rushing yards allowed per game this season, and they could pay special attention to Walker III and force Darnold to beat them with his arm 

Kenneth Walker III – Over 21.5 Receiving Yards @ -111

That being said, Walker could still be set for a successful day at the office. Quick passes will be one way to punish New England’s blitzing, and the running back has proved to be a reliable safety valve for his quarterback. Walker III has gone over 21.5 yards receiving in four of his last five games and in each of his postseason appearances.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba – Over 91.5 Receiving Yards @ -111

Jaxon Smith-Njigba has been a massive weapon for Seattle this season, and we expect him to make a splash in the biggest game of them all. JSN put on a show during the NFC Championship Game, as he caught 10 of his 12 targets for 153 yards and a touchdown, and he will almost certainly see plenty of targets from Sam Darnold in this one too, especially if New England take away the Seahawks’ run game. Smith-Njigba has gone over 91.5 yards receiving on 14 occasions this season, and that could become 15 in Santa Clara.

DeMarcus Lawrence – To Record A Sack @ +132

DeMarcus Lawrence has been a major player in Seattle’s dominant defense, and he enters the Super Bowl on the back of a couple of impactful playoff performances. Through two games he has racked up 2.0 sacks, three tackles for loss, four quarterback hits and three forced fumbles. Lawrence now comes up against a New England offensive line that gave up an average of 3.2 sacks per game this season, and through three playoff games has allowed 15 sacks. Lawrence should have opportunities to get to Drake Maye in this game, and we are backing him at least record one sack.
