The New England Patriots will find it tough to move the ball against an elite Seattle Seahawks defense at Super Bowl 60 on Sunday.
That said, Seattle has been vulnerable against tight ends, which is why we’re betting on the Hunter Henry odds and backing him to have a big game.

Hunter Henry best bet for Super Bowl LX
Hunter Henry Over 39.5 receiving yards (-110)
Hunter Henry logged 45+ receiving yards in five of his last seven regular-season games before racking up 64 yards against the Chargers in the Wild Card Round.
Although the New England Patriots tight end had just three catches for 17 yards over the last two rounds, he has a more favorable matchup at Super Bowl 60.
The Seattle Seahawks have an elite defense, but have been vulnerable against tight ends. They allowed the sixth-most yards (1,080) to the position during the regular season. In the playoffs, they gave up 59 yards to Jake Tonges and 62 to Colby Parkinson.

Seattle plays zone at the fourth-highest rate in the NFL, and Henry boasted the fourth-highest receiving grade among tight ends against zone coverage per Pro Football Focus.

Drake Maye’s passing yards prop is hard to ignore.
The Patriots pivot spreads the ball well, and Sunday should bring the best passing weather Maye has seen in two months. With New England listed as 4.5-point underdogs, he could face a negative game script.
I’m expecting Maye to target Henry and his running backs on short and intermediate routes. That should lead to more tackling opportunities for Seahawks safety Nick Emmanwori, who is often asked to cover tight ends and backs. The standout rookie has tallied 6+ total tackles in four of his last seven games.
