THE New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks are the favorites to reach Super Bowl LX at Santa Clara, California.

The Patriots are 5.5-point road favorites over the Denver Broncos in the AFC Championship Game on Sunday. Denver’s chances took a big hit when standout quarterback Bo Nix broke his ankle in Saturday’s 33-30 overtime victory over the Buffalo Bills in the divisional round.

New England recorded a 28-16 home win over the Houston Texans on Sunday.

Seattle is 2.5-point home favorites over the NFC West-rival Los Angeles Rams in the NFC title game. It will be the third time the Seahawks and Rams meet this season.

Seattle steamrolled the visiting San Francisco 49ers, 41-6, on Saturday, while Los Angeles registered a 20-17 overtime victory over the host Chicago Bears on Sunday.

Seattle (+145) is listed as favorites to win the Super Bowl by DraftKings. The Rams (+210) are next in line and New England (+270) follows while the Broncos (+1100) are decisive long shots.

The Seahawks and Rams split the two regular-season meetings.

Seattle’s third and final regular-season setback was a 21-19 road loss to the Rams on Nov. 16. The Seahawks have since won eight straight games.

Seattle defeated Los Angeles, 38-37, at home in overtime on Dec. 18 when Sam Darnold tossed a game-ending two-point conversion pass to Eric Saubert.

DraftKings has set the over-under at 47.5 for this matchup. The Rams posted a 34-31 road win over the host Carolina Panthers in the wild-card round on Jan. 10 prior to beating the Bears.

The Patriots and Broncos are meeting for the first time since Christmas Eve 2023 when New England won 26-23 in Denver. Bailey Zappe (Patriots) and Russell Wilson (Broncos) were the quarterbacks. — Reuters
