The Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots square off at Levi’s Stadium to be crowned Super Bowl champions.
Veteran tight end Hunter Henry will look to help New England secure its seventh Super Bowl title — and the first of his career.
The Seahawks enter as -4.5 favorites with -238 moneyline odds on DraftKings Sportsbook. The Patriots sit as a +195 underdog, with the game total set at 45.5 points.
There are plenty of ways to get involved in the action beyond backing a side or total. This article will take a look at Hunter Henry’s outlook for scoring a touchdown and why there is some intriguing value in the DraftKings’ prop market.
Hunter Henry’s Touchdown Outlook for the 2026 Super Bowl
Hunter Henry suited up for all 17 games of the 2025 regular season, catching 60 of his 87 targets for 768 receiving yards and a team-high seven touchdowns. This marked the third-most receiving scores of his career, and his most since hauling in nine in his first season with the Pats in 2021.
Across three playoff matchups, Henry has logged six receptions for 81 yards and a touchdown.
The Seattle Seahawks have a strong overall defense, which has been the identity of their team. They allowed the NFL’s seventh-fewest passing yards and sixth-fewest yards, while surrendering the fewest points in football.
However, Seattle has been vulnerable against opposing tight ends. Across the regular season, the Seahawks allowed an average of 6.1 receptions for 63.9 receiving yards per game to the position. They also gave up the fifth-most receptions and sixth-most receiving yards to opposing TEs. Still, Seattle ranked within the league’s top ten in fewest touchdowns allowed to the position.
During Seattle’s first postseason matchup with the 49ers, tight end Jake Tonges was San Francisco’s leading receiver with five receptions for 59 yards. He did not log a touchdown, nor did anyone else on his team. Neither did Rams TE Colby Parkinson, who tallied three receptions for 62 yards.
Henry currently holds +235 odds of an anytime touchdown, the second-best odds for New England behind Rhamondre Stevenson. And while the Seahawks boast a stout defense, Henry is Drake Maye’s top pass-catching option in the red zone — one that could exploit Seattle’s struggles against tight ends.
The game total is set at 45.5 points for this matchup, and the Patriots’ team total sits at 19.5. With an implied probability that New England should score at least two touchdowns, I am backing the +235 odds on Hunter Henry to account for at least one of them.
Even while being a bit underutilized in the postseason thus far, the Super Bowl matchup against Seattle’s defense, paired with Henry’s role as the top red-zone target, makes +235 too good to pass up.
