The New England Patriots will challenge for their first title in the post-Tom Brady era, taking on the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl LX at Levi’s Stadium.
It’s a familiar matchup for the Pats, who famously secured a game-winning interception at the one-yard line to beat the Seahawks in the Big Game back in 2015.
The Patriots will shoot for a similar, albeit far less nerve-racking, result on Sunday night. They’ll lean on MVP finalist Drake Maye and his pass-catchers, including star wideout Stefon Diggs.
Kickoff is set for 6:30 p.m. ET. Seattle enters as a 4.5-point favorite, while New England sits as a +195 underdog. The game’s total is set at 45.5 points.
Ahead of Super Bowl Sunday, here’s my favorite Stefon Diggs prop bet on DraftKings Sportsbook.
Best Stefon Diggs Prop Bet for Super Bowl LX
Best Bet: Stefon Diggs 5+ Receptions (-121)
Stefon Diggs looked right at home during his first season in New England. With MVP finalist Drake Maye under center, the veteran wideout hauled in 85 receptions for 1,013 yards and four touchdowns — logging five or more receptions in 10 of 17 games.
The 32-year-old Diggs has remained Maye’s primary target in the playoffs, leading the Patriots with 11 receptions on 17 targets across three games. The Maryland product now heads into his first career Super Bowl appearance, hot on the heels of a five-catch performance in the AFC Championship against a stout Broncos defense.
Diggs should see a similar workload against Seattle. The Seahawks’ league-best defense is especially dominant against the run, which should push the Pats to keep the ball in Maye’s hands — continually deferring to his top receiver.
Expect Diggs to remain heavily involved in New England’s attack and corral at least five receptions on Super Bowl Sunday.
