The NFL returns with a Super Bowl LX rematch between the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks to kick off the 2026-27 season on Wednesday night at Lumen Field. The Seahawks begin their championship defense after their 29-13 win back in February, while the Patriots aim to get revenge and start the season with a victory.
Who wins the game is important, but there are plenty of other ways to get involved at Hard Rock Bet Sportsbook beyond simply picking the winner on the moneyline or looking at the basic spread and total markets. There are a wide variety of football betting markets available for Wednesday night’s NFL season opener between the Patriots and Seahawks, as well as every other matchup throughout the season, including player props and game props.
Best Player Prop Bets and Predictions for Patriots vs. Seahawks
Below, we’ll highlight a few of the best props for Patriots vs. Seahawks based on insights and trends from Hard Rock Bet Sportsbook’s Stats Hub:
Drake Maye Over 224.5 Passing Yards (-150)
Drake Maye enjoyed a breakout season as the Patriots’ full-time starting quarterback last year, finishing second in NFL MVP voting behind Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford and leading the league with a 72% completion percentage. Maye’s 4,394 passing yards were the fourth most in the NFL, while his 31 touchdown passes ranked third, and he did all of that with a relatively underwhelming supporting cast led by veteran wide receiver Stefon Diggs, who just cracked the 1,000-yard mark.
The Patriots went out and got Maye major help in the receiving room by trading for former Philadelphia Eagles Pro Bowl wide receiver A.J. Brown and signing former Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs to a four-year, $68 million contract in free agency. Brown has been one of the most dominant wide receivers in the NFL since entering the league with Tennessee in 2019, surpassing the 1,000-yard mark in six of his seven seasons, including back-to-back 1,400-yard campaigns with Philadelphia in 2022 and 2023. Doubs, meanwhile, has proven to be a more than capable No. 2 wideout in this league.
The Seahawks’ secondary was a strong unit last season and should be again in 2026, with Pro Bowl cornerback Devon Witherspoon leading the charge. However, Maye threw for 295 yards and two touchdowns against Seattle just a few months ago in the Super Bowl. The Stats Hub also notes that Maye has recorded 222 or more passing yards in each of the Patriots’ last nine regular-season road games.
- Drake Maye Over 224.5 Passing Yards (-150)
A.J. Brown Over 64.5 Receiving Yards (-120)
Speaking of A.J. Brown, if Maye is going to throw for all those yards Wednesday night, he’ll likely be targeting his new wide receiver quite often. Brown may not have had the season he would’ve liked in Philadelphia last year, but he now has the chance to work with one of the NFL’s more accurate quarterbacks, who also finished in the top four in passing yards a season ago.
He’s on a new team with a different scheme and a new quarterback, but the Stats Hub notes that Brown has recorded 68 or more receiving yards in each of his last four road appearances. Look for the wideout to make a strong first impression with his new team.
- A.J. Brown Over 64.5 Receiving Yards (-120)
AJ Barner Over 25.5 Receiving Yards (-115)
AJ Barner may not be the Seahawks’ top offensive weapon, but the third-year tight end really started to make a name for himself in 2025. After recording just 30 receptions for 245 receiving yards during his rookie season, Barner caught 52 passes on 68 targets for 519 yards and six touchdowns while starting all 17 games for Seattle last year.
Barner also notably recorded 54 receiving yards and caught a touchdown in the Seahawks’ Super Bowl win over the Patriots back in February, further proving that he’s a key contributor in the offense. The Stats Hub notes that Barner has recorded 27 or more receiving yards in five of the Seahawks’ last six regular-season games, making his current receiving yardage line an intriguing one for Wednesday night’s matchup.
- AJ Barner Over 25.5 Receiving Yards (-115)
