NFL

Patriots vs. Seahawks

Wednesday September 9, 2026 (10:01 am EDT)

Probably the most wagered on match of these last few months in North America as the new NFL season kicks off with a bang Wednesday night with a repeat of the Super Bowl between New England and Seattle.  The Seahawks are a -3.5 favorite in this one.  The Patriots have now replaced the Stefon Diggs/Kayshon Boutte combination with A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs.  The Seahawks take a little stop back as Kenneth Walker III, the Super Bowl MVP, left for Kansas City. Seattle used its first-round pick on Notre Dame RB Jadarian Price, who is very talented, but tonight will be his first NFL regular-season game. Replacing a proven Super Bowl MVP with a rookie is a downgrade until Price proves otherwise.
