Seahawks open NFL season as favourites in Super Bowl rematch
CBS Sports outlines betting lines and sportsbook promotions for Seattle’s season opener against New England, while warning that offers and odds may change.
The Seattle Seahawks will host the New England Patriots at Lumen Field on 9 September in the NFL Kickoff Game, a rematch of last season’s Super Bowl, which Seattle won 29–13.
CBS Sports lists the reigning champions as 3.5-point favourites, with the over/under set at 44.5 points. The game will be only the third time the previous season’s Super Bowl teams have met in Week 1, according to the publication.
The betting guide details promotions from DraftKings, bet365, Hard Rock Bet, FanDuel, Caesars, BetMGM and Fanatics. The offers include bonus bets, profit boosts and FanCash, with different wagering, expiry and redemption conditions attached.
CBS Sports’ model projects Seattle to cover the spread in 64 per cent of simulations. It gives the total a 53 per cent chance of exceeding 44.5 points.
The Seahawks largely retained their core during the off-season but face salary-cap pressure and departures in free agency, including running back Kenneth Walker III. The team selected Notre Dame running back Jadarian Price in the first round.
The reported odds and promotions are subject to change and were not independently verified in the source material.
