The Seahawks -2.1 EPA per rush is best in the NFL this season, despite coach Mike Macdonald’s team playing nickel coverage at the highest rate in the NFL. The Patriots won’t beat the Seahawks by throwing deep against Seattle’s 2-high safety coverage, and Patriots QB Drake Maye’s right shoulder injury in the AFC Championship Game and questions about how effective he will be throwing downfield won’t be known until we see him in live action Sunday. That’s why live/in-game betting can be more effective and is so popular with BetOnline, delivering a positive experience on their betting platform.
With deep passes less frequent for the Patriots against a Seahawks defense that ranks No. 4 in passing success rate allowed, we can expect to see plenty of short passes, screens, and dump-offs by Maye. Those passes could go more to his most targeted and versatile rookie RB TreVeyon Henderson, who led the league with a 56% success rate against split safety looks by all qualified running backs this season. Henderson led the Patriots in rushing (911) this season, but his usage has declined dramatically with Rhamondre Stevenson being the go-to running back more in the playoffs. Stevenson has also run a pass route on nearly 57% of QB Maye dropbacks in the postseason (up 5% from regular season), and Seahawks opponents led the league with 7.5 running back targets per game against Seattle’s defense. Including the playoffs, opposing running backs have been targeted 4 or more times in 18 of 19 games against the Seahawks.
Also, with the Seahawks defense playing the second-highest nickel rate in the league and allowing 5.0 yards per rush and a 43% success rate on designed runs for those looks, we expect the Patriots to have Stevenson getting plenty of rushing opportunities as well. Stevenson also led the NFL with 2.8 yards after contact per rush. Perhaps fewer yards rushing, but sticking to it, knowing that Seattle’s defense ranks No. 1 in rushing success rate allowed. Still, the Patriots went with more jumbo looks and an added offensive lineman over their last eight game,s averaging better than 6.0 yards per rush with backup tackle Munford lined up as an extra offensive lineman. The game script, matchups, and potential to get Henderson and Stevenson a few more touches in space set up some of the Patriots’ player props we’ve targeted on the running backs.
“With two dual-threat backs in Rhamondre Stevenson and rookie TreVeyon Henderson, the Patriots must create an offensive tempo by running the ball, while also getting them to contribute in the pass game,” former NFL defensive back and current ESPN analyst and writer Matt Bowen wrote on Friday. “Henderson gives the Patriots more juice on the perimeter and big-play ability, as he had 18 rushes of 10 or more yards this season. With the zone coverage tendencies of the Seattle defense, Stevenson and Henderson can produce as underneath outlets for Maye.”
Bonus Prop: Patriots team total under 20.5 points.
