Betting Patriots-Seahawks: Edge to champs in Super Bowl rematch - ESPN
It's a Super Bowl rematch to start the season, and despite Seattle's dominant 29-13 win — which was even more one-sided than the final score implies — the Seahawks are only a 3-point favorite at home against the New England Patriots on Wednesday. The Seahawks' departures in the secondary (Coby Bryant, Riq Woolen) have put their defensive back depth under a microscope, and with a litany of preseason injuries entering the contest (Bud Clark on injured reserve; Nick Emmanwori and Ty Okada expected out), it could be an easier day through the air for the Patriots. The arrival of free agent receiver Romeo Doubs and trade acquisition A.J. Brown certainly help there as well.
