Super Bowl 60 Longshot Prediction: Sam Darnold & Drake Maye Pass Completions & Pass Attempts<\/h2>\n\n- Sam Darnold 24+ Completions & Drake Maye 24+ Completions (+1200)<\/li>\n
- Sam Darnold 32+ Pass Attempts & Drake Maye 32+ Pass Attempts (+600)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The quarterback longshots are based on the fact that both teams have incredible run defenses.<\/p>\n
Also, both offenses are elite when throwing the ball and less successful when running the ball.<\/p>\n
Including the playoffs, this matchup features the top two passing offenses in the league in terms of success rate.<\/p>\n
The Seahawks rank first with a 53.4% dropback success rate, and the Patriots are second with a 52.6% success rate.<\/p>\n
Rushing success rate is a different story, with both teams ranking\u00a0in the bottom 10 in terms of rushing success rate.<\/p>\n
Sam<\/strong> Darnold<\/strong> and Drake Maye<\/strong> trailed only Brock<\/strong> Purdy<\/strong> amongst all NFL quarterbacks in success rate in 2025.<\/p>\nAlthough Darnold is prone to catastrophic mistakes, the Seahawks\u2019 passing offense was efficient on a down-to-down basis.<\/p>\n
Including playoffs, the Seahawks' rush defense has allowed a league-low 36% success rate this year.<\/p>\n
The Patriots offense has struggled to run consistently, and the Seahawks defense has been dominant against the run consistently, increasing the possibility that the Patriots pass more than expected.<\/p>\n
The same is true for the Seahawks offense against the Patriots defense.<\/p>\n
The Patriots season long stats do not reflect the true ability of the defense, as the defense has drastically different stats with and without Milton<\/strong> Williams<\/strong> on the field.<\/p>\nOpponents have had a 31.6% rushing success rate in three playoff games against the Patriots, who have held opponents to 3.1 yards per rush in the playoffs.<\/p>\n
The Patriots trailed at halftime just once all season, and they were tied at halftime one other time.<\/p>\n
Maye had 28 and 31 completions in those two games.<\/p>\n
Neither of these two teams lost a game by more than 7 points all season, which would help both quarterbacks remain aggressive.<\/p>\n
Darnold\u2019s season high in completions came in two losses against the Rams and Buccaneers, but like the Patriots, the Seahawks were successful in building early leads.<\/p>\n
The Seahawks and Patriots ranked first and second in first-half point margin.<\/p>\n
They were the only teams with a +100 or better first-half point differential.<\/p>\n
A competitive game state would be favorable for a quarterback longshot parlay.<\/p>\n\t
