Game Preview
Total receiving yards by Brandon LaFell?
Over 50.5 (-105)
Under 50.5 (-125)
LaFell's been a surprisingly large part of the Patriots' offense this season, hauling in four or more passes in eight consecutive games and 12 of the team's last 13 contests. However, he was completely shut out the last time he faced the Seahawks' secondary, which gave up more than 50 receiving yards to just 11 wide receivers this season. - Gino Bottero
Pick: Under 50.5 (-125)
Longest completion by Tom Brady?
Over 37.5 (-115)
Under 37.5 (-115)
Brady completed a pass longer than 37.5 yards in eight games this season (including the Patriots' divisional playoff victory over the Ravens), but just one of those came against a top-five defense. New England deploys an offense that relies heavily on short passes, which could be the key to overcoming the Seahawks' top-ranked defense. - Caitlyn Holroyd
Pick: Under 37.5 (-115)
Total receiving yards by Rob Gronkowski?
Over 79.5 (+110)
Under 79.5 (-129)
There's no question Gronkowski is the NFL's best tight end, but all that does is put a target on his back. The Seahawks will do their best to take Gronk out of the game, and their linebackers and safeties are capable of doing so. Gronkowski went over 79.5 yards in just eight of his 18 games played this season, and now he's expected to do so against the league's most dominant defense? With a full two weeks to prepare, Seattle should be able to keep Gronk in check. - Rob Pizzola
Pick: Under 79.5 (-129)
Total receptions by Rob Gronkowski?
Over 5.5 (-140)
Under 5.5 (+110)
With the Patriots taking on a strong Seattle secondary, and the wide receivers likely having a difficult time creating separation on the outside, Tom Brady should be looking to Gronkowski over the middle throughout the game. Though he'll have a tough matchup of his own - likely drawing the Seahawks' safeties in coverage - Gronkowski will get more than enough opportunities to reach six catches on the day. - Dan Wilkins
Pick: Over 5.5 (-140)
Total rushing attempts by Russell Wilson?
Over 7.5 (-105)
Over 7.5 (-125)
Wilson averaged 7.3 rushing attempts per game in the regular season and hit seven on the nose in each of the Seahawks' two playoff games. Take over 7½ on Sunday. We saw the Seahawks' receivers struggle mightily against the Packers and things won't get any easier against an excellent Patriots secondary. Look for the Patriots to stack the box against Marshawn Lynch and single-cover each receiver, leaving Wilson's rushing prowess as the Seahawks' best offensive weapon. - David P. Woods
Pick: Over 7.5 (-105)
