- Sportsbooks report steady sharp action on the under, moving the total from around 46.5 to 45–45.5, with Westgate and South Point citing professional bets driving the drop.

- The SportsLine Projection Model highlights anytime-touchdown value on Jaxon Smith-Njigba (projected to score in 65% of simulations) along with Rhamondre Stevenson and Kayshon Boutte for New England.
- A notable preseason exacta at Circa would return $310,000 on a $100 ticket if the Patriots beat the Seahawks, underscoring interest in longshot and exotic outcomes.
