Team News
Robert Spillane didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, throwing his availability in doubt, however, tight end Hunter Henry, wide receiver Mack Hollins, offensive tackle Morgan Moses and running back Terrell Jennings were taken off the injury report.
Drake Maye was a full participant alongside Joshua Farmer.
As for the Seahawks, rookie safety Nick Emmanwori injured his ankle during the team's first padded practice ahead of the big game, and head coach Mike Macdonald is hoping the injury isn't too severe.
Robbie Ouzts remains a limited participant after missing the NFC Championship Game with a neck injury, as does quarterback Sam Darnold due to an oblique issue, but that's something he's played with throughout the play-offs.
New England Patriots vs Seattle Seahawks Odds
The Seahawks are 4/9 favourites on the money line, giving them an implied win probability of 69.2%, while the Patriots are 15/8. Seattle are the same price to win the match in normal time, and the draw is 11/1 and it's 2/1 for New England.
Kenneth Walker leads the anytime touchdown scorer market at 8/15, while Rhamondre Stevenson is shortest-priced for the Patriots at 10/11.
Price Boost - Seattle Seahawks to win by 13+ points @ 11/5 13/5
I know what you're thinking - 13 points is quite the margin and did you see the Patriots during the regular season? I know, and I did, but hear me out.
There's no doubting New England's attacking quality, and with the added incentive of surpassing the Pittsburgh Steelers in terms of Super Bowl wins, they could put on a superb offensive display on Sunday.
However, they had the weakest regular-season schedule in the league, which is worth considering when analysing their 14-3 record, and they only played four teams who qualified for the post-season, finishing 2-2 against those sides.
I'm leaning towards a Seattle win, mainly due to their defence. They rank top in defensive DVOA (defensive efficiency, basically) in the entire NFL, 12 spots ahead of their opponents on Sunday. In addition, we've just seen what their defence is capable of in the NFC Championship Game against the Los Angeles Rams.
In terms of offensive firepower, the Seahawks have that in spades. Kenneth Walker, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Cooper Kupp - take your pick. In my opinion, Seattle are a more complete team heading into Sunday's showdown, and they'll be able to contain Maye enough so that he can't compete with Darnold and the Seahawks offence.

Kenneth Walker - first touchdown scorer @ 7/2
Who else but K9?
Walker will be a major factor in Sunday's game and he's a key cog in this Seahawks offence. In the Conference Championship game, Walker opened the scoring with a two-yard run, and if the Seahawks are to score first, which I believe they will, it's most likely going to be Walker or Smith-Njigba.
Get Seattle five or 10 yards of the end zone and watch Walker put on a clinic.
