The National Football League’s Super Bowl 60 takes center stage on Sunday, February 8, with the New England Patriots facing the Seattle Seahawks. This marquee event anchors a packed day of sports, which also includes a four-game NBA schedule and 11 college basketball matchups, all drawing significant attention from sports enthusiasts and betting markets alike.
NFL: Super Bowl 60 – Patriots vs. Seahawks
The New England Patriots, under the guidance of first-year head coach Mike Vrabel, have engineered a remarkable turnaround, posting a 14-3 regular-season record. This performance stands in stark contrast to the team’s challenging 4-13 finishes in each of the preceding two seasons, marking a swift return to championship contention. Vrabel now stands on the precipice of delivering a record seventh Super Bowl championship to the Patriots franchise, which would break their current tie with the Pittsburgh Steelers for the most titles in NFL history.
The monumental contest is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. ET at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. For Vrabel, the game holds additional historical significance. A three-time Super Bowl champion as a linebacker for the Patriots, he has the opportunity to become only the third individual to win the NFL’s ultimate prize as both a player and a head coach. This exclusive club currently includes Mike Ditka and Tony Dungy. Should Vrabel succeed, he would etch his name further into history as the first to achieve this dual feat with the same franchise, underscoring his profound impact on the New England organization.

New England’s formidable path to Super Bowl 60 included a dominant postseason run where they defeated the Los Angeles Chargers, Houston Texans, and Denver Broncos. This journey marks their record 12th appearance in the Super Bowl. Their opponents, the Seattle Seahawks, earned their fourth Super Bowl berth by overcoming the San Francisco 49ers and the Los Angeles Rams in the playoffs.
The latest consensus NFL odds position the Seattle Seahawks as 4.5-point favorites over the New England Patriots. Betting insights from SportsLine suggest a defensive battle is anticipated. The SportsLine Projection Model, which simulates games thousands of times, indicates that the total score will fall Under 45.5 points, with this outcome occurring in 59% of its simulations. This projection is supported by the teams’ recent defensive performances; the Seahawks have allowed an average of 16.5 points per game during the postseason, while the Patriots have been even more stringent, conceding just 8.7 points per game and only two total touchdowns across their three playoff victories. Seattle’s defense also notably limited the San Francisco 49ers to just two field goals in their initial playoff encounter.
Further individual player analysis from SportsLine’s prop bet expert, PropBetGuy, who boasts a 68-45 record and a +1635 return on his last 113 NFL player prop picks, suggests that Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins will exceed 24.5 receiving yards. Hollins has demonstrated consistent involvement in the Patriots’ aerial attack, surpassing this receiving yardage total in nine of his last 11 contests.
The Super Bowl 60 broadcast will be carried live on NBC, with streaming available via Fubo (trial subscriptions may be available).
NBA: Pacers at Raptors
Beyond the gridiron, the NBA slate features four games on Sunday, including an Eastern Conference matchup between the Indiana Pacers (13-39) and the host Toronto Raptors (31-22). Tip-off is scheduled for 3 p.m. ET at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto.
The Raptors enter the game seeking to complete a clean sweep of their four-game season series against the Pacers, a significant accomplishment in divisional play. Toronto has demonstrated a solid, though not dominant, home record this season at 15-12, and they have won two of the first three contests on their current five-game homestand. Conversely, the Pacers arrive in Toronto struggling, carrying a three-game losing streak and an abysmal 3-21 road record. Indiana commenced a six-game road trip on Friday with a 105-99 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks and has historically found difficulty in Toronto, losing their last three visits to the Scotiabank Arena.
In their previous three meetings this season, two of Indiana’s losses to Toronto were by margins of 14 points or more, underscoring the Raptors’ dominance in the series. The SportsLine Projection Model aligns with this trend, forecasting another comfortable victory for the home team. The model’s simulations show Toronto covering the 9.5-point spread in 60% of instances.
From an individual player perspective, SportsLine NBA expert Mike Barner, who has achieved a 34-12 record and a +1982 return on his last 46 NBA player prop picks, recommends taking Scottie Barnes to exceed 33.5 Points + Assists + Rebounds. Barnes has been particularly effective against the Pacers this season, averaging 21.3 points, 9.3 rebounds, and 7.7 assists across the first three matchups.
The Pacers-Raptors game will be available for viewing on NBA League Pass, with streaming options also provided by Fubo.
College Basketball: UCF at Cincinnati
The collegiate hardwood also presents a compelling schedule of 11 games on Sunday, highlighted by a Big 12 Conference showdown. The UCF Knights (17-5) will travel to Fifth Third Arena to face the Cincinnati Bearcats (11-12) at 2 p.m. ET.
UCF arrives in Cincinnati after having its three-game winning streak snapped by the eighth-ranked Houston Cougars last Wednesday, a contest where they were held to a season-low 55 points. Prior to that, the Knights had displayed a potent offensive attack, scoring at least 79 points in each of their three preceding games. Their season average of 82.9 points per game places them tied for sixth in the highly competitive Big 12 conference, showcasing their offensive capabilities.
The Cincinnati Bearcats, on the other hand, have experienced a challenging stretch, losing four of their last five contests. The Bearcats average 70.7 points per game, but their defense has shown vulnerabilities recently, surrendering 76 points or more in three of their last five outings.
Despite Cincinnati being a 3.5-point favorite in the latest odds, SportsLine’s projections for this Big 12 clash lean towards a high-scoring affair. The SportsLine Projection Model forecasts the total score to go Over 145.5 points, with this outcome occurring in more than 57% of its simulations, suggesting that points will not be at a premium.
SportsLine expert Bruce Marshall provides an alternative perspective on the spread, endorsing UCF +3.5. Marshall’s analysis suggests that despite the Knights’ previous encounter with Cincinnati resulting in a narrow one-point home victory last month, UCF is poised to cover the spread on the road and potentially sweep the season series against the Bearcats.
The UCF at Cincinnati game will be broadcast on CBS Sports Network and can be streamed via Fubo.
