Hunter Henry Odds, Predictions & Projections for Super Bowl 60

Santa Clara—While the New England Patriots brace for a daunting matchup against the Seattle Seahawks’ top-tier defense in Super Bowl 60, one statistical soft spot has oddsmakers circling: tight end production. Despite Seattle’s overall stinginess, the Seahawks surrendered 1,080 receiving yards to tight ends during the regular season—sixth-most in the NFL—and have already allowed 59 yards to Jake Tonges and 62 to Colby Parkinson this postseason. That vulnerability has shifted betting attention toward Patriots tight end Hunter Henry, whose recent form and scheme fit suggest a potential breakout on Sunday, February 8.

Henry closed the regular season with 45-plus receiving yards in five of his final seven games, then opened the playoffs with 64 yards against the Chargers. A quiet Divisional Round and Conference Championship—three catches, 17 yards combined—has suppressed his props, but analysts point to Seattle’s zone-heavy approach as a counterbalance. The Seahawks deploy zone coverage at the fourth-highest rate league-wide, and Pro Football Focus grades Henry as the fourth-best tight end when working against zone looks.

Quarterback Drake Maye’s trajectory adds another layer. The rookie surpassed 230 passing yards in 13 of his first 16 regular-season starts, with recent dips attributed largely to poor weather conditions. Forecasts call for clear skies in Santa Clara, setting up Maye’s most favorable throwing environment in two months. Expect a steady diet of short-to-intermediate routes that could funnel targets toward Henry and, by extension, toward Seahawks rookie defender Nick Emmanwori. Emmanwori, who often shadows tight ends and backs, has recorded six or more total tackles in four of his last seven outings, underscoring the likelihood of repeated head-to-head collisions with Henry.

With books already posting Hunter Henry odds for Super Bowl 60, bettors are weighing whether his recent usage and the Seahawks’ positional generosity outweigh New England’s broader offensive challenges. The consensus: Henry’s matchup is as favorable as any Patriot will find on the grand stage.
