New England travels to Lumen Field on Wednesday, September 9, and this game truly opens the <a href=\"\/us\/nfl\/\">2026 NFL season<\/a>. Kickoff is 8:20 PM ET on NBC and Peacock. Notably, the opponent is the team that beat them 29-13 for the title in February. Squawka Signal&#8217;s live read on this game, including where the value sits, is in the block just below. Signal rates <a href=\"\/us\/nfl\/picks\/\">all 16 Week 1 games<\/a> the same way.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both teams finished 14-3, which is the tidiest summary of why the NFL put this game first. Seattle, notably, went in as the NFC&#8217;s top seed and came out with the Lombardi. Similarly, New England won the AFC East and then beat Houston and Denver on the road. Neither roster is quite the one that met in February, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Notably, the headline departure is Seattle&#8217;s: Kenneth Walker III, who carried 27 times for 135 yards in the Super Bowl, is now a Kansas City Chief. New England, meanwhile, has added A.J. Brown. So the question is simple. Does Drake Maye finally have the help to solve the defense that sacked him six times in February?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!-- SQ_NFL_SIGNAL -->\n\n\n\n<style>\n\/* Squawka NFL picks card - palette matched to the injected sq-nsig Signal units *\/\n.sqp{--cy:#2FE6C9;--val:#38D97A;--ovr:#FF6A5A;--fair:#FFC24B;--tx:#e8f0f7;--mut:rgba(232,240,247,.60);--line:rgba(255,255,255,.10);--gold:#FFC24B;position:relative;overflow:hidden;font-family:'Bricolage Grotesque',system-ui,-apple-system,Segoe UI,Roboto,sans-serif;color:var(--tx);max-width:960px;margin:14px auto 26px;border-radius:14px;background:linear-gradient(135deg,#0a2540 0%,#06182b 62%,#04121f 100%);box-shadow:0 14px 36px rgba(4,18,31,.34)}\n.sqp *{box-sizing:border-box}\n.sqp__wrap{padding:22px 26px 20px}\n.sqp__kick{display:inline-flex;align-items:center;gap:8px;font-size:11px;font-weight:800;letter-spacing:.14em;text-transform:uppercase;color:var(--cy)}\n.sqp__kick::before{content:'';width:7px;height:7px;border-radius:50%;background:var(--cy);box-shadow:0 0 9px 1px var(--cy)}\n.sqp__ttl{font-size:24px;font-weight:800;letter-spacing:-.3px;line-height:1.14;margin:12px 0 0;color:var(--tx)}\n.sqp__sub{margin:7px 0 0;font-size:14.5px;line-height:1.5;color:var(--mut);max-width:70ch}\n.sqp__crests{display:flex;align-items:center;gap:10px;margin-top:14px}\n.sqp__crests img{width:28px;height:28px;display:block}\n.sqp__at{font-size:12px;font-weight:700;color:var(--mut);letter-spacing:.1em}\n.sqp__h3{margin:20px 0 0;font-size:10.5px;font-weight:800;letter-spacing:.16em;text-transform:uppercase;color:var(--cy)}\n.sqp__list{margin-top:12px;border-top:1px solid var(--line)}\n.sqp__row{display:grid;grid-template-columns:1fr 126px;gap:14px;align-items:center;padding:14px 2px;border-bottom:1px solid var(--line)}\n.sqp__mkt{display:block;font-size:10px;font-weight:800;letter-spacing:.13em;text-transform:uppercase;color:var(--cy);margin-bottom:4px}\n.sqp__pk{font-size:15.5px;font-weight:800;line-height:1.25;color:var(--tx)}\n.sqp__top{display:inline-block;vertical-align:middle;margin-left:8px;font-size:9.5px;font-weight:800;letter-spacing:.08em;text-transform:uppercase;color:#3a2c00;background:var(--gold);padding:3px 7px;border-radius:5px}\n.sqp__why{display:block;margin-top:5px;font-size:13.5px;line-height:1.5;color:var(--mut)}\n.sqp__pr{text-align:center}\n.sqp__val{display:block;font-size:23px;font-weight:800;color:var(--cy);line-height:1;text-decoration:none}\na.sqp__val:hover{text-decoration:underline}\n.sqp__stars{display:block;font-size:15px;line-height:1;letter-spacing:1px;color:var(--gold)}\n.sqp__stars .d{opacity:.24}\n.sqp__lab{display:block;font-size:10px;letter-spacing:.06em;text-transform:uppercase;color:var(--mut);margin-top:4px}\n.sqp__verd{display:inline-block;margin-top:6px;font-size:10.5px;font-weight:800;letter-spacing:.04em;padding:2px 7px;border-radius:5px}\n.sqp__verd--val{color:var(--val);background:rgba(56,217,122,.12)}\n.sqp__verd--ovr{color:var(--ovr);background:rgba(255,106,90,.12)}\n.sqp__verd--fair{color:var(--fair);background:rgba(255,194,75,.12)}\n.sqp__approach{margin:14px 0 0;font-size:13.5px;line-height:1.55;color:var(--tx)}\n.sqp__foot{margin:16px 0 0;padding-top:13px;border-top:1px solid var(--line);font-size:11.5px;line-height:1.55;color:rgba(232,240,247,.5)}\n.sqp__foot a{color:var(--cy);font-weight:700;text-decoration:none;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(47,230,201,.35)}\n@media(max-width:640px){\n.sqp__wrap{padding:18px 15px 16px}\n.sqp__ttl{font-size:20px}\n.sqp__row{grid-template-columns:1fr 100px;gap:10px}\n.sqp__val{font-size:20px}\n}\n<\/style>\n<div class=\"sqp\" id=\"sqp-nesea\">\n<div class=\"sqp__wrap\">\n<span class=\"sqp__kick\">Week 1 &middot; Editorial pick<\/span>\n<h2 class=\"sqp__ttl\">Patriots vs Seahawks: our editor&#8217;s prop<\/h2>\n<p class=\"sqp__sub\">One editorial call to sit alongside the live Signal numbers above.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sqp__crests\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/us\/wp-content\/themes\/squawka\/inc\/NFL\/assets\/team-logos\/NE.png\" alt=\"Patriots\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"28\" height=\"28\">\n<span class=\"sqp__at\">AT<\/span>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/us\/wp-content\/themes\/squawka\/inc\/NFL\/assets\/team-logos\/SEA.png\" alt=\"Seahawks\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"28\" height=\"28\">\n<\/div>\n<h3 class=\"sqp__h3\">Our prop<\/h3>\n<div class=\"sqp__list\">\n<div class=\"sqp__row\" data-market=\"Player prop\" data-selection=\"Drake Maye sacked two or more times\" data-read=\"\">\n<div><span class=\"sqp__mkt\">Player prop<\/span><span class=\"sqp__pk\">Drake Maye sacked two or more times<\/span><span class=\"sqp__why\">New England&#8217;s line allowed 48 sacks last season, more than any other unit in this game.

New England scored more, yet conceded a 93.1 passer rating and let opponents score on 67.5% of red-zone trips. Seattle held both far lower, and when two offenses are this close, the defense that bends less decides it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Patriots vs Seahawks injury report and team news<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both sides expect their first-choice quarterbacks. The live Out, Doubtful and Questionable designations appear in the table below, and they update as the official report lands through the week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maye starts behind a rebuilt receiving corps, with Brown the clear number one alongside Romeo Doubs and DeMario Douglas. Notably, Stefon Diggs has left for Washington. Meanwhile Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson again split the backfield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Darnold starts for Seattle, with Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Cooper Kupp and Rashid Shaheed giving him the deepest group in the game. Barner still remains the tight end, and Charbonnet leads the backfield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!-- SQ_NFL_INJURIES -->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The matchup that decides it: Seattle&#8217;s rush against New England&#8217;s protection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Everything funnels into one collision, and we have already seen it resolve once. Seattle&#8217;s rush produced six sacks and 11 quarterback hits in the Super Bowl, and Maye&#8217;s rating fell to 79.1 despite 295 passing yards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maye is not the problem. He threw for 4,394 yards and 31 touchdowns in 2025, against eight interceptions all year. Yet he threw two in February because Seattle made him hold the ball. Moreover, Devon Witherspoon and Ernest Jones IV, who set that tone, are both back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brown is the answer, because he should shorten the read and get the ball out faster. Still, Week 1 is the hardest week to unveil a new passing rhythm, and Lumen Field the least forgiving place to try it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Players to watch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Jaxon Smith-Njigba (SEA, WR):<\/strong> Led the NFL with 1,793 receiving yards, yet managed 27 on 10 targets in the Super Bowl.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Drake Maye (NE, QB):<\/strong> How quickly he finds Brown under pressure is the story of New England&#8217;s night.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A.J. Brown (NE, WR):<\/strong> The signing that reshapes the Patriots&#8217; passing game, and one the Seahawks have not faced before.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Devon Witherspoon (SEA, CB):<\/strong> A sack, a pass defended and four tackles from the corner in February. The Seahawks blitz him for a reason.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Zach Charbonnet (SEA, RB):<\/strong> Inherits Walker&#8217;s workload. If the Seahawks control the clock again, he is why.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to watch Patriots vs Seahawks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The game kicks off at 8:20 PM ET on Wednesday, September 9 at Lumen Field in Seattle. Additionally, NBC has the national broadcast, and Peacock carries the stream for subscribers. Because it is a standalone opener rather than a Sunday afternoon game, there is no local blackout or regional coverage map to work around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\">\n<thead>\n<tr><th>Detail<\/th><th>Patriots vs Seahawks<\/th><\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr><td><strong>Date<\/strong><\/td><td>Wednesday, September 9, 2026<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td><strong>Kickoff<\/strong><\/td><td>8:20 PM ET \/ 7:20 PM CT \/ 6:20 PM MT \/ 5:20 PM PT<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td><strong>Venue<\/strong><\/td><td>Lumen Field, Seattle, WA<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td><strong>TV<\/strong><\/td><td>NBC<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td><strong>Live stream<\/strong><\/td><td>Peacock<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td><strong>Week<\/strong><\/td><td>Week 1, 2026 NFL season<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Patriots vs Seahawks prediction and score projection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our <strong>Patriots vs Seahawks prediction<\/strong> is a narrow Seattle win, for the same reason the Seahawks won it all in February. The Patriots will move the ball, because they moved it then and still lost by 16. Seattle&#8217;s rush turned drives into punts. For reference, Signal puts Seattle at <!--sig:SEA.wp-->57%<!--\/sig:SEA.wp--> and New England at <!--sig:NE.wp-->43%<!--\/sig:NE.wp-->, a fair price of <!--sig:NE.fair-->+133<!--\/sig:NE.fair--> on the Patriots; the market&#8217;s own read on both is in the Signal block.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">New England is better equipped this time, though. A.J. Brown is a genuine answer to pressure, and Seattle has lost the back who carried 27 times for 135 yards in that Super Bowl. Those two changes are why this should be closer than February&#8217;s 16-point margin suggests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ultimately we will take the Seahawks to win, 23-21. Their front seven should decide it again, even against a better-equipped New England. Which side carries the value, however, is a different question from who wins, and the live read on that sits in the Signal block rather than here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Signal rates every game on our <a href=\"\/us\/nfl\/picks\/\">NFL picks page<\/a>.

They were the NFC&#8217;s top seed in 2025, conceded 292 points against New England&#8217;s 320, and beat the Patriots 29-13 in Super Bowl LX seven months ago. The live win probability and the current market price both sit in the Signal block on this page.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-nesea-2\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">When did the Patriots last play the Seahawks?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">In Super Bowl LX in February 2026, which Seattle won 29-13. The Seahawks recorded six sacks and forced three turnovers, and Kenneth Walker III ran for 135 yards. This Week 1 opener is therefore the rematch.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-nesea-3\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Where can I watch Patriots vs Seahawks?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">NBC has the national TV broadcast and Peacock carries the live stream.

As a guide to why the Seahawks are favored: they conceded 292 points in 2025 to New England&#8217;s 320, recorded 47 sacks to their 35, and won the Super Bowl meeting by 16.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-nesea-5\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Which team is better, the Seahawks or the Patriots?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Both finished 14-3 in 2025. Seattle was the NFC&#8217;s top seed and conceded fewer points, 292 against New England&#8217;s 320, while the Patriots scored marginally more. Ultimately Seattle&#8217;s defense is the clearest separator, and it decided the Super Bowl.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>21+ | Gambling Problem?
