Week 1 at Lumen Field delivered a tense, low-scoring defensive struggle rather than the offensive fireworks some markets anticipated. The Seattle Seahawks ground out a narrow 13–10 victory over the New England Patriots, defending home turf and kicking off their campaign with a hard-fought result.
Pre-match markets had the Seattle Seahawks installed as favourites at 1.52 in the head-to-head, while the New England Patriots arrived looking to build on their 5-3 season record. Ultimately, it was the hosts who found just enough to get over the line in a tight contest that finished well below the 44.5 total points line.
