Sharp bettors understand that the true edge in handicapping often lies deep within the injury report, specifically when quarterback availability and defensive integers are in flux. As the Seattle Seahawks prepare to face the New England Patriots at Levi’s Stadium on February 8 for Super Bowl LX, the health of the signal-callers has become the primary variable impacting the betting lines.

With a combined 22 players listed on the Week 4 injury report, the volatility is palpable. For New England, the market is reacting to the status of quarterback Drake Maye, who missed practice with a shoulder injury, raising questions about the Patriots’ offensive continuity. Across the field, Seattle’s Sam Darnold was limited with an oblique issue, adding a layer of risk to the Seahawks’ passing props. Defensively, the Patriots are sweating the availability of linebacker Robert Spillane (ankle), a key absence that could alter the field position battle. This breakdown dissects the practice participation reports to uncover value in the props and spread markets.

Seahawks Injury Report: Darnold Limited

While the opposition manages its own quarterback concerns, the Seattle Seahawks are navigating a congested injury report as they prepare for the showdown in Santa Clara. With 13 players designated on the report, the handicapping focus centers on the engine of the offense, Sam Darnold, and the integrity of his protection.

The official designations reveal a dichotomy in participation that correlates directly to prop betting value, specifically within the receiving corps and tight end room.

SEA Injury Impact and Betting Angles

Sam Darnold (Oblique)
The limited participation of Sam Darnold introduces significant variance to Seattle’s offensive projections. Oblique injuries are notorious for limiting rotational power and pocket mobility. Bettors should scrutinize his Rushing Yards prop, currently set at 6.5 yards (+105 Over). If the injury restricts his willingness to scramble or execute read-options, the Under on rushing attempts (set at 2.5) offers statistical value. Furthermore, with tackles Charles Cross and Amari Kight logging DNPs, pass protection is compromised. This likely forces Darnold into a quick-game script, favoring check-downs over deep vertical routes.

Jake Bobo (Hand)
Wide receiver Jake Bobo was limited, a designation that triggers a usage alert for Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Historical data from the 2025-26 season highlights a substantial target share increase for Smith-Njigba when Bobo is sidelined. In games where Bobo sits, Smith-Njigba has averaged 127 receiving yards (2-game sample size). With his current receiving yardage line at 94.5 yards (-115), a downgrade in Bobo’s status would mathematically justify a heavy play on the Over for Seattle’s WR1.

Eric Saubert (Hamstring)
The potential absence of tight end Eric Saubert (DNP) creates a clear void that AJ Barner is statistically primed to fill. When Saubert is inactive, Barner’s production spikes, averaging 47 receiving yards over two contests. With Barner’s receiving prop listed at a modest 24.5 yards (-125 Over), implied probability suggests he clears this number comfortably if Saubert remains out. This is a high-value target for volume-based prop bettors.

Defensive Notes
Defensively, the Seahawks see linebacker Ernest Jones IV (Chest) and corner Josh Jobe (Foot) limited, potentially softening the middle of the field. However, full participation from Drake Thomas and Chazz Surratt provides necessary depth against a Patriots team likely to lean on the ground game.

Patriots Injury Report: Maye’s Shoulder Moves the Needle

The New England Patriots enter the final preparation phase for February 8 with critical health questions at the most valuable position in sports. With 9 players on the report, the status of quarterback Drake Maye overshadows all other narratives.

New England’s injury list is concentrated on high-impact starters in the defensive front seven and under center. The high number of DNPs suggests head coach Jerod Mayo faces tough personnel decisions regarding his actives and inactives.

New England Impact and Betting Angles

Drake Maye (Shoulder)
The “Did Not Participate” tag for Drake Maye is the most significant data point on the board. A mid-week DNP for a starting quarterback is a red flag that impacts the implied probability of the moneyline (+190) and the spread (+4.5). If Maye cannot suit up, expect the Patriots to pivot to a conservative, ground-and-pound scheme. Bettors holding Over tickets on the total (45.5) must monitor Friday’s report; a confirmed absence would likely crash the total as the Patriots attempt to shorten the game.

Robert Spillane (Ankle) & Harold Landry III (Knee)
The Patriots’ defense faces a precarious situation in the front seven. Linebacker Robert Spillane and edge rusher Harold Landry III both failed to practice. Spillane acts as the quarterback of the defense; his absence leaves the run fits vulnerable against Seattle’s Kenneth Walker III. Walker’s rushing prop is set at 70.5 yards; without Spillane filling the A-gaps, Walker has a higher probability of breaking runs into the second level. Additionally, without Landry’s pass-rush win rate, Darnold may find the clean pockets necessary to operate despite his own oblique issues.

Mack Hollins (Abdomen)
Wide receiver Mack Hollins practiced fully, signaling he will likely play. This is a vital note for Stefon Diggs props. Data indicates Diggs sees a massive volume spike when Hollins is inactive—averaging 101 receiving yards in such scenarios. However, with Hollins projecting as IN, Diggs is likely to regress to his standard target share. The data suggests fading the Over on Diggs’ alternate lines if the market has priced in a solo act.

Offensive Line Stability
While tackle Thayer Munford Jr. (Knee) sat out, veteran Morgan Moses (Rest) was a full participant. Moses’ presence provides essential stability on the edge, a prerequisite for success against Seattle’s defensive schemes regardless of who is taking the snaps.
