- Seattle Seahawks host the New England Patriots in the 2026 NFL Kickoff Game on Wednesday, Sept. 9 at Lumen Field (8:20 p.m. ET), a rematch of last season's Super Bowl which Seattle won 29-13.
- The Seahawks are listed as 3.5-point favorites with the over/under set at 44.5 points, and the source notes this is only the third time in NFL history the prior season's two Super Bowl teams meet in Week 1.
- DraftKings offers new users $200 in bonus bets after a $5 wager, bet365 provides an instant $365 bonus on a $10 minimum bet, and Hard Rock Bet awards $100 in bonus bets win or lose after a $5 wager — none requiring a promo code.
- FanDuel awards $350 in bonus bets via daily $5+ wagers over seven days, while Caesars Sportsbook (code CBSDYW) gives a 100% profit boost on 10 wagers after an initial $1 bet, with each token usable on wagers up to $25.
- BetMGM (code CBSSPORTS) returns up to $1,500 in bonus bets if the first wager loses, and Fanatics Sportsbook (code CBSFAN26) unlocks a 10x$100 Bet Match for up to $1,000 in FanCash over 10 days.
- The model projects the Seahawks cover the spread in 64% of simulations and the Over hits in 53%, factoring in New England's offseason addition of A.J. Brown and Seattle's first-round draft pick Jadarian Price replacing Kenneth Walker III, who left in free agency.
Why it matters: With seven competing sportsbooks offering bonus-bet promos for the same marquee matchup, new bettors can effectively place risk-free or bonus-funded wagers — but the source's model gives Seattle a 64% cover probability and the Over just a 53% hit rate, meaning the juiciest promo isn't necessarily matched by a strong betting edge on the Super Bowl rematch.
