What are the Best Possible Super Bowl 60 Matchups?
The Super Bowl is one of the biggest sporting events on the planet. It captures the attention of millions of people across the world, with some watching NFL for the first time. Super Bowl LX will be played on February 8, 2026, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. Only two teams from the 32 that started the season can play in the Super Bowl and we assess the best possible Super Bowl 60 matchups.
Los Angeles Rams vs New England Patriots
When analysing the betting odds for the Super Bowl, only Seattle Seahawks have lower odds to win the Super Bowl than Los Angeles Rams and New England Patriots. That means a Super Bowl between these two teams should produce a great game. How to bet on Super Bowl 60 begins with understanding the odds but also the various markets, with prop bets including over/under wagers on touchdowns, yards, and sacks. In the case of the Rams vs the Patriots, there is a side plot developing between Matthew Stafford of the Rams and Drake Maye of the Patriots. The Regular Season MVP award is a race between these two players, with Stafford the narrow favourite at the time of writing.
Whoever wins the award knows all eyes will be on them should they reach the Super Bowl and it would add an extra level of interest should the winner be facing the team of the player who missed out. One player is king while the other will feel they have something to prove. The Super Bowl could start a whole new debate as to who deserved to win the MVP award this season.
Seattle Seahawks vs Denver Broncos
Super Bowl XLVIII played in 2014 saw Seattle Seahawks dominate Denver Broncos in a 43-8 victory. It was the joint third largest margin of victory in Super Bowl history and the biggest win by an underdog of all time. However, in that game, it was the Seahawks who were the underdogs and should these teams meet at Super Bowl LX, it would be the Broncos who come in as underdogs. Both teams feature a quarterback who was given little chance of tasting success at the beginning of the season, so to feature in the Super Bowl would be a fantastic achievement for both players. In contrast to the Super Bowl in 2014, this could be a contest dominated by defences, meaning a close game.
Seattle Seahawks vs New England Patriots
From a pure spectacle perspective, a meeting between Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots could be the one that produces the most quality. While Los Angeles Rams may be considered a better team than the Patriots, they will likely face the Seahawks should they reach the NFC Championship game. That leaves the Patriots as the biggest threat to the Seahawks in the Super Bowl. The Patriots finished with an identical record (14-3) to the Seahawks and were third in the regular season for net yards per game and fourth for net passing yards per game. If the Patriots offense can perform to their best, a meeting with the Seahawks could produce a wonderful finale to the season.
