The New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks are two of the winningest teams in the NFL over the last 15 years and meet in the Super Bowl for the second time in that span. Of course, this is a rematch of Super Bowl XLIX, when Malcolm Butler intercepted Russell Wilson with Seattle on the one-yard line and down by four points in the last moments of the game.

The public would have thought it would have taken both teams much longer to get back to the big game in the post-Tom Brady and post-Pete Carroll eras. However, these teams both defied long odds to make a historic turnaround.

As of the time of this writing, the Seattle Seahawks (-4.5) are -230 favorites via Caesars Sportsbook.
