The suggested prop for Super Bowl LX between the Patriots and Seahawks is AJ Barner Anytime Touchdown, and there are several clear ways he can get there.

Barner doesn’t need a big play to score. He could even factor in on a short-yardage situation near the goal line.

If Seattle is stopped at the one, that’s where things get interesting. The Patriots are not a team you can simply run on, especially in the Super Bowl and in short-yardage spots. Because of that, Seattle may be forced to get creative at the goal line rather than relying on a straight run.

New England is tough up front, but it can be vulnerable to tight ends, particularly in the red zone. The Patriots' linebackers and safeties can be beaten in coverage, and that has consistently been the weakest area of their defense. That opens the door for tight ends to play a major role when the field shortens.

Throughout the season, Darnold has shown a clear tendency to look for Barner in the red zone. When Seattle gets close, Barner has been a trusted option, and that usage matters in a game like this.

With multiple paths to a touchdown and a favorable matchup near the goal line, a Barner Anytime Touchdown is the prop to go with for Super Bowl LX.
