Seattle 2-1 to defend Super Bowl crown ahead of Playoff tie

Defending Super Bowl champions Seattle Seahawks go into the Divisional Round of the playoffs as the 2-1 favourites with bookmaker Coral to win the Vince Lombardi Trophy once again on February 1 at the University of Phoenix Stadium. Pete Carroll’s side are 1-5 to beat Carolina Panthers and reach the NFC Championship game for the second consecutive year.

“Seattle will once again have their 12th man behind them at CenturyLink Field for their Divisional Round game, and quite possible for the NFC Championship, so punters have been backing them to defend their Super Bowl crown ever since they secured the number one seed in the conference,” said Coral’s John Hill.
