The Seattle Seahawks are set to face off against the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX, a matchup that was considered unlikely heading into the playoffs. The Seahawks' strong defense and rushing attack have been key components of their success, earning them a first-round bye before dominating the San Francisco 49ers 41-6 in the Divisional Round and outlasting the Los Angeles Rams 31-27 in the NFC Championship Game.
In contrast, the Patriots have relied on winning ugly to advance through the playoffs. They defeated a depleted Chargers team 16-3 in the Wild Card Round before beating the Houston Texans 28-16, despite eight combined turnovers. Their win over the Denver Broncos in the AFC Championship Game was only 10-7, but it marked another impressive postseason run for quarterback Drake Maye.
While many expect the Patriots to have an edge at quarterback, I'm not convinced that Sam Darnold has been as effective throughout the playoffs. Darnold's numbers are comparable to those of Maye, and he's been sacked less frequently while also showing fewer turnovers. The Seahawks' defense is just as formidable, making it a challenging task for either quarterback to thrive.
The Seahawks have clearly outbuilt their opponents so far this postseason, with elite players like Jaxon Smith-Njigba at wide receiver and Kenneth Walker III behind the line of scrimmage. They've been dominant on both sides of the ball, including special teams, which has given them a strong foundation for success in Super Bowl LX.
Given the Seahawks' overall strength, I'm backing them to win comfortably in this matchup. The Patriots may be able to pull off an upset if Drake Maye starts throwing picks and the Seahawks' defense gets overwhelmed, but I wouldn't bet on it. A 31-20 victory seems like a reasonable expectation for Seattle.
PhillyVoice's other experts are also siding with the Seahawks, with Geoff Mosher predicting a 28-20 win and Evan Macy saying 31-17. Jimmy's Super Bowl history is also on the Seahawks' side, as he has correctly picked them to win the big game in each of their last three appearances.
Ultimately, the key to this matchup will be how effectively Sam Darnold can navigate the Seahawks' defense while also managing Kenneth Walker III behind the line of scrimmage. If either team falters, the other could capitalize on the mistake and take control of the game.

meanwhile Sam Darnold is over here like "I'm a playoff QB" 
but seriously though Seahawks' defense is looking 
so strong, they'll probably just shut down the Patriots' offense and watch them struggle to move the ball. I mean 31-20 is a pretty safe bet for Seattle 
can't wait for this one, gonna be a fun game! 
! The Seahawks look like a solid bet to win it all, don't you think? I mean, their defense has been on fire, and Sam Darnold's numbers are pretty comparable to Drake Maye's, so it's hard to pick a winner. Plus, the Seahawks' special teams have been dominating, which is huge. A 31-20 victory seems like a safe bet to me 
It'll be super interesting to see how this one plays out! 
, and I think the Seattle Seahawks are gonna crush it against the Patriots 
. The Seahawks just have too much depth and talent on their side. 31-20 seems like a pretty safe bet to me 
. PhillyVoice's experts are all on the same page, and Jimmy's got a solid track record of picking winners 
. Bring it on! 
. They're like a well-oiled machine with Darnold's stats being super close to Maye's 
. Meanwhile, Walker III is racking up those yards 
. The Seahawks defense has been on fire 
. Here are some numbers for ya:
️. The Seahawks' special teams have been unstoppable 
. A 31-20 win seems like a reasonable expectation for Seattle 
If Darnold gets pressured and starts throwing picks, it's game over for the Pats 
On the other hand, if Sam can keep it up and his WRs stay on their toes, maybe, just maybe the Pats have a chance 
Guess we'll see about that come Super Bowl LX 
. That defense is something else! Like seriously, Jaxon Smith-Njigba is on fire 
. The Pats are gonna have to bring their A-game if they wanna take down the Hawks in this one 
.
, but in this one? I'm all over the Seahawks to win comfortably!
. Their defense is like a brick wall 
. The Seahawks' defense is pretty solid, but if Drake Maye starts making some big plays, they could pull off an upset 
. I THINK A 31-20 VICTORY FOR SEATTLE SEEMS LIKE THE ONLY LOGICAL CHOICE, BUT WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS ON GAME DAY!!! 
I'm so hyped for Super Bowl LX!!! The Seahawks are gonna crush it 
! Kenneth Walker III is like a beast behind the line of scrimmage 
! The Seahawks have been dominating all playoffs and I just know they're gonna take this one home 
. 31-20 is a totally reasonable expectation for me 
, can't wait to see it happen!!!
