I was right about both games during
the Conference Championships and now we turn our eyes towards Super Bowl LX.
One last game in what has been a wild and entertaining season. Here’s how I
think the season will end:
Seatle Seahawks vs. New England
Patriots
Sunday 6:30PM on NBC
This Sunday we will get a matchup
of two 14-3 teams. Both teams have been tested and have earned their way into
the championship game. Both teams have proven that they can score and both can
play defense. The Seahawks defense was tops when it came to keeping their
opponents out of the endzone, but they will face a Patriots offense which is in
the top five when it comes to explosive plays. Going the other way, the
Patriots’ defensive line is one of the best, especially against the run but
they will come up against an offense that at times can impose its will on any
defense. I think this game comes down to two questions. Which Sam Darnold shows
up on Sunday? And which defense will prove to be the stingiest, especially
during what will likely be a tight fourth quarter? Defense wins championships
and I think the Seahawks D outplays their counterpart from across the field:
Seahawks 24 Patriots 17
