Prediction Seahawks 17-20 Patriots
Seattle have misplaced three video games this season by a mixed 9 factors, however any individual’s bought to again the Patriots have not they? And underdogs have gained 4 of the final 5 Tremendous Bowls.
I do not assume they’ll win a shootout however I am not anticipating one with these two defences – I might like them to strike first although as Seattle are 11-0 this season when the rating first.
Hear, a dominant Seahawks win would not shock me, however I’ve simply bought a sense Vrabel and Josh McDaniels with all their expertise can pull one thing out of the bag.
The Pats are 12-0 and permitting simply 14.5 factors a recreation when defensive wrecking ball Milton Williams and shutdown nook Christian Gonzalez are on the sphere collectively, and so they’ll each play on Sunday.
And if it is shut happening the stretch then it solely takes one play. Give me the Pats in a nailbiter.
MVP: Milton Williams
Let’s face it, it is a quarterback award is not it, however since I am backing a low-scoring upset win I am going to go for simply the tenth defender to win the MVP. Von Miller was the final, on this exact same stadium, sporting all white as effectively! Apart from the omens, Williams did have a few sacks and a compelled fumble and restoration on Patrick Mahomes for the Eagles final yr and one thing comparable in a good contest may very well be a distinction maker.

Prediction Seahawks 24-13 Patriots
Seattle’s superior defence, referred to as the Darkish Aspect, has been the primary subject of dialogue throughout Tremendous Bowl week. Drake Maye has proven the power to scramble and escape the strain however I believe the Seahawks will convey an excessive amount of warmth and stifle the Patriots quarterback.
He has already taken the second-most sacks in a single post-season (15) and I reckon Seattle will pressure him previous Joe Burrow’s document tally of 19.
New England’s defence is not too shabby both so I anticipate it to be a good, low-scoring affair earlier than Seattle go clear late within the third quarter or early within the fourth to clinch it.
MVP: Leonard Williams
Some 17 Seattle gamers registered at the very least half a sack this season, with their inside defence notably aggressive. Sort out Leonard Williams has registered eight sacks and 33 quarterback pressures so I am backing the 13-year veteran to emerge from the Darkish Aspect and change into a uncommon defensive MVP.
