Superbowl (Pending)

Yes they are the dog and yes Seattle should be favored but I love the underdog here to put up a ferocious fight and I know that the Patriots love being in that underdog position for this game as well.

Easy schedule this and easy schedule that.....yeah, yeah, yeah You still need to overcome a lot to be in this position.

This team is one hell of a good team with an outstanding defense and a decent offense with a very likeable youngster who is shaping quite well in Drake Mayes. also a second to none phenomenal coach in iron Mike vrabel and for these just to mention a few reasons plus five points right now in my opinion is an outstanding deal and I will be gather my stats, facts and will be giving the forum my game day analysis soon, and oh yeah any rebuttals or important related substance to this Superbowl matchup between these two teams that can be added to this thread would also be much appreciated not only from me, but for all  of us players.

I went back and watched more of the Seahawks games from this year, and I think they're clearly the class of the NFC. That said, while Darnold processes and distributes much more quickly than he used to, I still see him occasionally get rattled or indecisive under a heavy pressure. I do think our corners and our d line will work in tandem to slow down their passing attack, and I have zero concern about the rushing attack as long as we don't allow their backs to get in space. Their skill players are some of the best in the league. Their OL doesn't really impress me, however. I think we have a significant and underrated advantage there.

They have plenty of playmakers across all three levels of the defense, but they're far from lockdown. I think they can get bullied a bit in the run game, especially if we commit to having a full back or a sixth lineman. If we can contain their pass rush, then I see plenty of opportunities for deep shots, which Maye excels at but hasn't been able to display consistently this postseason due to facing teams with furious pass rush and tenacious coverage. The Seahawks are fast and physical, but I don't think they are as discipline or as talented as the Texans are even Broncos. They can be had for sure, and I think McDaniels will drop a master class in play design and play calling.

I've gone from thinking the Seahawks would almost certainly win to favoring the Patriots by a small amount. Let's go shock the sports world.

Nicely done.....Thanks for the contribution 

@drewskie

 Thank you 

Pats Super Bowls have tend to be close might expect nothing less here 

@Digitalkarma

 85 Bearz blows that out of the water. I know, you were too young to see it.  

I'll be throwing food for thought posts out on this thread for all to see and any and all constructive and substantial rebuttal is always appreciated and excepted......we are all here to help one another in choosing this years Superbowl winner 

The Patriots and Seahawks were the second and third highest scoring teams in the league. Obviously, it could end up being low scoring, but it's not been the case for the Pats outside a couple cold weather playoff games.

In fact, they didn't have a single regular season game with a score that low.

Pats have the best defense the Seahawks have faced this post season ……. by a long country mile, Seahawks Defense is good but not as good as the three the Patriots just went through. 

I think I'm going to sit the sidelines in this SB, I canale a strong case for both sides, hence no play for me. Will look at possibly getting some props.

Good luck on your play!

I underlined a key word from you so check back on this thread because I'll be making a strong case for the Patriots but there will be several making a strong case for the Seahawks as well and rightfully so.

Good luck on your props 

No Eagles no Chiefs...... I'm pumped! 

Pats played teams that didn’t play well against them so why is that? Maybe there is a reason for that happening and maybe the reason why it happened it's because...

Pats defense is elite and the reason they are top rated and one of the toughest that Seattle will have to face in this Superbowl and the way I'm seeing it is the Patriots defense will take out the run early. Sam Darnold will be pressured hard and Jaxon Smith-Njigba will be blanketed by Christian Gonzalez.

And the X factor make no mistake about it is the fact that Vrabel has experience winning Super Bowls and will have his team ready and the teams Owner Robert Kraft is a big influencer with the National football league which may potentially be the deciding factor in the Patriots success in this years Superbowl and beyond.

Ive decided on taking the dogs for the SB as soon as seattle covered against rams… im betting a lot on pats spread and pats ml… good luck brotha 

While I undoubtedly agree that the Seahawks are the best team the Patriots are going to face, many attributing poor quarterback play to opposing teams offense and not the defense stopping them. The Chargers didn’t sack themselves, the Texans didn’t intercept their own passes, now did they?

The Patriots defense is much better than anyone gives them credit for. The offense didn't look that great and struggled against 3 of the top 5 defenses in the league no doubt I'll say that, The Texans defense was being compared to the 85’ Bears by many here on this forum and I've heard it on the media as well.

Drake Maye had 330+ total yards against the Chargers, threw 3 TD’s against the Texans (most by any QB this season), and while not that great against the Broncos in so mostly crap weather he was still able to make the winning plays in the end.

I expect playing in a climate controlled dome with a couple weeks rest that he’s going to look like an MVP candidate again and may just win in that category. I don’t expect the Patriots to win here as yes Seattle does look like the team to beat, but the easy schedule narrative is just a haters excuse at this point. But If the Patriots do indeed win I’m fully expecting everyone to say “Well, they beat Darnold because he went in seeing Ghosts mode again" 

I won't be taking the money line as of yet but the points which I'm still shopping for the best for my advantage.....I most definitely will take advantage of as it will be closer than most think.

 Good Luck on your choice next weekend 

8 teams lost to tampa bay1 falcons2 texans 3jets 4seattle 5 49ers 6 saints 7 cardinals 8 panthers 

4 other teams who lost to tampa bay also lost the superbowl

remember falcons blowing 25 point lead lost in ot by 6 to patriots 

While the regular season schedule strength was low for New England, their easy road would have been “harder” had, one of the “good teams”that didn’t make the playoffs had indeed made the playoffs.... in example, Baltimore or Kansas City.

Though one of the “good playoff teams” won their games (bills), all of the playoff teams that the Pats have played and faced that were going to give them the so called beatdown had suddenly became bad teams when they lost (Texans, Chargers, Broncos) 

So what's up with that?.....The play here as proven even though everyone thinks it's going to be a Seattle beat down is the Patriots and I love it when the naysayers say....it isn't so.

I also don't buy the whole "easy schedule" thing; because after all it is the NFL, the best football league in the world. Theoretically, every NFL team is good at playing football respectfully;

They all have a roster of 53 NFL players, and have NFL-caliber coaches and staff. Some teams just aren't anywhere near as good as others at the moment. But at the end of the day, you still have to play and win a sixty-minute game, sometimes after traveling across the country or on a short week.

The Patriots were the best team in the AFC this season, regardless of their schedule. If someone else was better, they would be going to the Super Bowl instead 

Seahawks vs Patriots trend to know?

Teams that failed to cover the spread in their Conference Championship Game are 4-10 SU and 2-11-1 ATS in the Super Bowl.

Also, Mattress Mack is on Patriots moneyline.  Enough said.

Also, Mattress Mack is on Patriots moneyline.  Enough said.

And your point being which appears to be most irrelevant to the game and to this thread? 

Key Details on Mattress Mack's Betting:

Methodology: The bets are not simple gambling; they are high-stakes marketing hedges. If the team he bets on wins, he uses the winnings to pay back customers who bought furniture during his promotions. If the team loses, he keeps the furniture revenue.

Massive Wagers: He has placed numerous multi-million dollar bets, including $2 million on the 2026 Super Bowl, and previously lost $9.5 million on the 2022 Super Bowl.

Recent Activity: In 2024, he placed multiple $1 million bets on the Houston Cougars in the NCAA tournament.

Legal Status: Because sports betting is illegal in Texas, he travels to other states or uses legal, out-of-state mobile sportsbooks to place these bets. 

While he has won tens of millions, he has also incurred significant losses, making him a major, albeit calculated, figure in the gambling world.
