Expert Predictions WIll Hill: Seahawks 27, Patriots 17 The Patriots have had a remarkable turnaround post-Bill Belichick, but the Seahawks will pose a significant step up in competition compared to what the AFC bracket presented. I expect a low-scoring game, but I think the more talented Seahawks will ultimately pull away and win 27-17, with Sam Darnold taking home MVP. Chris Fallica: Seahawks 27, Patriots 23 I hate the game from a spread standpoint. It seems like a simple handicap where Seattle is better at every position group and groupthink has the Seahawks winning comfortably. If anything, I’ll see if I can get a cheap Seahawks money line on the game, but I’m not going to lay 4.5 here. Sammy P: Seahawks 23, Patriots 20 After a low-scoring first quarter, I expect things to stay competitive the rest of the way. New England (15-5 ATS) made bettors money all season long and that mostly came in the favorite role. Mike Vrabel is a tremendous underdog coach and that song should remain the same this Sunday in Santa Clara. Geoff Schwartz: Seahawks 24, Patriots 13 I have the game 24-13 for the Seahawks. The Seahawks have been the best team wire-to-wire this season and the best case for the Patriots in this game is Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold turning back into a pumpkin which I do not expect. He’s been nails this postseason. The Seahawks defense is going to sit in zone coverage and force the New England to work for all their yards which is difficult without dynamic playmakers at the skill positions. Seahawks win this game comfortably. National Anthem For years, sports fans have bet on the length of the Star Spangled Banner, among other anthem-related props. This year, singer, songwriter and producer Charlie Puth will take the stage to perform the anthem before the big game kicks off.
