Today we focus on 10 reasons that Seattle will be Super Bowl Champs on Sunday. Tomorrow we will cover the Patriots. Let’s dive in.
10. They played a harder schedule than 32nd.
The Patriots had a very easy schedule to get here, then played playoff Justin Herbert behind a 3rd string offensive line, CJ Stroud who threw more passes to Patriots than Texans and Jarrett Stidham who hadn’t thrown a pass in 3 years. The Seahawks are more battle tested.
9. They win every other Super Bowl.
This is their 4th Super Bowl. They lost their first. They won their second and they lost their 3rd. So they are due to win this one.
8. They are the designated road team
The “road team” has a slight edge in the big game. So that should help the Seahawks.
7. They don’t have the MVP on their team.
I’m not saying Drake May will win the MVP. But he might. But no Seahawk is winning it, that’s for sure. And the MVP seldom wins the Super Bowl. Mahomes did it a few years ago and before that the last person to do it was Kurt Warner way back in 1999.
6. JSN is always open
It’s part scheme and part him being awesome but that dude is just open all the dang time.
5. Drake Maye has looked eh
While Maye was awesome during the regular season, he has been just okay in the post season. The defense has carried the day but they haven’t exactly played the best of offenses.
4. Seattle can score
Unlike the Patriots other 3 playoff opponents, Seattle can put up some points. I’m not saying the Patriots Defense isn’t good, but they are unlikely to shut them down like they did, say, the broncos with a back up QB in the middle of a snow storm.
3. Patriot fans don’t deserve a win
These obnoxious, arrogant people will only be that much more annoying if they win this. They’ve only had 2 or 3 bad years without making the playoffs. The rest of the world can’t handle them winning again so soon.
2. They simply have the better team
The Patriots are a very good team. I think they are the best team in the AFC. But Seattle is just better pretty much everywhere. They have the advantage at pretty much every position. In theory, the better team should win but that doesn’t always happen.
1. The final chapter of the Sam Darnold redemption story!
What a great ending it would be to the saga that has been Darnold’s career to hoist that trophy on Sunday night. After “seeing ghosts”, being dumped by the Jets, being dumped by the Panthers, being 3rd string in San Fran, and then finally balling out in Minnesota only to be thrown to the side after a couple of bad games…and now in 1 year in Seattle, he is in the big game. And with one more win he can complete one of the better NFL stories of the last 20 years.
