2026 Super Bowl Predictions: Experts Pick Seahawks vs. Patriots Scoreline

The Seattle Seahawks have won nine straight games, looking for their first Super Bowl title since the 2013 season. The New England Patriots, though, might be embarking on the beginning of a new dynasty. 

Super Bowl LX has all the makings of a classic, as Seattle was 60-1 in the preseason to win the title while New England was a whopping 80-1.

I think offensive coordinator (and soon-to-be Raiders head coach) Klint Kubiak will build a smart game plan that limits the risk for Sam Darnold, and I think Seattle’s playmakers will be the difference in the game. 

Ben Arthur : Seahawks 24, Patriots 17

Both teams have elite defenses (Seahawks have the slight edge), so I think this comes down to quarterback play. And I just trust Sam Darnold more. That would’ve been a crazy thing to say a year ago, but give him credit. He’s delivered for Seattle in the biggest moments in this Super Bowl run, most notably the NFC championship game. 

Drake Maye is the MVP finalist, but he hasn’t been the same player since the regular season ended. 

Henry McKenna : Patriots 17, Seahawks 13

There has been a startling recency bias around the two QBs in this game. Sam Darnold saw two divisional opponents for the third time and had deep familiarity with those
