The Arizona Republic: Seahawks 24, Patriots 21
Jeremy Cluff writes: “This game offers some big-time intrigue between two franchises starved for another Super Bowl. It is also a rematch of a classic Super Bowl between the two franchises on Feb. 1, 2015, which the Patriots won, 28-24. We expect a different result this time around, thanks to some huge plays from Seattle’s defense, handing the Seahawks their second Super Bowl victory.”

Bill Speros writes: “The Seahawks return to the Super Bowl for the fourth time, having lost to New England 11 years ago. They remain the most complete and well-balanced team in the NFL, boasting the league’s toughest scoring defense (17.2 PPG in the regular season) and the league’s No. 3 scoring offense (28.4 PPG). They can beat you in the air or on the ground. The Patriots, undefeated away from home this season, need a flawless performance on both sides. Nearly impossible against this team. Mike Macdonald in just his 2nd year as Seattle head coach transformed Darnold into a winner – after he played for 4 other teams. The Seahawks finish the job in Santa Clara and get a bit or revenge for Marshawn Lynch, Russell Wilson and Richard Sherman in the process. We grabbed this number when it opened at Seattle -3.5 – before it moved up to 4.5, 5 and 5.5 at some shops.”

Ricky O’Donnell writes: “Seattle has passed so many more tests than the Patriots have. New England might have the edge at QB, but it feels like Seattle has the advantage at most of the other position groups. Darnold doesn’t have to be great, he just has to be solid, and he’s been exactly that all year. Seattle looked like the most complete team entering the playoffs, and now they’re about to make it a reality.”

Dan Graziano writes: “They’ve been the best team all year, hiding in plain sight, and they’ll make life brutally tough on Maye, who’s already been sacked 15 times in this postseason.”
Bleacher Report: Seahawks 24, Patriots 21
Joe Tansey writes: “New England does have the coaching X-factor with Mike Vrabel, who was a key member of the Patriots dynasty as a player. Seattle has the most explosive player in the matchup with Smith-Njigba. He could be the difference, like he was against the Rams, in the Super Bowl.”
