The confetti has fallen at the AFC and NFC Championship Games, resulting in Super Bowl LX matchup: the second-seeded New England Patriots facing the first-seeded Seattle Seahawks. The game takes place at Levi’s Stadium on February 8. This historic Super Bowl features both quarterbacks, Drake Maye from the Patriots and Sam Darnold from the Seahawks, as well as coaches in their early careers.

Here’s how they got here:

• Patriots: Back for their NFL-record 12th Super Bowl; notable new players include wide receiver Stefon Diggs and cornerback Carlton Davis.
• Seahawks: In their fourth Super Bowl, they reshaped their roster, replacing Geno Smith with Darnold and signing DeMarcus Lawrence and Cooper Kupp among others.

Super Bowl LX Prediction

The Patriots have struggled with pass protection, which could hinder Maye against the Seahawks’ formidable defense. Historical patterns suggest the Seahawks take the victory, making it a Seahawks win by multiple possessions.

Prediction: Seahawks 27, Patriots 13, with the line set at Seahawks -4.5 and an under of 46.5.
