SAN FRANCISCO – After surviving an earthquake on Monday, I’ve decided to officially make my Super Bowl pick. As everyone knows, any time the Super Bowl is in San Francisco, you have to survive at least one earthquake before you can make your pick, so here we are. It’s time.
Actually, forget everything I just wrote, because the Super Bowl isn’t even in San Francisco. It’s in Santa Clara. Why is the Golden Gate Bridge EVEN in the Super Bowl logo? I have no idea. I feel so used.

Anyway, not only is the game in Santa Clara, but the NFL decided to hold Super Bowl Opening Night in San Jose on Monday, so if this pick sounds like an incoherent mess, that’s because I wrote it at 1 a.m. PT after attending that event.
The biggest surprise of Opening Night is that I’m 71% sure that I heard Pat Patriot speak Spanish.

Is that going to have any impact on my Super Bowl pick? Maybe.
Let’s get to the pick and find out. Also, since I’ll be in San Francisco this week, feel free to start following me on Facebook or Twitter or Instagram or even TikTok. Yup, I started a TikTok account this week and I already regret it. There’s a good chance I’ll also eventually regret my Super Bowl pick.
Final Score Prediction: Seahawks 34 - 20 Patriots
Record picking Seahawks games this season: 14-5
Record picking Patriots games this season: 14-6
Championship Sunday
Best pick: I predicted that the Patriots would beat the Broncos by three points in the AFC title game… and guess what happened? The Patriots won by exactly three points.
Overall, if you can’t score more than 18 points against Seattle, you’re unlikely to win. It’s that simple. There were only two games this year where the Seahawks scored fewer than 18 points, and the Patriots do not know them well.
So, mark your calendars for the Super Bowl on February 8, 2026, as the Patriots take on the Seahawks.
