We’ve reached the big game. This is the final game of the season and a championship tilt between the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots. It wasn’t the expected matchup in September, but here we are. So, who is going to get the victory? Let’s dive in.

Seattle Seahawks (14-3) at New England Patriots (14-3)
About: The Seahawks had a magical season. Sam Darnold, cast aside by the Vikings after a 14-win season, pulled off the feat again in Seattle. Riding a strong defense, the Offensive Player of the Year in Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and a solid running game, they’ve met every challenge. The bested the Rams and 49ers to earn the No. 1 seed then did it again in the playoffs. And Darnold, who led the league in interceptions despite a strong season, saved his best for last. He went for 346 yards and three touchdowns without a turnover in beating the Rams in the NFC Championship Game. They are the favorites, and deservedly so. The Patriots, meanwhile, turned things around in a big way. They went from four wins a year ago to 14 wins, thanks in large part to NFL Coach of the Year Mike Vrabel and Assistant Coach of the Year Josh McDaniels. Both helped turn Drake Maye into an MVP candidate in his second year. In the playoffs, that offense has been hit-or-miss, as the Patriots have faced a trio of top defenses. That isn’t likely to change on Sunday, so will they have enough? I don’t think so.
The Pick: Seahawks

Last Week: 0-2
Season: 179-103
