Here it is: the official Richard Sherman Podcast Super Bowl picks. As always, all odds and lines come from our partners at Hard Rock Bet.
We’ve got the New England Patriots vs. the Seattle Seahawks in the Super Bowl, and Hard Rock Bet has the Seattle Seahawks as 4.5-point favorites. I’ve got the Seahawks winning this game, and here’s exactly how I see it playing out.
Seattle is going to win this game by running the football.
K9 is going to control it early and often. They’re going to drive down the field on the first drive of the game and set the tone. It’s going to be a mixture. New England will try to double JSN and take him out of the game, but they’re going to get a little bit of Barner, some K9, a little bit of Cooper Kupp, then a Shaheed pass. Maybe they get a little sprinkle of Bobo in there.
Just understand it’s going to be a little bit of everybody.
And Sam Darnold? He’s going to be a magician. A technician. All those things. They’re going to go down and score.
New England’s Early Struggles
Then New England gets the ball, and they feel good. MVP candidate in the backfield. The young kid isn’t overwhelmed – he’s ready for this moment.
But is everybody else ready for this Seattle Seahawks defensive line?
They’ve been sacked 15 times. They start slow. They start sluggish in a lot of these games, and they do it again against this great Seattle defense. They punt the ball away.
It goes back and forth. A few drives, a few punts. Not three-and-outs, but not a lot of scoring either.
At halftime, you look up and it’s 13-3 Seattle. They’re in control and feeling really good about this game.
The Second-Half Push and the Turning Point
But New England doesn’t go quietly into the night.
They come out after halftime, get the football, drive it down the field, and score a touchdown. Now it’s 13-10. That’s the kind of dogfight you expect in the Super Bowl.
But then Sam Darnold shows you this is a new Sam Darnold.
He’s got Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and that’s the wave they ride the rest of the second half. JSN has his way, has a day. Klint Kubiak gets deep in his bag, and the Seattle Seahawks walk away with a decisive victory.
Richard Sherman’s Super Bowl LX Final Score Prediction
Seattle Seahawks 24, New England Patriots 10.
Book it.
This was a great season for New England. Mike Vrabel’s rookie season – Coach of the Year-type stuff. A young quarterback with a Super Bowl appearance, a really good defense, and a strong foundation for the future.
But the Seattle Seahawks are walking away with this one.
Richard Sherman’s Super Bowl MVP Pick
You’d think it’s Jaxon Smith-Njigba, right? He’s been fantastic. Offensive Player of the Year type of season.
But no.
Super Bowl MVP is going to go to Sam Darnold.
This is the exclamation point on his resurgent season. He was the No. 3 pick in the draft, and this doesn’t seem surprising anymore.
Winning matters in the National Football League, and this man has won a lot in the last two years. Two different teams. 28 wins.
At some point, it’s got to have something to do with him.
Sam Darnold wins Super Bowl MVP: the first quarterback MVP in Seattle Seahawks Super Bowl history.
