The Sun-Times' Bears experts make their picks for Super Bowl LX between the Patriots and Seahawks on Sunday at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif. (5:30 p.m., NBC 5):
Both teams are very good, but neither is great. The Seahawks set themselves apart, though, with an overwhelming defense that finished sixth with 25 takeaways. The Patriots, who caught a lot of breaks in their schedule this season, haven't seen an opponent this strong.
The Patriots are maybe the worst conference champion of this decade. America spent all week trying to manifest a close game by sheer force of will — no one likes a blowout — but Sunday will be a walkover by halftime.
If Trent Dilfer, Brad Johnson and Nick Foles could do it, heck, Sam Darnold can, too. A lot of guys could if they got to lean on a defense as tough as Seattle's. The Patriots will hang in there and have a chance at an upset, though.
Take Darnold, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Cooper Kupp (already a SB MVP from 2022), Nick Emmanwori, Devon Witherspoon and the "Dark Side" and coach Mike McDonald, and you have a collective that's proven all season they've been obsessed on walking away with all the spoils that go to Super Bowl victors.
