NFL 2025 Super Bowl 60 Predictions

~ Scott

I’ve already spent too much time writing and thinking about Super Bowl 60 to try to hype it up much more here. So, this is going to be brief, but I’m just thinking at 4 AM, about 38 hours from kickoff, at how huge of a difference in legacy talk there is for this game compared to Super Bowl 49 between these teams 11 years ago.

That one had so much attached to it.

  • Russell Wilson could be one ring away from Brady (3 vs. 2) in just three seasons in the league and no Tuck Rule in his history.
  • Pete Carroll could repeat and arguably take over the mantle as best football coach in the 21st century with his success at USC and now a repeat.
  • The Legion of Boom would solidify itself as an all-time great defense that repeated.
  • The Patriots were trying to end their decade-long title drought after so many crushing playoff defeats.
  • Brady was still trying to tie Joe Montana and Terry Bradshaw with a 4th SB win and was in danger of falling to 3-3 in the Super Bowl with three straight losses.
  • It was the “we’re onto Cincinnati” year for Belichick, it was right after Deflategate started.

That game had a lot riding on it, there was no spread (pick ’em), and it ended up being a classic with an inexcusable late-game strategy by the Seahawks that led to the costliest interception in NFL history.

Then you jump forward 11 years and practically everyone involved in these teams is different except for the New England offensive coordinator, who was not the guy to try to call a pass in a tight space to Ricardo Lockette from the 1-yard line when Marshawn Lynch was ready to run through a motherfucker’s face over and over.

But really, what are the stakes here? Mike Vrabel’s penis? Or did he already get it chopped off to help win this ring? It’s just Year 1 for Vrabel-Maye and it’s also Year 1 for Macdonald-Darnold. One year and they’re in the Super Bowl. How’s that feel, Buffalo and Baltimore fans? Eight years and not one of these for those teams.

Instead, we get to see if The Schedule can get it don against Sam Darnold, the No. 1 reason people will still pick the Patriots because they’re afraid of him imploding on the biggest stage. I’m one of those people. But very cool story if he actually kicks their ass and wins this game.

But enough talking. I already gave my final score the other day, so here’s the links with a 7,300-word preview of the game, as well as my supporting stories and betting picks that can help you pass some time before Sunday’s kickoff. We made it.

FINAL: Patriots 23, Seahawks 20
