Can we just hand the Lombardi trophy to Seattle?

[Auggie]

They'll clobber New England. It'll save us all a lot of time, too.

1. Nope. Gotta play the game. NE fan since 1970 here.

2. "On any given Sunday..."

[Xavier Breath]

7. ...is the last refuge of the truly desperate.

Look, I have no dog in this fight so don't misconstrue this for a Seattle fan's smack talk. Hell, my team didn't even sniff the playoffs and the teams I genuinely dislike were all eliminated, so I have little rooting interest. I just want a good game to watch.

Having said that, if Darnold is on his game like yesterday, then Pats fans can look forward to SB XX redux.

Maybe

14. Dolphins fan here.

"On any given Sunday" is the only thing that keeps me going.

[Xavier Breath]

16. Believe me, I know of what you speak.

Too many weeks it's my crutch.

3. But what about the halftime show?

We should always play the game. This year we want the halftime show just because the performer is someone Trump doesn’t like. Don’t deny us the pleasure.

[Auggie]

6. Good point. Give Bad Bunny 90 minutes and call it a day.

4. I have ZERO dog in this fight, but it sure seems as though the sports media has already crowned

the Patriots.. That annoys me as well... We shall see, I guess, but my hope is that Green Day and Bad Bunny send Trump and MAGA into irreversible fits of rage--against THEMSELVES!

[ProfessorGAC]

20. It Seems Part Of That...

...is to maintain interest.
Watching the ESPN shows, I'd say the people picking the Seahawks are at least 3 to 1.
So those paid for their football expertise sure aren't crowning the Pat's

5. Darnold had one excellent playoff performance

Can he do it twice? Maybe, but I'll believe it when I see it.

Then again, Maye is very young and inexperienced. The odds favor the Seahawks for good reason.

[Auggie]

8. Seahawks -4.5. I expected more.

[True Dough]

11. I have seen a few with Seattle at -5

Will be interesting to see if that margin widens in the days ahead.

[Auggie]

12. Yes

[LisaM]

9. God, I hope not.

Seattle fans are completely insufferable and I have to live amongst them. Nothing would make me happier than seeing them knocked down a peg.

[Wounded Bear]

10. LOL!!!

[tishaLA]

13. I'm skipping the game, but there's a better than zero chance that Darnold will repeat

his playoff performance last year. I have no interest in seeing the game, but I can imagine Darnold looking like Mahomes in last year's DB. (I might watch the halftime because I paid way too much to get a par of Bad bunny - Adidas collaboration sneakers, though)

[mountain grammy]

15. Of course I'll watch the game and hope for a good one

I think NE has a decent defense.. that could make a difference.

[Sewa]

17. Anybody remember the helmet catch

The Giants were a big underdog and by some fluke play they won the Super Bowl.

You can’t predict the outcome of these games.

[Dem_in_Nebr.]

18. You can play the odds

but weird things happen that no one can predict.

[Totally Tunsie]

19. There are two things the Patriots love:

1) Overcoming the odds, and
2) Playing in a blizzard.

We'll settle for just the first one this Sunday.

40 years a PATS fan...GO PATS!!!

[Rebl2]

21. Yes Please!

Chiefs fan prefers Seattle Seahawks win!
