EPSN drew the ire of Patriots fans — including Cardi B — after five panelists wrongly predicted the Houston Texans would defeat New England in the AFC Division game.
Many changed their tune for the title game, but several writers, analysts and insiders don’t feel the same way about Super Bowl 60 between the Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks.
In ESPN’s early predictions for the Super Bowl, a total of 12 panelists unanimously picked Seattle to emerge victorious.
Jeremy Fowler said the Seahawks are the “most complete team in the league,” and Sam Darnold has renewed confidence.
The insider’s comments line up with what Patriots coach Mike Vrabel said Tuesday when he praised the Seahawks as excellent in “all three phases.”
Dan Graziano’s reasoning for picking Seattle is because he believes the Seahawks will make life “brutally tough for Maye,” while Dan Orlovsky believes New England’s offense isn’t good enough to beat Seattle’s defense.
The Patriots have been doubted throughout the playoffs. They were able to contain the Houston Texans’ defense as well as make smart decisions against the Denver Broncos.
Whether the Patriots will overcome the Seahawks as they have their other playoff opponents remains to be seen. Seattle will be New England’s toughest test yet.
