Seattle Seahawks vs New England Patriots Super Bowl LX Expert Pick Roundup

Super Bowl Sunday is here as the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots will face off on Sunday in Super Bowl LX. New England is looking for its seventh Lombardi Trophy, while the Seahawks are looking for No. 2.

This is a rematch from Super Bowl XLIX, which the Patriots won 28-24. Seattle fans are still bothered with the ending as head coach Pete Carroll and offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell went with a pass from the one-yard line, which was picked off. Considering they had a bulldozer like Marshawn Lynch in the backfield, this call has been criticized for more than a decade.
