Denver Broncos star cornerback Pat Surtain II made a bold prediction for Super Bowl LX, forecasting a 35-7 victory for the Seattle Seahawks over the New England Patriots. Surtain, the reigning Defensive Player of the Year, is still feeling the sting of the Broncos' AFC Championship Game loss to the Patriots and appears to be holding a grudge.

Why it matters

Surtain's prediction is sure to ruffle some feathers, especially among Patriots fans. While many share his view that the Seahawks will win handily, his lopsided 35-7 forecast is seen by some as Surtain being "salty" about the Broncos' playoff defeat. This adds an extra layer of intrigue and potential bulletin board material heading into the big game.

The details

Surtain made the prediction while participating in the Pro Bowl Games in San Francisco. He believes the Seahawks will defeat the Patriots by four scores, a margin that has only been achieved in six Super Bowls in history - three of which the Broncos have been on the losing end of. The Broncos' general feeling is that they were the better team in the AFC title game and would have beaten the Patriots if not for an injury to quarterback Bo Nix.

  • Surtain made the prediction on Tuesday, February 3, 2026.
  • Super Bowl LX is scheduled for Sunday, February 9, 2026.
