The players
New England Patriots
The Patriots are making their 12th Super Bowl appearance and are seeking their 7th championship.
Seattle Seahawks
The Seahawks are making their 4th Super Bowl appearance and are seeking their 2nd championship.
What they’re saying
“In Super Bowl history, the team with the better defensive rank via point against has won 67% of the time. The Seahawks have the much better defense. As much as I love stats, Patriots 30, Seahawks 27”
— Zane Fyfe, Apponequet head coach (southcoasttoday.com)
“The Patriots don't think they can lose. They believe in what they're doing.”
— Dennis Golden, Bishop Stang head coach (southcoasttoday.com)
“Pats by two. I feel like the Patriots have a shot if they keep the game close. I feel like we have a coaching advantage, but Seattle is a very good football team. I worry about the offensive line.”
— Rick White, Dartmouth head coach (southcoasttoday.com)
“Probably going to lose some fans here, but 24-17 Seahawks. Seattle can get pressure and spy the quarterback at the same time. Pats are really good, but are here a year or two early. They will win one in the next couple of years though.”
— Derek Almeida, Fairhaven head coach (southcoasttoday.com)
“Patriots 24-20 and Drake Maye is your Super Bowl MVP. Take it to the bank!”
— Matt Silva, GNB Voc-Tech head coach (southcoasttoday.com)
