Convince me Pats Have a Chance

[Jrgum3]

The Pats have a chance because of their defense. I don't think they're going to score enough points though is the problem. Initially I like the Under 46 because I expect both defense to dominate play in this one and the score to be like Seattle 24-17.

In the last five games Patriots have given up an average of 7.2 points. I guess their defense wouldn't compare to Seahawks though.

they have a cb to shut down jsn

The Patriots have the best defense Seattle has seen all season and their roster is healthy.

Just looking at their season stats these teams are so evenly matched it's incredible. Big edge for Pats at QB though.

I do not want to see Darnold win as a bitter Jets fan and I cannot bet him. I rather bet props than bet the Seahawks at this point. What is something that defends taking the Pats with the spread?

They will NOT lose this game man. A great reason to take the points. Better defense better QB and Sweet ML.

If Darnold plays poorly against pressure and JSN is not open(double teamed)the Seahawks have no chance. I’m on the Patriots because of their defense and Vrabel.

Pats are going to win, Jamesy.

i think the Pats can stop the seahawks. i do worry if the pats can score enough.

thank you all for your inputs. i love threads like this.

All I can think about is if the Patriots have Sam Darnold running for his life and how he will get the blame for it again if they lose

You know it's only a matter of time before he shits the bed. He's the NFC version of Josh Allen.

It would be fukkin hilarious if it happened on the biggest stage in the biggest moment of his life. It's going to happen.

I'm taking Pats.

it would be hilarious and even better against his old nemesis

as good as he has looked, you have to stop the connection with JSN. if you do that, he has no safety net or ability to create.

If Genie was coaching them they'd win easy!

DOon't ruin the thread Stevek haha

If you dont think the Pats have a chance, just go back to last year and see how Darnold performed in the last two games of his season.

Pats have a defense that can smack Darnold around and he is a turnover machine

I hope you're right because I don't want Seattle to celebrate a Super Bowl victory on my Niners field. It's bad enough that I have to watch them in the Super Bowl but the game is in my teams backyard so I will be rooting against Seattle with every fiber of my being but man I don't know if the Pats can do it. They have the defense but at the end of the day they're going to have to figure out how to put points on the board and I'm not sure they can.

Based on the 2025 NFL season (concluding with the playoffs in January 2026), the New England Patriots finished with a 14-3 regular-season record and advanced to the Super Bowl.
Scoring Summary (Including Playoffs):
Regular Season PPG: The Patriots averaged 28.8 points per game during the 2025 regular season.
Postseason PPG: Through the AFC Championship, the Patriots averaged 18.0 points per game in the 2025-26 playoffs.. With their defense and everyone on Seattle. This guy is going to show out.

Drake Maye is the great equalizer to me. Yes Seattle has a great defense but that same defense was shredded by Matthew Stafford. It's going to take that kind of play from Maye to pull off a win. I think he can do it but it won't be easy.

Stafford made Seattle's defense look very mediocre multiple times. I still think Seahawks got lucky in the NFC Championship with the PR fumble in the 2nd half. However, same can be said of the Pats in all honesty.
