The Seattle Seahawks enter Super Bowl Sunday as heavy favorites against the New England Patriots, and the confidence level among the 12s is high. The Patriots path to victory appears razor-thin, relying heavily on Drake Maye's mobility, hopes for multiple Seattle turnovers, and the chance that Jaxon Smith-Njigba can somehow be stopped by this New England defense that has only faced two of the league's best wideouts this season. The Pats offensive line faces a nightmare matchup against Seattle's defensive front led by Leo Williams and DeMarcus Lawrence. The Patriots postseason run—featuring wins over injury-depleted teams and bottom-tier offensive lines—pales in comparison to Seattle's gauntlet through the NFC West.

Nick Emmanwori sustained an ankle injury this week, which does provide some concern for the defense. But we've seen how capable the depth of this defense was in dealing with Emmanwori's absense earlier in the season as well as the injury to Julian Love. Mike Macdonald should be able to plan around any limitations by the rookie defender. In an episode earlier this week, we enjoyed a guest with thoughful football analysis. In this show, we're getting into 'Know Your Rival' mode with one of the Patriots bitter rivals. Dolphins fan Sam Marcoux is back on the show to talk about everything we need to know about the Pats and their entitled fanbase.

Offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak's impending departure to the Raiders has loomed over the leadup to this game. What potential impact could it actually have in this matchup? The NFL Honors ceremony was happening as we recorded and Jaxon Smith-Njigba was the only one to be awarded one of the top honors -- offensive player of the year. We discuss some of the wildest narratives and idiotic lines of questions in the Do Better Segment. Better at life honors go out to a group of monks and their walk for peace as well as the NFL for sending our NFC West rivals into a dangerous country to start the 2026 season.

The Super Bowl matchup between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots has a chance to be a defensive slugfest or a passing shootout -- depending on how these teams approach it. Bootleg Football's EJ Snyder breaks down Drake Maye's rise in year two, comparing his production and elusiveness to a rival quarterback. The Patriots' offensive line remains a question mark, particularly on the left side where rookie Will Campbell is battling through a knee injury. The marquee individual battle features Jaxon Smith-Njigba going up against Christian Gonzalez's coverage, a clash of top-tier talents that could determine the game's outcome. Despite the Patriots impressive turnaround under Mike Vrabel, the Seahawks defense is peaking at the perfect time, and Sam Darnold's statement performance should prove he's ready for the moment.
