With the Super Bowl just around the corner, the Denver Broncos' Patrick Surtain II is still nursing a bitter taste from the AFC Championship loss to the New England Patriots. Despite the Patriots' victory, Surtain, a Pro Bowl participant, is confident in his prediction for the upcoming Super Bowl.
When asked about the game's outcome, Surtain boldly declared, '35-7 Seahawks' to Guerilla Sports on Monday. This prediction comes as no surprise, considering the Patriots' recent dominance over the Broncos in the AFC Championship, where they secured a 10-7 win.
Surtain, a Defensive Player of the Year, First-Team All-Pro, and a consistent Pro Bowler, believes that the absence of Bo Nix in the Broncos' lineup played a significant role in the team's performance. He suggests that with Nix, the AFC Championship might have had a different outcome.
The Patriots, despite being underdogs, have a strong offense that ranked second in points and third in yards during the regular season. However, Surtain's prediction of a blowout suggests a different perspective. He argues that the Patriots' offense, while impressive, may not be enough to overcome the Seahawks' elite defense.
The Seahawks, with their 14-win regular season record, present a formidable challenge. Yet, Surtain's prediction highlights a potential underestimation of the Patriots' capabilities. The question remains: Can the Patriots defy the odds and surprise Surtain with a Super Bowl victory?
