What’s your score prediction for Super Bowl LX?
“Patriots 20 - Seahawks 24. I feel like I’m being generous to the Patriots here, given their offense so far in the postseason. I do also think it’s about time they paid back for the former New England Patriots cornerback Malcolm Butler’s interception.” —Saif Iftikhar, junior
“Patriots 27 - Seahawks 34.” —Max Schwartz, junior
“Patriots 17 - Seahawks 14.” — Nathan Lee, sophomore and Patriots fan
“Patriots 18 - Seahawks 27.” —Janice Chen, sophomore
“Patriots 20 - Seahawks 34. Most of the New England Patriots offense’s chances have been generated from opposing teams’ mistakes. Considering how the Seattle Seahawks’ offense has played all year and in the postseason, they should be able to limit their mistakes, and the Patriots’ defense won’t be able to keep up. This means the Patriots’ offense will need to be more efficient offensively than they’ve had to do all postseason and all year. I’ll give Drake Maye and his offensive line enough respect to reach roughly 20 points, but they’ll just be trying to keep up with the Seahawks—just like the Los Angeles Rams were, but with a worse offense.” —Saxon Rassner, junior
“Patriots 27 - Seahawks 24.” —Jiho Lee, sophomore and Patriots fan
“Seahawks Belt.” —Zamir Karim, junior
“Patriots 19 - Seahawks 30.” —Krish Singhal, sophomore
“Seahawks by a lot. [They are] arguably one of the most complete teams in the NFL, and have showcased elite talent throughout the playoffs. The Patriots, despite an impressive season, have shown real signs of inconsistency. They struggled against a Broncos team missing Bo Nix, and the luck of the schedule they played suggests they are weaker than their record implies. If this game somehow stays close, Seattle better hope New England does not tap into the classic Patriots playoff clutch factor that has been on display this year. And they definitely better not repeat history and throw a game-losing pick on the one-yard line, as they infamously did the last time these two matched up in the Super Bowl.” —Daniel Sokolovsky, junior
“Patriots 20 - Seahawks 26.” —Nina Benson, junior
“Patriots 24 - Seahawks 31.” —Alexander Smelyansky, junior
“Patriots 31 - Seahawks 27. The amount of hate we are getting means we’re back. New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye will be able to play in good weather and will actually have a real shot at moving the ball downfield and taking deeper shots. Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold was great this year, although he played against a relatively weak Los Angeles Rams secondary and an injury-riddled San Francisco 49ers. He also led the league in turnovers this season. Patriots pull off the upset.” —Anay Shandilya, freshman and Patriots fan
“Patriots 20 - Seahawks 35.” —Angelica Pan, sophomore
“Patriots 20 - Seahawks 23.” —Peter Skorney, freshman
