SAN FRANCISCO (WISH) — Just like every Super Bowl, everybody has an opinion on who is going to win the biggest game in sports.
Celebrities and members of the media on Radio Row weighed in on who they think is going to win the matchup between the Patriots and the Seahawks.
Former NFL quarterback and NFL analyst Dan Orlovsky – Seahawks
“Seattle. Seattle and the Rams were the two best football teams for me over the past three plus months. I truly felt whoever won the NFC was going to be the Super Bowl champion.”
NFL Network host Kyle Brandt – Patriots
“Well, everybody loves the Seahawks, which makes me kind of like the Patriots. There’s one thing I don’t want to do right now and I don’t want to bet against Mike Vrabel. I know they don’t have the same personnel. I don’t have the same eye test or tape. I’m starting to get a little twitch in my finger about the Patriots.”
Former NFL linebacker and NFL analyst Emmanuel Acho – Seahawks
“All strategy, logic, and film points to the Seahawks. Seahawks got more dudes. At the end of the day, players make plays. And Seahawks got more players. Patriots are tough, well-coached. They got dudes too, Milton Williams, Christian Gonzalez, but they just ain’t got enough bullets in the chamber.”
Actor and comedian Keegan-Michael Key – Seahawks
“Seattle. The defense is going to take over. Just what the deal is, left side of the Patriots line, little compromise, defense is going to get through. They’re going to get to Drake May at least twice.”
Former NFL linebacker and NFL analyst Manti Te’o – Seahawks
“I think when I look at both of these teams, the Seattle Seahawks are the more dominant defense. It’s going to come down to the defense. If I had to make a choice, I’d have to lean a little bit towards Seattle because of that defense.”
Former NFL quarterback Matt Hasselbeck – Seahawks
“I’m absolutely hoping for and planning for a parade in Seattle after the game. But if not, I live in Boston. So I mean, there’s a parade there too. But you know who I’m rooting for.”
Kickoff for the Patriots and Seahawks matchup in The Big Game is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. on Sunday.
