00:00New England Patriots are heading to the Super Bowl.
00:03The Seahawks this morning, four and a half point favorites.
00:07Sean, is that where we are currently?
00:09I saw last night it was four.
00:11I know it opened at three and a half.
00:13Let me double check for you.
00:14I think you're right, Greg.
00:15I think the over-under was 46, I think I saw.
00:18Seahawks are four and a half point favorites.
00:2045 and a half is the over-under.
00:22Okay, all right.
00:23So a half point down on the over-under.
00:24I could see it.
00:25I could see it, you know, based on the way Seattle's offense played,
00:29especially in the NFC Championship game.
00:33You've played, you know, and I think the one thing I was thinking about
00:37more than anything, me and my man were talking about it,
00:40who we would rather face as the game was going on.
00:44And I was wondering maybe Seattle might be the better matchup
00:49only because the Rams and Stafford's offense, I think,
00:56is more likely to duplicate what we saw in the NFC Championship game.
01:01And I know the Seahawks did it, but that's not really who they are.
01:06Sam Donald thrown for over 300 yards, three touchdowns.
01:09So if I was, like, looking at one, and I said we face some really good defenses,
01:15so facing a Seattle defense when we already face the Texans,
01:20we face Denver, you know, we face the Chargers,
01:23I think it's a little bit better, but we haven't faced an offense
01:26like the Rams offense.
01:29So, and if I had to give the edge offensively,
01:33I would probably give it to the Rams.
01:35Seattle still has a good offense, don't get me wrong,
01:37but I would much maybe, I think maybe it's a better matchup.
01:41Well, that win yesterday, historic in a couple different ways.
01:44The Patriots franchise now has 40 postseason wins.
01:49That is the most in NFL history in this team.
01:53Tied with the Niners.
01:54Tied with the 49ers.
01:55And this team won nine in a row, or won nine on the road,
02:01and no team has ever done that.
02:03That is impressive.
02:03And the gauntlet that you faced throughout the postseason,
02:07especially from the defensive side, that's pretty impressive.
02:11But get ready for the national conversation with Cam Newton to be about,
02:14you're going to win a Super Bowl going through Jarrett Stidham and Sam Darnold
02:17in the conference championship in the Super Bowl.
02:19That will be, what's actually going to happen is the next two weeks,
02:22everybody's going to tell us how great Darnold is,
02:24and then if the Seahawks lose, they're going to say he sucked.
02:26That'll be the national conversation.
02:28Because it is shocking, Jarrett Stidham and Sam Darnold to win a Super Bowl.
02:32But it is such a lazy take.
02:34Like, I'm kind of over it.
02:35It's been the conversation the entire time with the Patriots.
02:37You get a schedule, you play who's in front of you, and you move on.
02:40Like any other team in the league.
02:42And I don't understand why every single time,
02:44whether it was the Chargers, whether it was the Texans,
02:47and now whether it was the Broncos,
02:48the entire broadcast is about how the Patriots
02:52are going to have a tough competitor ahead of them
02:55until the end when they're winning,
02:56and then they give all the excuses to the other team.
02:58It's like clockwork every single time.
03:01It's tired, and it seems like it's the lazy way out
03:04when it comes to these broadcasts.
03:05I mean, you could say, like, the Seahawks got to host
03:08the walking wounded in the San Francisco 49ers.
03:13So I guess you can make the case for, like,
03:15all right, you went through Stidham,
03:17and you potentially could go through Sam Darnold.
03:20But I think what you can't take away
03:23is that you, on this run,
03:26we do it all the time.
03:27We do it all the time in football where we go,
03:30oh, look at the juggernaut you faced.
03:32You went through Mahomes, Allen,
03:34and let's say Lamar Jackson offenses.
03:36You went through the Chargers,
03:40Houston, Denver, and now Seattle.
03:43Like, those are the, you know,
03:45three of the four best defenses
03:47in the National Football League.
03:50Yeah, and you beat three of them so far.
03:52So, all right.
