Super Bowl Pick

Seattle Seahawks/New England Patriots: the compelling rematch over a decade later of the infamous pass that lost a Super Bowl, both teams completely new(?), and likely focused on other things. Their regular season stats are close without any noteworthy discrepancies, both having defeated a team from Los Angeles in the playoffs, both defences shining at opportune times. Seattle looks like the better team and they defeated two strong division rivals to make the Super Bowl, the Rams did seem like they might win, but the 'hawks just kept on scoring more touchdowns. I haven't been that impressed with the Patriots' offence during the postseason, but their regular season stats are crazy, it would be cool to see Drake Maye have a huge game, he's so young and incredibly fortunate. Sam Darnold looks so much like an old childhood friend though, who was often mistaken for my brother, and he's been playing exceptionally well, how could I possibly not pick him? Seattle's won 4 of their last 5 meetings and 7 of their last 10, but New England won the only game that counts, late in the 4th, 28-24. It seems like the best thing I can do for the Patriots is indeed not to pick them, since I haven't picked them three times and they've come up with three huge playoff wins. But at the end of the day, isn't that a bit crazy, bizarro mysticism likely not a factor? Seattle does look like the better team. Picking the Seahawks, hoping it's close.
