Danny Jaillet, Patriots WireThu, February 5, 2026 at 1:51 AM UTC·1 min readDenver Broncos cornerback Patrick Surtain II does not believe the Super Bowl matchup between the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks will be close.
When asked to give his prediction on the game, the former NFL Defensive Player of the Year predicted the Seahawks would defeat the Patriots by a "35-7" margin.

However, they failed to muster more than seven points on offense with backup quarterback Jarrett Stidham starting in place of Bo Nix. The weather conditions played a role in the low scoring as well, with the field covered in snow in the second half.
Is this simply a sour grapes prediction on Surtain's end?
That's a fair question to ask considering the Patriots ended Denver's season. However, the Seahawks have been largely favored ahead of the Super Bowl, and Surtain isn't the only one picking them to win. With that said, a 28-point blowout prediction isn't giving much respect to the Patriots in this matchup.
