I will admit, I didnt expect the Seahawks to do so well. Other than Walker and Smith-Ngigba, I didnt think they had much at the other skill positions, including Kupp, who struggled for stretches. I knew Charbonnet could play but didnt think he or Walker would do much behind this offensive line. This line has had a great year, cutting the sacks in half, though now, seeing what Smith has done in Vegas, he didnt have the pocket awareness Darnold showed this season.

Adding Shaheed was a luxury and the Patriots better prepare for him. Kubiak did a great job, after the team let go of Metcalf, Smith Lockett and Fant.

For completeness, there was some SB-only picks and some random comments/predictions, obviously no one had SEA and/or NE and any specific comments that were on-point I think have already been noted.

Of those that did the traditional predictions from this yearly thread, the way we've primarily done it the last decade and a half or so with at-least predicting playoff teams/division winners and SB picks. Was only five of us that did that this year, as it's always been easier to post "I had that" after the fact than posting before it happens. So props to them and to those that made a Super Bowl pick, like Citizen, which was the most interesting post in the thread probably.

-JWL was the only one to have the Jaguars in the playoffs and the bonus point for also having them winning the AFC South.

-And as previously noted, 74_75_78_79_ was the only one to have the Patriots in the playoffs and Reaser was the only one to have the Seahawks in the playoffs.
