Super Bowl LX Preview: Jeff Kerr Picks Seahawks Over Patriots, Predicts 10-Point Blowout

Super Bowl LX is Sunday, and the Birds 365 crew has their picks locked in. NFL reporter Jeff Kerr sees a convincing Seahawks victory. Zander Krause is going contrarian with the Patriots. And John McMullen? He just wants to see Milton Williams get his ring.

Here is the full Super Bowl breakdown from Monday's Birds 365 with the key matchups, predictions, and former Eagles who could be the difference-makers.

Kerr's Pick: Seahawks by 10 or More

Kerr did not mince words about his Super Bowl LX prediction.

I'll go Seahawks. I like this Patriots team, but I just think Sal's too good, and I'm big on Mike McDonald. I hate to say it, I think it's gonna be at least a 10-point game. — Jeff Kerr

The "Sal" in question is Sam Darnold, whose remarkable journey from New York Jets bust to Seahawks franchise quarterback has been one of the great redemption stories in recent NFL history. After leading the Minnesota Vikings to the playoffs before being allowed to walk in free agency — a decision that looks worse by the day — Darnold found his footing in Seattle under Mike McDonald's player-friendly system.

McMullen took it a step further, predicting the ultimate narrative: "Super Bowl MVP Sam Darnold. Four touchdowns."

The Defensive Matchup That Will Decide It

While the quarterback storyline will dominate the national coverage, Kerr zeroed in on the players he believes will truly determine the outcome.

Leonard Williams and DeMarcus Lawrence are going to determine this football game for better or worse. — Jeff Kerr

Williams and Lawrence anchor the Patriots' defensive front and represent New England's best chance of disrupting Darnold and the Seahawks' offensive attack. If they can generate consistent pressure, Drake May and the Patriots offense might have a chance to keep it competitive.

Drake May's Postseason Struggles

The biggest concern for Patriots backers — and the primary reason Kerr is picking against New England — is Drake May's inconsistent postseason performance.

Drake May can't play as bad as he has this postseason. — Jeff Kerr

McMullen agreed that May has been "brutal" in the playoffs. Krause offered a historical counterpoint, noting that Tom Brady won early in his career without being asked to do much. But the comparison only goes so far — Brady had a historically great defense carrying him, while May's Patriots need him to be more than a game manager against Seattle's elite unit.

Former Eagles in the Spotlight

The Super Bowl features several former Eagles who could make a significant impact, and the Birds 365 crew made sure to highlight them.

Milton Williams (Seahawks DT)

Krause predicted a monster game for the former Eagles defensive tackle. "You guys know who's gonna have a big game. Milton freaking Williams, baby," Krause said. Williams had two sacks in last year's Super Bowl, and all three hosts expressed genuine affection for the player and hope that he finally gets his championship ring.

Josh Sweat (Seahawks DE)

Kerr noted that Sweat delivered the best individual performance in last year's Super Bowl without winning the MVP award. Another dominant showing could finally earn him the recognition he deserves on the biggest stage.

Rashid Shaheed (Seahawks WR)

McMullen highlighted Shaheed as one of the underrated trade acquisitions of the season, calling him a "manufactured touch player" who creates space for the Seahawks' offense. McMullen added pointedly that the Eagles need to find a similar type of player.

The Klint Kubiak Distraction

One subplot hanging over the game is that Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak is expected to be named a head coach after the Super Bowl. McMullen expressed concern about whether Kubiak can maintain focus with his future job already lined up — drawing a direct parallel to Jonathan Gannon's situation before Super Bowl LVII.

I just hope to God he can concentrate for the Super Bowl. I don't know how he could do it. — John McMullen

The Contrarian Pick: Krause Takes the Patriots

Krause acknowledged he was going against the grain but laid out his reasoning. He loves Mike Vrabel as a head coach, believes in Drake May's ceiling, and sees a Patriots defense capable of keeping the game close. It is a gutsy pick in a week where the Seahawks are heavy favorites.

Super Bowl LX kicks off Sunday. Whether it is Darnold's coronation or May's breakout, the Birds 365 crew will be watching — and rooting for every former Eagle on the field.
