One game for all the marbles, and the winner gets to take home the trophy and earn the prestigious title of 2025 Silver and Black Pride Pick’em competition Champion! Oh, and Super Bowl 60 between the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots is this Sunday, too.

While the Las Vegas Raiders technically aren’t participating in the big game, it feels like we all have a rooting interest in the Seahawks with the news that offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak is set to become the Raiders’ next head coach. So even if you’re unhappy with the matchup being between two teams that the organization has had rivalries with, at least we can get a glimpse of what Las Vegas’ offense could look like in the future.

Holder’s picks: SEA -4.5, SEA ML, Under 45.5

Putting it simply, the Seahawks are the superior team, and they’re playing better in the playoffs than the Patriots are. New England’s relatively easy schedule this season has become a running joke, and they’ve gotten some luck with their playoff draws by facing some shaky offenses. The Los Angeles Chargers’ offensive line was decimated, C.J. Stroud has been declining since his rookie season for the Houston Texans, and the Denver Broncos lost starting quarterback Bo Nix the week before the Conference Championship. So, I’ll put my money on Seattle getting revenge for Super Bowl 49.

Pick’em Competition

Moving on to S&BP’s Pick’em competition, below is a look at how our writers finished in the Conference Championships.

Matt Holder 188-95-1 (66%)
Bill Williamson 183-98-1 (65%)
Ray Aspuria 177-106-1 (63%)

I already had the writer’s championship secured, but went bold a couple of weeks ago, picking the Broncos and the Los Angeles Rams to be playing this weekend. That ended up blowing up in my face and costing me an opportunity to win the overall crown. Meanwhile, Ray is the only writer who went 2-0 during the Conference Championships, as Bill also picked the Rams.

You all deserve a big pat on the back because that’s an impressive hit rate! As for the standings, the competition is JeepRaider’s to lose. It will come down to Jeep and Freddy B Good, where Jeep can win it all by correctly predicting the Super Bowl and the best Freddy can do is tie for the win.
