    Super Bowl Preview: Vrabel vs. Macdonald — Rob & Jerry Make Their Picks!

    Rob is joined by Jerry for a full Super Bowl preview as the duo breaks down Patriots vs Seahawks from every angle — starting with coaching, matchups, and the biggest X-factors that could decide the game. Rob explains why he’s riding with New England, emphasizing his belief in Mike Vrabel and the importance of elite coaching on the biggest stage. He highlights key X-factors including K'Lavon Chaisson’s potential impact as a disruptor up front and Mack Hollins as a sleeper touchdown candidate, while also stressing that the Patriots must establish the run — potentially leaning on heavier personnel packages to counter Seattle’s deep and relentless pass rush. Jerry makes the case for Seattle, pointing to their dominant defensive line and overall defensive identity, while sharing his belief that Sam Darnold is ready for this Super Bowl moment. The two also dive into the quarterback matchup between Darnold and Drake Maye, the contrasting offensive lines, and why trench play on both sides will be pivotal. The episode wraps with final predictions, coaching philosophy, and a reflection on Sam Darnold’s remarkable journey — becoming the first quarterback in NFL history to lead two different teams to the No. 1 seed in back-to-back seasons.
