I've been picking against the Patriots the whole playoffs.

I'm not going to stop now.

I just think, like, listen, if you're making the Patriots pick,

It's probably a coach and QB pick.

As good as I think McDonald is, having Josh McDaniel, having Mike Vrabel, having people in that organization with Super Bowl experience, because this is a different animal playing in this game.

And the quarterback, who I think is legitimately, in my opinion,

I would probably give him the MVP if it's a regular season award.

I give him the MVP.

But I think Seattle's defense and it's not just the pass rush.

I think as much as anything, the way they can erase the run phase and kind of play press and get up on these guys and take the receivers away.

Drake May loves to play with timing.

That's the one thing they've done really well there.

They've coached him to play with timing.

They have the check downs.

Their timing is going to be disrupted in this game.

The only thing I could see is like New England, as much as they've blitzed and gotten after people, if they can get Sam to do those Sam Darnold kind of things, which he's avoided in the playoffs, then they can win the game.

Find your normal as early as you can in the week.

It is such a different week.

It's a you-know-what show.

I remember when I used to travel in the NFL, your quietest moment of the week where you're finally recovering physically.
