The Ringer NFL Show
Super Bowl Preview and Picks From Radio Row!

We had some good food out there.

So that part has been nice, you know, but as far as Super Bowl goes, not my favorite.

The Ringer NFL Show

That's my problem is that I would stare at the steering wheel the entire time.

The Ringer NFL Show

I mean, the latter part is certainly true, but I think the bigger problem, I might argue that we're more spoiled now than we were during the Brady era because of how quickly Patrick Mahomes has become the preeminent guy in terms of quarterback play, right?

And to have a playoff run where there is no Patrick Mahomes, there is no Lamar Jackson, you get Josh Allen in and out of the playoffs relatively quickly and kind of going out under rough circumstances with all his turnovers.

I'm not going to say it's a juiceless Super Bowl.

It is probably the lowest profile Super Bowl we've had since, God, I don't know.

I don't even know when the last time you would say you would have a game that was competitive with this.

Maybe Cardinal Steelers, because Ben Roethlisberger.

I mean, you're talking about the end of Kurt Warner still.

That's still a guy that you were probably thinking was going to make the Hall of Fame by the time that game happened.

So even in that, you know, it's tough to think about a game that's been this low profile in the Super Bowl over the last 15, 20 years.

Okay, so part of my problem is that I'm a total coward.

So when Patriots people are talking to me, I feel like I almost owe them, like, a little bit of plausible deniability that this game might go a certain way, right?

I just left talking to Patriots people, and I'm like, I think Seahawks by maybe a touchdown.

In my heart of hearts, when, you know, our editor asked for a prediction,

I will say I did not have it as a six-point game, the way that I've said while I've been on Radio Row.

So this one ended up being cut from the X-Factors piece.

But I will say, Gray Zabel, actually.

The Gray Zabel versus Milton Williams matchup.
