Earlier this week, we published our latest SB Nation Reacts survey, brought to you by the folks over at FanDuel Sportsbook, and we asked Detroit Lions fans to pick the winner of Super Bowl LX. The results of that survey are in, and the fans left little doubt who they believe will come home with the Lombardi trophy.
Alright, let’s take a look at the results of this week’s survey:
Not only are the Seahawks 4.5-point favorites on FanDuel Sportsbook and amongst Detroit fans, but every other NFL fan base that conducted an SB Nation survey—save the Patriots—also heavily picked Seattle to win. Additionally, they also cleanly won SB Nation’s National Survey among all NFL fans.
Let’s take a look at the comment section of our original survey for a few explanations on why fans voted the way they did (slightly edited for clarity):
- Anthony Milazo: “The Pats already lost to the Hawks once this year. This’ll be a close game but Seahawks will win it by 4 or less points.”
- LeonlinePride: “Seahawks should win, they have the #1 defense and beat Purdy and Stafford to get to the SB. Patriots beat Herbert, Stroud, and Stidham to get here. However, Patriots got through the gauntlet of the Chargers, Texans, and Broncos defenses, whereas Darnold got through two mid defenses in SF and LA, albeit division rivals. I think NE wins again, but I’ll be rooting for Seattle.”
- Rockdog77: “Seattle will crush the NE team.”
Now let’s expand the conversation for the comments section. Lions fans leaned heavily towards the Seahawks winning the Super Bowl, and so we’re curious, what about that team makes them such strong favorites? Furthermore, what are the traits that Seattle possesses that you would like the Lions to incorporate so they could also make a run at the Super Bowl next season? Share your answers in the comment section at the bottom of the page.
