  "textContent": "<p>The Sun-Times’ <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https://chicago.suntimes.com/bears\" target=\"_blank\" >Bears</a> experts make their picks for Super Bowl LX between the Patriots and Seahawks on Sunday at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif. (5:30 p.m., NBC 5):</p><p><b>Jason Lieser</b></p><p><b>Seahawks, 21-17:</b> Both teams are very good, but neither is great. The Seahawks set themselves apart, though, with an overwhelming defense that finished sixth with 25 takeaways. The Patriots, who caught a lot of breaks in their schedule this season, haven’t seen an opponent this strong.</p><p><b>Patrick Finley</b></p><p><b>Seahawks, 27-13:</b> The Patriots are maybe the worst conference champion of this decade. America spent all week trying to manifest a close game by sheer force of will — no one likes a blowout — but Sunday will be a walkover by halftime.</p><p><b>Steve Greenberg</b></p><p><b>Seahawks, 23-19:</b> If Trent Dilfer, Brad Johnson and Nick Foles could do it, heck, <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https://chicago.suntimes.com/bears/2026/02/04/former-bears-quarterbacks-coach-andrew-janockos-stock-soars-with-seahawks-qb-sam-darnold\" >Sam Darnold</a> can, too. A lot of guys could if they got to lean on a defense as tough as Seattle’s. The Patriots will hang in there and have a chance at an upset, though.</p><p><b>Scoop Jackson</b></p><p><b>Seahawks, 31-13: </b>Take Darnold, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Cooper Kupp (already a SB MVP from 2022), Nick Emmanwori, Devon Witherspoon and the “Dark Side” and coach Mike McDonald, and you have a collective that’s proven all season they’ve been obsessed on walking away with all the spoils that go to Super Bowl victors.</p>",
