J.J. Watt tells Pat McAfee his Super Bowl LXI pick

Former NFL star J.J. Watt appeared on The Pat McAfee Show and was asked to predict the winner of the 2027 Super Bowl. The Seattle Seahawks took home the championship in 2026, defeating the New England Patriots with a score of 29-13. Since then, the Seahawks have struggled, recording a 3-2 record. Despite their current difficulties, Watt still chose the Seahawks as his pick for the upcoming season.

In the video, Watt remarked, "What are you doing to me here, Pat? What do you want me to do here?" He acknowledged the pressure to name the defending champions, stating, "Everybody's gonna say... You gotta beat the champs to be the champs, go with the Seahawks." However, Watt pointed out that other teams such as the San Francisco 49ers, Minnesota Vikings, and Kansas City Chiefs, who are undefeated as of week six, might be stronger contenders.
