OUTCOME
CONFIRMED FALSEThe Seattle Seahawks won Super Bowl LX decisively, 29-13, the opposite of what Parkins predicted. Rather than 'lighting up' Seattle's defense, Drake Maye was completely stymied for three quarters — throwing for just 60 yards and no touchdowns through Q3, getting sacked six times, and committing three turnovers. His final stat line of 295 yards and 2 TDs was heavily inflated by garbage-time stats in the fourth quarter when the game was already out of reach.
