The weeks leading up to the Super Bowl are perfect for predictions.

From who will win the game to what color Gatorade will be poured on the winning coach, there are endless predictions made by fans and media members alike in the days leading up to the Big Game.

Early turnover predicted for Sam Darnold in Super Bowl 60

Zachary Pereles of CBS Sports joined in on the party, though Seattle Seahawks fans might not be too happy with his prediction. In a recent article, Pereles predicts that Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold will turn the ball over early in the game.

“Going back to the regular season, [Darnold] has gone three straight games without a turnover. That may not seem like much, but considering Darnold had an NFL-high 20 turnovers this season, it’s a noteworthy accomplishment,” Pereles wrote.

“It’s also a streak that will end early in the Super Bowl. Whether it’s a strip sack off the edge from K’Lavon Chaisson or up the middle from Milton Williams or an interception from either Christian Gonzalez or Carlton Davis, Darnold coughs it up early.”

Darnold led the league in turnovers during the regular season, so him coughing the ball up once in the game isn’t a crazy prediction. Plus, Pereles makes it up to Seahawks fans by predicting that Seattle will ultimately come out victorious over New England.

“We’ll roll with Seahawks 24, Patriots 20 as the Lombardi Trophy returns to the Pacific Northwest,” he wrote.

At the end of the day, if both of Pereles’ predictions come true, that’s a tradeoff that any Seahawks fans would take. In fact, they wouldn’t care if Darnold had nine turnovers as long as they walk away with a win.
