Belichick Tabs No. 1 Seeds Broncos and Seahawks as Teams to Beat

His SiriusXM assessment points to top seeds with a home-field path after a bye.

Overview

  • Speaking with Jim Gray on SiriusXM’s “Let’s Go,” Bill Belichick identified Denver and Seattle as the favorites entering the NFL playoffs.
  • He cited balanced rosters, strong defenses, and the advantage of playing postseason games at home in outdoor conditions.
  • Belichick highlighted Denver’s track record in one-score contests as a differentiator.
  • He noted that two home wins after a week off would send each to the Super Bowl, calling that scenario doable.
  • Both teams finished 14-3 to secure first-round byes; they learn divisional-round opponents this week, with Denver set to host the lowest advancing AFC seed on Jan. 17 or 18.
