The countdown to Super Bowl 60 has created a wave of anticipation across the NFL, with storylines building from every corner. From bold predictions to matchup intrigue, the spotlight is only getting brighter. One legendary Seattle Seahawks voice has now added his own forecast, and it is already fueling debate ahead of Sunday’s showdown.
Shaun Alexander Predicts Outcome of Super Bowl 60
Seahawks legend Shaun Alexander offered a confident outlook while speaking to PFSN on day four of the Super Bowl radio row, making it clear where his loyalty and belief stand before kickoff.
When asked for his final score prediction, Alexander did not hesitate. “You already know, 27-17 [Seahawks win].” He also shared his expectation for the game’s biggest individual honor, saying, “It’ll either be Jaxon, or it’ll be Kenneth. One of them will score two touchdowns; whoever scores two touchdowns will win it.”
Alexander’s prediction centers on two players who have shaped the Seahawks’ journey to the championship. Wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba has been a defining force in Seattle’s offense. Operating in Klint Kubiak’s system, he emerged as Sam Darnold’s most trusted target and led the league with 1,793 receiving yards this season.
Consistency defined his campaign, as he surpassed 70 receiving yards in 17 of 19 total games, including the playoffs. His ability to threaten defenses at every level has made him one of the most difficult matchups in the game. According to PFSN’s WR Impact Metric, Smith-Njigba finished the regular season as the second-highest-ranked receiver in the league.

On the other side of Alexander’s MVP prediction stands running back Kenneth Walker III, whose postseason surge changed the Seahawks’ offensive balance. After Zach Charbonnet suffered an injury in the NFC Divisional Round, Walker carried a heavier workload and delivered decisive performances.
He dominated against the San Francisco 49ers with 116 rushing yards and three touchdowns, then followed it with another productive outing against the Los Angeles Rams, contributing both on the ground and through the air.
Walker’s playoff impact has also sparked discussion about his future. Kevin Patra of NFL.com urged the Seahawks to secure the running back long term, writing that Walker “earned his payday” after helping drive the team to the Super Bowl. His upcoming free agency has now become one of the Seahawks’ most pressing offseason decisions.
The broader stage only amplifies Alexander’s prediction. Super Bowl 60 features the Seahawks and the New England Patriots in a rematch of their 2015 championship clash, with kickoff set for February 8 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara. Ticket demand reflects the magnitude of the event, with prices starting around $7,000 and climbing significantly for premium seating.
Alexander’s forecast ultimately reflects the identity the Seahawks have built this season, explosive playmaking paired with balance. If either Smith-Njigba or Walker delivers the two-touchdown performance Alexander expects, the legend’s prediction of the Lombardi Trophy returning to Seattle will most likely be true.
