Eli Manning is tossing out his take on Super Bowl LX.

The NFL legend weighed in on the upcoming game between the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks—set to take place at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., Feb. 8—calling the pairing of the two teams “a matchup worth celebrating.”

“New England’s turnaround from last year shows what can happen when all of the pieces click at the right time,” he said as part of his partnership with Knob Creek Bourbon. “And Seattle’s dominant defense and resurgent offense combined to solidify their spot.”

But since only one team will come away with the Vince Lombardi Trophy, the 45-year-old revealed which city he predicts will take it all.

“My pick is Seattle,” he explained, “because they have been more consistent on both sides of the ball throughout the final stretch.”

A two-time Super Bowl champion himself, Eli is uniquely familiar with what it takes to go the distance. As such, he shared how both franchises can set themselves up for success.

“My advice for Seattle and New England ahead of [Super Bowl] Sunday is to stay focused on what got you here,” he continued. “Don't overthink it, don't get caught up in all the noise and distractions. Trust what you've built all year, lean on each other, and when the moment comes, be bold. That's what it takes.”

The former New York Giants quarterback may be pulling for the Seahawks, but the Patriots have their own high-profile cheerleader: Cardi B, who said she was “very proud” of boyfriend Stefon Diggs after he helped the AFC champions secure their Super Bowl spot.

“He just came back from an ACL [injury] and me seeing the progress and the process of him, from the first time he started running back, and now joining the Patriots and actually going to the Super Bowl, I’m very excited for him,” she told the NFL Network in a Jan. 25 interview. “Very excited for the whole team, they been working they butts out.”
