Maryland Gov. Wes Moore capped off a stellar month of picking NFL and College Football Playoff games for WTOP by nailing his Super Bowl pick.

Not only did he predict Seattle would win (they were 4.5 point favorites over New England), he told WTOP on Friday, “I think it’s probably going to be closer to 10 … I don’t think this game is going to be close.”

The Seattle Seahawks won by 16 beating the New England Patriots 29-13 in Super Bowl LX in Santa Clara, California, on Sunday night.

Moore predicted results for 16 games in all, going 11-2 in picking games in the NFL Wild Card round, divisional round, conference championship games and Super Bowl LX.

For his college picks, he went 3-0, picking the two semifinal games and the championship game.

Overall, he went 14-2.
