“Jarrett Stidham will beat the Pats and then the Seahawks”

What we’re scoring

Preserve the stated sequence and named matchup. Do not substitute a generic championship-winner contract or invent a result for a game that was not played. This uses the same failed-premise rule as the unavailable-at-pick-16 Jets decision. Jev treated the sequence as contradicted and flagged fidelity. Reviewer retains the literal named matchup and a void because that matchup never occurred, while the independent conference-final and MVP forecasts remain incorrect. This is a grading-rule decision, not an invented played-game result.

The ruling

Denver lost the conference final and never played Seattle in the Super Bowl. The specified Denver-Seattle matchup did not occur; its result is void. The prior Denver conference-final win forecast is separately incorrect.
