Nearly 128 million people are expected to watch Sunday’s Superbowl Championship game between the 17-3 New England Patriots and the 16-3 Seattle Seahawks.
One of those people who will be watching the Superbowl LX game on television is Biddeford’s relatively new city manager Truc Dever.
Dever relocated to Biddeford last summer from her home in Kirkland, Wash., a Seattle suburb where she served as that city’s public works director.
When asked Wednesday about which team she would be rooting for, Dever took in a deep breath and paused before offering her reply.
“I’m probably going to get in a lot of trouble for saying this, but I’ll be cheering for the Seahawks,” she admitted.
When asked to predict the game’s outcome, Dever laughed: “I’m probably in enough trouble already.”
Dever was previously asked a similar question last year, when she was interviewed by Biddeford Gazette reporter Jim Krause.

Dever said she is looking forward to watching the game, cheering for Seattle from deep in the heart of Patriots’ territory.
“I’ll likely be texting with some of my former coworkers throughout the game,” she said. “I think it’s going to be a lot of fun.”
Apparently, there are some things that still bring people together.
Ben Affleck fans from both coasts are looking forward to the actor’s much-anticipated Dunkin’ Donuts commercial during Sunday’s game.
Note: Biddeford resident Paul Burgess inspired this story. Moreover, Burgess predicted the Seahawks will trounce New England, 35-7.
