At first glance I looked at this match up and the task ahead of my Patriots was tall. The reigning champs have the best defense in the NFL since the Ravens of the early 2000's and they have proven to compete the full 60 minutes. However, drawing closer to the Super Bowl is making me more and more confident that the Patriots will go out and take care of business.
Both defenses are capable of shutting down the other teams offense but the mitigating factor is we have an offense that is versatile while the Seahawk offense completely revolves around Marshawns running game. My prediction is Patriots jump out to an early lead and don't give it up. Seahawks cannot fully commit to the run playing from behind and end up losing.
Pats win 28-17
Reading various topics in this forum it is clear that the Seahawks nation has little to no idea what they will be facing on Sunday. The comparisons of this Patriots team with the Broncos or Packers is completely laughable, the similarities are few and far between.
This Sunday, hawk is on the menu.
