This is a 10* SUPER BOWL SUPER SIDE on the Seattle Seahawks.

For a number of different reasons I think that the Seattle Seahawks are going to repeat as Super Bowl Champions. What more can be said about these two teams' strengths and weaknesses which hasn't literally been said a million times by now by every talking head and analyst in North America. Both teams are extremely well coached. New England revolves around the play of veteran QB Tom Brady; simply put, if Brady has an "off" day, then the Patriots have no chance at winning this game, or any game for that matter. The Pats improved tremendously from last year though, they are a much more complete team overall, getting balanced running and a much more competent defense and secondary. The Seahawks also have one of the best QB's in the league guiding them, as Russell Wilson is one of the NFL's most dynamic overall pivots, able to make plays with both his arm and his feet. However, if Wilson has an "off day", the Seahawks are still able to win games and it's this factor which I believe will prove to be the difference here. Certainly Wilson was not at his best in the Conference Championship win over the Green Bay Packers, and while the Hawks may have been "lucky" to win that contest, a combination of the league's best defense and a strong running game would support Wilson and give him a chance to redeem himself in the final moments. The Patriots simply don't have the same ability whatsoever. To me, this game seems eerily familiar to last year's Super Bowl when the Seahawks destoryed Peyton Manning and the Broncos and while the oddsmakers are giving the defending champs a lot more respect this time around, I definitely don't think it's enough. I won't be throwing out any ATS stats or trends today, obviously in a game like this they are meaningless. I simply feel that SEATTLE is the better overall team and expect this incredible depth on both sides of the ball to prove to be the difference in the outcome.
