In the championship game, I notice the front 4 of the Seahawks were not able to touch Rogers at all. Yet, the Hawks kept the Packers from scoring 50 points. The Hawks' secondary must have done a great job of pass coverage despite the Hawks' offense had a terrible game. When you had 5 turnovers and still won the game, you must have something other than a lucky bounce.

Your only chance of beating the Patriots is to have superior pass coverage; not pass rush. I've never seen any team that can put pass rush pressure on Brady before; let alone the Seahawks' pass rushers who could not even touch Rogers last week. The Hawks will have to rely ENTIRELY on their secondary to will this game. With Earl Thomas and Sherman banged up, I don't see any chance of the Hawks beating the Patriots.....this is why I'm rooting for the underdog Hawks to win this game

I need to know if they are playing with regulation sized balls or not before I can answer this question.

I knew who was gonna win w/ the last Superbowl, lol
And I shocked a lot of people here when I told them who was going to win.

Although I'm not even a football fan, I'm always on the money w/ my predictions.
I already know who's gonna do it this year......

you base this on just 1 game? sometimes a team with a good pass rush will have an off game....it happens.......Wilson had an off game......great teams normally don't have off games back to back.


Patriots are a perfect example....they look very beatable and their defense vulnerable against the Ravens and look better the next week against the Colts.



Hawks will let the Patriots move the ball with short passes....but the Hawks will stop the run and defend against big plays and force the Patriots to kick field goals once they get to the red zone and force Brady to take chances.

Go ask Rodgers how many field goals they had to kick and Packers have a better offense than the Pats.

When the Bills beat the Packers this year in Buffalo the Bills only got one sack on Rodgers and they have arguably the best defensive line in the NFL. Now, that one sack was a big one, a strip sack by Mario Williams that went for a safety to effectively end the game.

But it happens, even to the best.

Jets have been a pretty good team at getting to Brady. They sacked Brady 7 times in their two games this year. The Jets, with all their problems, loss two games to the Patriots of all teams by a combined 3 points! If I were Pete Carroll and the Seahawks I would be watching that game film.

I predicted Denver would run over Seattle with ease. My prediction was based on the championship game; Denver's pass rushers were able to put pressure on Brady that I had not seen from any teams for a very long time.

Default Hawks will take this one

I thought the Packers were the team to beat this year, until Seattle began to make their run. The Packers beat the Patriots. The Packers were beating the Seahawks for most of that game until they imploded. The better team won, pure and simple.

Hawks! I was right last year too.
