Superbowl Week is upon us!
Get ready for the week leading up to one of America’s biggest hollidays, as grocery stores go all out, making football themed baked goods, while radio commercials mention “the big game” because they don’t have rights to use “Super Bowl”. But who is going to win?
Seattle Running Game vs. New England Rush Defense
Seattle has the best rushing offense in the game, and that is because of Marshawn Lynch. I already said how I think that Marshawn Lynch is the best player on Seattle, and I’m not going to go into that again, but Marshawn Lynch is the best running back in the NFL. Because he has plays like this.
And this.
Anyway, let’s focus on the New England line. They currently have the 9th best run defense in the NFL, and only gave up 83 yards in the Conference Championship, but that was against the Colts, so..
Advantage: Seahawks
Seattle Passing Game vs. New England Pass Defense
The New England Patriots have a great pass defense, who just held Andrew Luck in check. The combination of Darrelle Revis and Brandon Browner is one of the best 1-2 punches at corner in the league. As for the Seattle pass offense, Russel Wilson is good, the receivers are, well, only ok. But I’m scared to say that after this.
Advantage: Patriots
New England Rush Offense vs Seattle Rush Defense
I mention Marshawn Lynch, but LeGarrette Blount hasn’t been too shabby himself. He rushed for 148 yards last week, and ever since he has gotten the starting job, he’s played very well. No matter how good Blount has been, he’s facing Seattle’s number 1 ranked rush defense.
Advantage: Seahawks
New England Pass Offense vs Seattle Pass Defense
I know that you aren’t supposed to vote against Tom Brady, but he does not have enough weapons to really put away a team like Seattle. (How much can you expect Rob Gronkowski to do?) Can you imagine how good the Patriots would be if they invested in wide receivers? I don’t think that we would be talking about the Patriots winning the Super Bowl for the first time in 10 years. But this all comes down to the health of Earl Thomas and Richard Sherman. Right now it looks like thy will play. And if they play, I think the Seahawks win.
Advantage: Seahawks
Final Score: Seahawks 3, Patriots 1.
Winner: Seahawks
Enjoy the Superbowl!
