The game may end up being a pick em by gametime. It's easy to see why. Nobody has a strong feeling on the outcome. You can make a case for either team.
Seattle - Russell Wilson's scrambling could be too much for a pats defense that is slow in the front 7. The pats lack of deep threat WRs could mean Seattle just smothers the run and the short passes.
New England - The pats physical front 7 holds Lynch in check. Revis takes away half the field. Seattle's mediocre WRs can't get open without a strong run game. Seattle has trouble with Gronk. It forces them out of their base defense more than they'd like. With Cam Chencellor worried about Gronk, the pats can run the ball which opens up play action.
This really should be a close game. It will probably turn on a special teams play of a turnover.
I'm thinking Seattle wins.
