Super Bowl XLIX between the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks should be a battle for the ages. A meeting between the top seed’s in both the AFC and NFC is something we rarely see in the big game. Both teams have outstanding defenses with a truckload of talent on that side of the ball.
Don’t sleep on their offenses either. Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is clearly battle-tested in the playoffs and Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson boast a undefeated record in the postseason. Ultimately, I believe this game will come down to which team can run the ball better since both teams will have trouble doing much through the air.
In that case, I’m going to go with the Seattle Seahawks because running back Marshawn Lynch is just too much to handle. Wilson will have to be careful with the ball though, because he can’t turn it over four times again and expect to win. That just isn’t going to happen against the Patriots, Brady will make him pay for that.
But ultimately, I believe Wilson takes care of the ball and the Seahawks ride their work-horse Marshawn Lynch to another Super Bowl victory. Lynch will go over 100 rushing yards with a pair of touchdowns, thus winning the game’s MVP award as well. He’ll take the podium, snatch the award, grab the microphone and say “Roger Goodell, HOLD MY D*CK!”, then grab his crotch and retire into the sunset.
