    I guess he forgot that the second SB was in Indianpolis, not Glendale.

    If Seattle's defense is on and ET is good to go, Seattle takes it. This defense is just historic, it's been proven time and time again.

    After a game like that, I don't think Wilson will play that bad again especially for a game of this magnitude.

    The Patriots do have a pretty good defense of their own though, so Seattle will need to have a really good game plan offensively if they do want to win.

    For the Patriots to win, I think they'll need to have success running the ball. Gronk will obviously have to be a monster. The best thing about this matchup is Belichick knows how to surprise defenses, so it'll be a nice chess match between Seattle's defense and New England's offense.

    I think the best match up in this game is probably going to be Gronk vs. Chancellor. Should be interesting what kind of game plan the Seahawks have for covering him. I know they had a pretty good game plan for Julius Thomas when they played Denver, but Gronk is just a different animal.

    I definitely see it being a close game, wouldn't surprise me if a FG won it for either side.

    Seattle in a close one.

    I'll say 27-21.

    Hope it's true, but story is out of Indy. So probably just some sour guava. Goodell is in a bad position to try and cover this up if it's happening though. A cover up would be in the best interest for the shield. But if real, it will get some legs becaause Goodell has to be wide open and transparent this year.

    Jesus I hate both of these teams so much! Seattle is so ****ing arrogant with jerkwads like Richard Sherman and that Baldwin guy and Lynch but then you have the Patriots who are always doing cheap **** and bending rules as much as they can. Will probably be the first Super Bowl that I will NOT watch.

    While I don't have any particular love for the Pats, I absolutely DESPISE the seahawks, and so I am hoping the SB plays out like this:

    Seahawks = Prince Naseem Hamed

    Patriots = Marco Antonio Barrerra

    Look it up if you don't already know.. :)

    Better than 0-0 record any Houston QB has given us.

    Not excited about this matchup. Not sure who wins, but more importantly: IDGAF. I don't particularly like either of these teams.

    If I had to guess, I'd guess that the Patriots win.

    The Patriots' defense is very underrated. NE wins in a blowout.
