Alright, it's prediction time. If you haven't picked your Super Bowl winner and score, lay it on the line.

ESPN experts / writers / analysts have a slight lean to Seattle. Both teams are beatable. Both offenses can score in a hurry. No significant injuries to speak of for either team, we'll assume Sherman's elbow will be fine and his wife won't have the baby at a time that keeps him from playing.

> IF < Seattle can't run the ball, NE gets a lean.
> IF < Gronkowski catches 5 or more, NE gets a lean.

I will guess that NE will be better on 3rd down, Sea will have more penalties, and NE will have fewer turnovers.

My prediction: NE 23 Sea 16.

Does anyone remember the expert predictions on the SB last year? I don't.

I predict the Seahawks will blow out the Patriots just like they did the Broncos last year. Their game against the Packers was the toughest 55 minutes of football I have ever suffered through. After Russell Wilson and Jermaine Kearse's 4th interception, I knew I was going to have to root for the Packers in the Super Bowl, and then the miracle happened. The fake field for a touchdown was the third NFL throw by punter John Ryan and the first NFL reception by tackle Garry Gilliam, the play was added on Thursday and they'd only practiced it 6 or 7 times. In 4 years with the Seahawks Steven Hauschka had never attempted an onside kick, he doesn't even practice them. He says "the unnatural, hip-opening motion required to swing down on the ball is tough on a specialists leg" so he preserves his by running up to the ball and visualizing a successful onside kick. Chris Matthews, the player who caught the onside kick, last year at this time was selling shoes at Foot Locker in Long Beach California. Of the Seahawks 53 man roster, 22 were undrafted free agents, Russell Wilson was taken in the third round, Richard Sherman in the fifth, Russell Wilson was paid $662,000 in 2014 and is slated to receive $799,000 in 2015, the greatest bargain in professional sports.
Go Hawks!

I remember about 10 years ago, I bought my first HDTV from HHGregg on Sunday noon, and bought it home so I can just watch Super Bowl on HDTV. That was my one of Great day, however I don't remember who play but I do remember watching the Super Bowl on HDTV. :):):D Now what can I add tomorrow before Super Bowl? Humm;)

My wife is not the optimist I am. She says 21-17 Seahawks, I remember all the hype about Payton Manning and the Denver Broncos last year, and I'm hearing it all over again this year with Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. Russell Wilson is 10-0 against Super Bowl winning quarterbacks. The first quarterback in NFL history to go to 2 Super Bowls in his first 3 years. Damn near made it his first year. 3 years ago, he was playing second base for the Tri City Dust Devils, our local farm team for the Colorado Rockies here in Eastern Washington State. I predict a Re-Pete, as in Pete Carroll. Richard Sherman, Marshawn Lynch and the Legion of Boom, not to mention the 12th man. Seahawks back to back. Re-Pete!
