Name one reason why you think the Pats will win

Better Special Teams

If this does indeed turn out to be a relatively low-scoring game, then a big play or two on special teams can make a huge difference. Better ST will also result in better field position on both sides of the ball. That can be the difference between being able to kick a field goal or two, as well as forcing Seattle to punt rather than kick a FG. Those hidden points can/will be the difference in a close game.

Browner and his knowledge of Seattle's defense and tendencies and the swagger he has brought to our D. We will succeed where so many others have failed!

Don't forget the GONK!

Brady & the offense.

This will be the best QB the Seahawks have faced away from home since Philip Rivers in September. You could make an argument that the Patriots offense will be the best they've faced since Dallas in mid-October. I know they beat Aaron Rodgers in the NFCCG, but Rodgers couldn't run and it still took a miracle for Seattle to win.

Seattle's defense is very, very good, but it looks even better going against a struggling Kaepernick and back up QBs (Cardinals, Rams, and Eagles.)

I had a Dream....


But seriously I did. I woke up in the dream, and I had slept through most of the game. The Pats were in the red zone, maybe on the 7 or so, and Brady threw an incomplete pass. I was like "crap I don't know how much time is left but that can't be good," then looked at the score. It was 51-10 Pats.

Truth is you can give "reasons" til the cows come home. It'll all happen on the field. I'll go with my no-quit team theory: This team is markedly different from recent Pats SB vintages for their resilience and mental toughness.

Also I so want Brady to say to Richard Sherman after the game "You mad, bro?"

First thought to mind:

Russel Wilson sucks

That's right! Bill Belichick. That is one position where the advantage is too great to ignore.

There are many reasons, but here are a few.
Hawks are not at home.

Brady torched them 2 years ago. Yes their defense wasn't as good, but they were still strong and had the same vanilla scheme. Seattle won because of a few bad Brady picks, and our special teams and defense sucked in the 4th quarter.

The red zone. We will score Touchdowns and the Hawks will score Field goals.

Our defense will play their best game of the year, because they are not getting the respect they deserve and will play with a huge chip.

Pats 31-13.

Because Russell Wilson cries like a little girl

They kind of are. Reporter from AZ this morning on some network or another said you saw 10 'Hawks jerseys for every Pats jersey... I'm thinking it will feel like an away game not a neutral site.

3+ future HOFers plus the greatest coach of all time.

Two words:

1. Seattle is the classic "we do what we do" team. Belichick destroys teams like that. Belichick owned Dungys colts and cohwers Steelers because they stuck to their Bread and butter defensively. Belichick and tom are too good to not have a handful of wrinkles prepared for.

2. Brady destroys zone defense. In 2012 Brady lit the hawks D up. Imo that had more to do with bradys ability to exploit zone defenses.

3. Belichick will take away your comfort zone. I think belichik has identified lynch as the man to take away from this game altogether. Russell wilson consequently will have to Play as perfect a game as aaron rodgers had to in order to beat us late in the season. Russell wont be able to pull through with his aaron rodgers impersonation.

Gronk, Blount and Revis

Edelman will have a big day

because i cant imagine brady losing 3 straight superbowls lol seriously....who would of thought of such a thing 10 years ago. it's like the reverse john elway. except brady won early/lost late...

because i won't be watching it at my home. when i did that we lost 2 SBs.

No Wes Welker to jinx team (0-3)

Really though, emotion. Team always plays with fire when adversity comes down. 07 SD week 2, Cincy earlier this season come to mind.

No Logan Mankins either, so hopefully no sacks or tackle for loss at a key point in the game!

- I think our OL is better than their DL
- I think our DL is better than their OL
- I think our Secondary is better than their WRs/TEs
- I think our WRs/TEs are a bad matchup for their Secondary

34-10, Go Pats!

I am the opposite, watched the 3 W's at home and I watched the last 2 L's out in a Bar.
I will give one guess where I am watching this year's SB from.
