The best way I've heard it explained is the Ravens line is heavy on cut blocks and they get to the second level fast as a result of skill and scheme. Opening up lanes and cut back opportunites.

The best run blocker on the Seahawks line is Max Unger(center). They are very ordinary as far as skill and while they are a zone based blocking team they don't cut nearly as much. Our LB's aren't bad against zone generally, due to the fact that BB likes his LB to approach immdiately and fill holes @ the LOS, so if you aren't an excellent line @ getting to the second level like Baltimore than you will have trouble navigating because we create lots of trash @ the point of attack.

The x-factor is Lynch himself. He makes them look a lot better than they are, where as Forsett is probably the opposite. Lynch breaks tackles everywhere, in the hole, behind the LOS, down the field, etc.

Someone give me a good reason why the patriots will be able to stop Lynch when they let Forsett gash them just a few weeks ago.

Because vs Baltimore they keyed in on stopping the pass. Vs Seattle they should key in on stopping the run.

I think it will be less than 10.

I think it'll be a close game, but damn, how much fun would it be for the Pats to win by at least 3 possessions?

If I didn't have a wife I would have had to explain myself to I would have taken out a personal loan for as much as I could to bet on this team. That's how confident I am.

Not to be a bummer but I had a nightmare last night that Seattle won. But don't worry- I have **** luck and can't predict ****all.

We need to really test Thomas, Sherman and Kam EARLY. Let's see how they feelin'

Mad respect for you guys, you are all very wise. I too agree that we will win convincingly. We will run away with it in the 3rd quarter after Gronk runs over Sherman and Chancellor. He will later be named MVP with 2 td's and 100 yards and lots of broken tackles. We will win by 2 touchdowns

Love the media sleeping on Lafell, he'll show you just how good he is

It's highly unlikely it'll never happen but, for the past couple of weeks, I keep thinking that 58-3 would be a good score for New England to beat Seattle with.

Sounds good to me.

I'd feel better about your prediction if you were the same user who predicted 16-0 lol

Seattle will have trouble scoring. It will come down to how well Seattle's D could hold the Pats offense. Seattle is a bit beat up, but the Pats haven't exactly been world beaters on offense in recent Superbowls. They gotta come out stronger than they normally do.

You guys are veering pretty hard into jinx territory

You guys need to tap the breaks a bit. These teams are very even. Having said that I hope to hell you're right.

I know I said I want to see a blowout win for the Patriots but I hope none of us jinx it despite saying what we hope happens. Just sayin'.

This is why.... http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/L/LyncMa00/gamelog/?opp_id=nwe

I'm thinking that at the end of this game we'll be saying that the Ravens were the Pats' toughest challenge for the Super Bowl. I think the Ravens would beat the Seahawks. Hope I am correct.
