Sunday will be the sixth Super Bowl in Tom Brady's career and the second in as many years for Russell Wilson. The Seahawks defense will be tasked with stopping Tom Brady and the Pats defense tasked with stoping Marshawn Lynch. Lynch will have to have a big game because the Hawks receivers may struggle with Darrell Revis and Brandon Browner. For the Patriots it will be interesting to see the game plan given how the Hawks are tuff against the run and the pass. I expect a mix on the ground with Shane Vereen and Legarrette Blount. For the Seahawks we will see Russell Wilson spread the ball just looking for whoever he can find.
Julian Edelman is not your typical number one receiver but he is clearly Brady's favorite of the receivers. He is similar to what Wes Welker was and Edelman may not fair all that bad. Brandon Lafell may have his work cut out for him but perhaps Edelman can find some space over the middle of the field. Of course Rob Gronkowski will need to have a big game and personally I believe he can win the MVP of the ball game because I think Brady will work him a lot. For the Seahawks they will
work Lynch all game no matter what. For Wilson his main job is to do what he has done his whole career. Not try to do anything more than the task asks for. If the game is one he needs to take over he will but if not he will let Lynch take over. The main thing for the Seahawks is avoid getting in a shoot out with Tom Brady.
The Prediction - Patriots 28 , Seahawks 24
