Super Bowl XLIX Preview

NFL Preview

Super Bowl XLIX: New England Patriots vs. Seattle Seahawks 

Prediction: New England Patriots 28 Seattle Seahawks 21

          This game is going to be very close and I think running the ball will be a main factor. I think that the Patriots are going to win this game because they are going to be able to run the football with Running Back LeGarrette Blount effectively against the Seahawks front 7. The Patriots are going to try to be balance on offense by getting Tight End Rob Gronkowski involved as well. I think he's going to be the X factor in this matchup and he is definitely going to be a challenge for the legion of boom. I think Patriots Wide Receivers Julian Edelman, Danny Amendola, and Brandon LaFell are going to need to win their individual battles off the ball in order for the whole offense to be in sink. Also, they are going to need to get separation and create good throwing angles for Quarterback Tom Brady. In order for Tom Brady to acquire his 4th championship, he's going to have to have a great game because he's going up against a tough Seattle Seahawks' defense. The player to watch out for on the Seahawks' defense is Cornerback Richard Sherman, he has great size and ball skills. Also, he can make a game changing play if you give him the chance. For the Patriots defense they are going to need to contain Running Back Marshawn Lynch and Quarterback Russell Wilson. Patriots Defensive Lineman Vince Wilfork is definitely going to be needed in this particular matchup. Also, Patriots Cornerbacks Darrelle Revis and Brandon Browner are going to be needed to stop the passing game. They will have to contain Seahawks Wide Receivers Doug Baldwin and Jermaine Kearse. The Patriots defense as a whole is going to need to contain Quarterback Russell Wilson in the pocket. They need to play disciplinary football and stay in their right gaps in order to be successful.
