Super Bowl XLIX Predictions

[Papageorgio]

The team that scores the most points in regulation or overtime will "win".

I hope it's New England doing it in a way that obviously cheating and highly controversial which will lead to great turmoil and possible destruction of the entire NFL. I hope the lights go out in the middle of a scoring play. I hope the retractable field starts moving during the game. I hope Brady is seen deflating balls on the sideline. I hope players are seen taking steroids on the sideline. I hope the spread isn't covered so Vegas takes a bath.

One thing is certain so no "hoping" is needed: Cities will burn! Drunken and Ignorant Sports Zombies will celebrate "their" teams' win by doing what any mindless person would do: Burn it all down!

All the Stupor Bowl 4.6 million dollar commercials can be seen here by the way:

Cool the commercials, that's the main reason to watch. Thanks!

Solid yes above avg yes.......great ???? No............... 81 yds per game ...doesnt sound so unstoppable once the stats are looked at instead of the hype.

Well

Pay attention - the line is usually right on - as I've seen over the past 35 years

Yeah they were right on the nose last year too huh?

Wondering if you saw the yahoo article game analysis, one where computer ran the game 50,000 times, curious you narrowed your spread right after that......

Nope...haven't seen it. Got a link?

Interesting. Pretty similar analysis

Well their spread is closer....... lot closer than your original......Wonder what Madden 2014 says?

I read somewhere that Madden picked New England, but it picked Denver last year too. The porcupine picks Seattle so there you go.

It really is fun to see Seattle fans try to convince themselves that it wasn't luck that the Hawks are in the SB.
It's also fun to see them try to convince themselves that Belicheck and Brady aren't the greatest coach and QB in the game.

Under-estimating the opposition makes it that much harder to eat crow.

Wow..these comment sound just like Denver fans did last year before the Super Bowl...the greatest quarterback to ever play the game with a NFL record 55 touchdown passes and a NFL record 5400+ passing yardage and you know what Manning did in the Super Bowl don't you? I think a lot of Denver fans were eating crow if that was the bird of choice.

Wait.... I think Green Bay fans were say their head coach and quarterback were the greatest....I bet that is kind of up setting to New England fans.

But lets settle down a little bit, okay? No where has anyone I have ever seen claimed Wilson or Carroll was anywhere near the 'greatest'.

Now for a reality check...Seattle beat several very good teams with very good defenses in winning the last 11 out of 12 games be it luck or what ever while New England was losing to a not so great team in the Buffalo Bills.

The fact is Wilson and Seattle is 10-0 against the better quarterbacks in the NFL today, including Brady.

You should really stop making the comment about the Bills if you want to be taken seriously. That game was after the Pats had already locked up the #1 seed and it was basically their JV squad going up against what was actually a very solid Buffalo defense. It was no surprise that they lost.

As far as Wilson's record against top QBs, it's honestly very impressive. However, keep in mind the following:

1. Over the course of his career, there is not a single team in the NFL that Brady has a losing record to.

2. Brady holds the NFL records for most playoff wins, touchdown passes, and yards passing.

3. Brady's 20 career playoff wins are more than 21 current NFL FRANCHISES.

Agreed, Brady was a great quarterback - one of the best, maybe the best ever but-----but the thing about history is...it's history.

You know that Brady hit the milestones in #2 and 3 this postseason, right? Pretty recent history.

The way, the NFL including and especially, the Patriots and the Seahawks burn through hopefuls while building each season's roster really excludes the importance of histories going back more than two years.

Belichick and Carroll are masters at finding diamonds in the rough that are conveniently dirt cheap allowing the team's abilities to hang on to a core of veteran star players.

SOOOooo..... all this talk of events that occurred several or more seasons ago has no bearing on Sunday's match up. I dare say that with the exception of Brady's memory the game three seasons ago, which Seattle won, will have little to do with the Super Bowl analysis. Probably the strongest factor coming out of that game will be that it was Wilson's 3-4 th game in the NFL.. Nobody with half a brain would suggest that Russell has gone backwards since then. It might be fair to wonder if Brady has lost a step and a bit of throwing speed in three years.

Wilson has probably another 4-5 years ahead of him before his physical skills start to diminish. Brady is at the point where most athletes/people have already felt the wear and tear and have had numerous repairs. I'm not suggesting that Tom is way over the hill...but the crest of the hill is behind him.

When Brady has his mind set on the end zone, he is like a machine. That is still the case.

CNBC said if you can find a ticket it will cost you 8200 dollars. 8200 dollars. The most expensive ticket by far for any sporting event in history. I wonder how much I could rent my sky box for?

What many are leaving out of the equation this year is that Belichick is a defensive genius unlike John Fox. Bill Parcells never won a SuperBowl without Belichick by his side. I trust in Belichick (yes, I did say trust) to devise a defensive game plan to checkmate the Hawks. I'm banking on a lack of depth in Seattles offense to beat a Belichick defense.

They key is to stop the run and make Wilson pass. How many interceptions did Wilson throw against GB?

Easy to say tough to do. Stopping the run, contain Wilson in the pocket. Wilson had 11 fumbles this year, most of them in the pocket.

Seattle is going to have to stop Gronk and the pass, Seattle needs to control the line and pressure Brady, Brady like most QBs make mistakes when rushed. Seattle has the corners to make teams pay for their mistakes.

I don't see either team changing their offense to much, it has worked so why change it up.

poor example since three of them were not his fault.the rain was a big factor causing the ball to bounce of kearses hands.your forgetting that rogers had trouble throwing the football as well throwing two interceptions since it affected him as well.

NE's run defense is not that good either,they may stop him in the first half but by the second,they will wear down as beastmode always wears down defenses that are stronger than the pats.

Kearse and Baldwin are mediocre at best.
