7 Things You Should Know About NFL Super Bowl 49

1. What Team Will Win?

Seattle. That's the pick. The score will be 31-23 because in today's NFL the scores often are high scoring. That photo above is from last year, but it's going to be a similar sight as Seahawks coach Pete Carroll hoists the Lombardi Trophy again this year. The biggest thing we have learned from watching the NFL over the years it's that defense usually wins Championships. If you can make more stops and especially those stops late in the game then you're going to win. Look at last year's blowout win. It was that Seattle defense that dominated the impressive Broncos offense. The year before that it was a high scoring game, but it was a defensive stop by the Ravens that made the big stop. Yes it's a QB's league, but both of these teams are here because they play well on the defensive side of the ball. For the Pats to win I think they need Blount to have a big game and for Gronk to be a difference maker, but I don't think the Seahawks will let that happen. Seattle's offense should have success. The Patriots have a very good secondary, but their front seven can get pushed around. That should lead to a lot of short passes by the Seahawks, plus an impressive run game that leads them to victory. For the MVP, I'm going with Wilson. I think he'll have 225 pass yards with two pass TDs and 65 rush yards along with a rush TD. It could be Lynch too, but I think he'll get 95 yards with one TD, which is good, but not going to be enough to win MVP. It should be a great game whether you're a diehard NFL fan or a casual viewer that only watches a couple of times per year. Good luck to both teams. Enjoy the game!
