Seattle 27, New England 20
Simply put, Seattle is just too good. Russell Wilson is as smart as they come at the quarterback position and Marshawn Lynch refuses to be stopped. While the Seahawks don’t have one of the top wideouts in the league, Doug Baldwin and Jermaine Kearse find a way to get things done.
Defensively, there isn’t much to say that hasn’t been said.
New England does have one of the best offenses in the league, but their defense is over-hyped, no matter what anybody says. It is one of the better ones that Bill Belichick has had in recent memory, but they got torched by Baltimore, and I think Seattle will take a good look at that game plan.
Seattle’s defense comes up with a big stop somewhere along the line, and Seattle repeats as Super Bowl Champions against the last team to accomplish such a feat.
