New England Patriots/Seattle Seahawks: controversy surrounds this year's Super Bowl as the Patriots find themselves embroiled in scandal. Did they deflate the footballs they used to defeat the Colts in the AFC Championship Game, and even if they did, does it matter?, Andrew Luck still only completed 12 passes for 126 yards, and it seems probable that New England would have scored at least 10 even if they had been using regulation footballs. If they're found guilty there should be an enormous fine, but either way, that game's over, and Seattle didn't have to cheat to win. Not that the Patriots cheated to win. Green Bay should have defeated the Seahawks but Russell Wilson pulled a Tim Tebow to ensure victory for his team. His defence helped out a bit. Seattle turned the ball over 5 times and Green Bay could only score 22 points, and even if Wilson has another bad game, I doubt New England will be given so many extra opportunities to score. Green Bay's offence scored more points than New England's during the regular season and still were stymied versus the Seahawks. But could Brady lose the Super Bowl 3 times after winning it 3 times? This seems unlikely. I should pick the defensive team. I usually don't and am often wrong. It seemed that New England was poised to defeat the Giants both times they played them in the Super Bowl, and this year it seems that Seattle is poised to defeat the Patriots. Perhaps Seattle destroys them. I'm still picking New England.
