i think the patriots are going to blow out the seahawks the way the seahawks blew out the broncos last year.
I never never ever like seeing the Pats win. My 2nd favorite team is whomever is playing the Pats. I can only hope now that the Seahawks defense pounds Brady into a bloody pulp.
The Pats could win, but that is not going to happen. Wilson isn't like Luck. He's not a guy who does a lot of reads - except on the run option. Wilson basically, does play action and then looks for an open guy. He relies on his pocket movement a lot as well - after the play breaks down. It will be interesting but Seattle is pretty basic and will just get after you whatever you are doing.
wonder what the spread will be. i'll say new england -3 1/2. if they were playing anyone else seattle would be favored by 6 or so
If you give Brady pressure he folds easy, especially if you keep the score close like the Giants did.
Theres a big difference in talent level between Colts and Seahawks. NE is in trouble. All the Colts have is Luck, Vontae and Hilton. Seahawks feature a lot more then that. Plus, NE is 0/2 in SB's since being caught with the camera.
vegas usually tips you off who will win by how they make the spread. i would say that if new england is favored by 3 1/2 or more they win. if seattle is favored by 3 1/2 or more they will win. if the spread is in between then vegas isnt tipping their hand or they arent sure. this is a game where most money should come in on the dog regardless of who it is. thaqts why if you see a favorite over 3.5 they would be tipping their hand
I don't see a blow out, either way. Hawks should give the Patsies a game. Hoping of course they win, the Hawks that is. Although, I would've much rather seen GB advance personally.
The Colts were overrated this season and this game just proved it... FWIW, we got manhandled by the Patriots at the end of the season, but not by as much as the Colts are right now.
Agreed. I will be rooting hard for Seattle and I think they will win. NE is good at disrupting pocket passers and conventional offenses. They're not nearly as good at defensing a guy like Wilson who improvises by design or the physical run game that they will face. Also, Seattle on D is well equipped to deal w NEs offense. They can stuff the run and still play good pass D behind it, it's going to be a good game but I like Seattle.
if the spread is seattle -3 then its a toss up. seattle has a chance. they might even be the play. time to start talking to people and see who they like. if there is a consensus go the other way
Freakin Patriots, all the other 3 teams in the division get rid of coaches and still can't catch up to them, Stable team for sure, sick of it
I think the Seahawks will win, but not if the same Russell Wilson that showed today shows up in February.
HUH?! They just got to the AFC championship game and back to back playoff seasons. They ARE closer than us....that's a fact. Not by an astronomical distance than us but CLEARLY.....CLEARLY closer. Today's game does not erase their body of work this year....anymore than it erases ours. We are close to being a playoff team, they already have playoff WINS!
I'd argue that Indy is closer, but not by much. They are benefitted by a weak division, and this season in particular, an overall much weaker schedule than we had. They've still got their work cut out for them, as we do.
I would think the gap might be by more than you stated...but you would agree Indy is closer. I like our team. I think they are where we are trying to be..it is not out of our reach to get there. But we are not even contending for a Super Bowl...they already are doing it.
But, they still made it to AFCCG, if they won the division and lost the first game in playoffs you would of had a point, but they made it to AFCCG which kind of tosses that argument out the window. Dolphins are close, im hoping we knock the proverbial monkey off our back and get a playoff win next year, lord knows us phin fans would love it.
I will try to enjoy the moment. lol. I disagree with you, in that I think the difference is more than Luck vs Tannehill. I think they have an overall better team...not just at QB. Nice to see we can agree and disagree and not lose our heads.
