New England has absolutely no one at all who can challenge the Seahawks outside. Edelman, Amendola, LaFell are all #2 WRs who cannot stretch the field. The Seahawks had zero issue locking up Cobb and Nelson, they'll easily shut down the Pats receivers. And since they are so little issue, they'll be able to double team Gronk with a linebacker and a safety. New England will need a huge running day to get some traction offensively.

Then Seattle presents a horrible matchup for New England on the other side too. New England can be gashed by teams committed to the run. I'll be surprised if Wilson makes more than 20 throws, and I expect the Seahawks to have at least 200 yards rushing. Not sure what the record for fewest passing yards in a Super Bowl is but wouldn't be surprised at all if Seattle takes a run at it.

End of the day this is almost the same matchup as last year, but Denver had better weapons and New England is better coached. Doesn't change how dominant the Seahawks defense is. Seattle 27 New England 10.
