Moriartea_time Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 I myself am waiting for my favorite YouTube chef to do his chicken wing bone predictions. (Any other Food Wishes fans?) But, since I'm from Washington, I gotta go with the Hawks. 1 Quote Link to comment
TheOtherScott Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Seahawks repeat. I doubt it'll be as big of a blowout as it was last year, but the Seahawks just pulled off a miracle thanks to some of the ballsiest plays in NFL history and an overconfident opponent. The Patriots beat Andrew Luck and the helmet catchers. Quote PR's5k - 21:2910k - 47:26 43:2921.1 - 2:05:26 1:44:21 Link to comment
humanperson832 Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 I predict that the Superbowl will steal my birthday thunder, as it does every single year. I'm going to think of it as the NFL's really big way of celebrating my birth. That said, Hawks. 1 Quote Link to comment

IslandGirl_Becks Posted January 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 I am morally obligated to despise all things Boston [except the Bruins], but I don't see Wilson & Co getting around that lying cheating cranky old man & his pretty-boy minion After Game 7 in 2011, I can't root for the Bruins either (go Canucks!!). I'm west coast born and raised, and really think the Hawks are going to have their hands full with New England. tTey're every bit as likely to pull trick plays as the Seahawks, have all the experience of past superbowls, and are unlikely to go for field goals instead of touchdowns when the Seahawks make mistakes.

Br0din Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 I think the pats out smart the seachickens. Pats can run the ball and chickens aren't as good at stopping it as they were last year.Sherman is good at stopping big/tall and fast receivers that run deep routes (like Nelson) and can be beat badly by a quick receiver. Pats do this better than anyone. Pats WR = chickens DBs (for match ups.) Pats DBs >>>>>>>> Chickens WRs. Expect 8 in the box to stop Lynch with a spy on St Russell.Wild cards will the chickens safety play. Thomas is the best FS in the game and Chancellor is really really good. How are they neutralized?Same problem that Lynch gives to Defense is the same problem Blount gives to defenses. Is the treat of Blount enough to force Chancellor into the box and keeps him from taking Edleman's head off (a'la Welker last years SB.)Gronk has a big game? Is he the one who takes Chancellor out of the zone? Quote May Br0din bless you with mighty gains, and may your shaker bottle always be full. Wheymen ...and, if you die...
