The biggest news in sports this week is that the Super Bowl is this Sunday. As a recap, the New England Patriots will play the Seattle Seahawks, for the Lombardy Trophy.

Before I get into my pick for the Super Bowl, let’s get into some stats for both teams. The Patriots are the away team, and are 5-3 in road games this season. Seattle is the home team, and they are 7-1 at home this season, granted the full strength of the 12th man won’t be in Arizona on Sunday.

Here are some other offensive stats. Both teams this year are 12-4. The Patriots are averaging 366 yards per game, and the Seahawks are averaging 376 yards per game. The Patriots are averaging 258 yards per game, and the Seahawks are averaging 203 yards per game. The Patriots are also averaging 108 yards rushing per game, and the Seahawks are averaging 178 yards per game.

Let’s move to some defensive stats. The Patriots are allowing 344 yards per game, and the Seahawks are allowing 267 yards per game. The Patriots are also allowing 240 passing yards per game, and Seahawks are allowing 240 yards per game. The last stat we’ll go over is rush yards allowed. The Patriots are allowing 104 yards rushing per game, and the Seahawks are allowing 82 rushing yards per game.

Ok, now it is time for my pick for the Super Bowl. I think this game is going to come down to if the Seattle Seahawks can run the ball and, get Marshawn Lynch going. If they can do this, then they will win the game. My pick for Super Bowl 49, is the Seattle Seahawks 24-21. I just can’t pick against the running game and the defense for the Seahawks.
