Tails never fails.

Over 2.5 Players to attempt a Pass

Josh McDaniels loves a good trick play pass. He's called many in his time over multiple playoff runs, and there's no reason to think he won't have one ready for today. Seattle has also called some trick plays with Klint Kubiak at the helm, and in the Super Bowl you need to pull out all the stops. I think we see a trick play pass from either a receiver or back in this Super Bowl, and the good news is both teams are more than capable of pulling it off.

Drake Maye OVER 34.5 Rushing Yards

For Drake Maye to lead the Patriots to victory he needs to use his legs. He needs to force the Seahawks to only play zone to allow for the New England receivers to have a chance to separate. Seattle has played a lot of man coverage against the 49ers and Rams so far in the post season but they have also not played a mobile quarterback who can reliably punish turning your back to him. Maye needs to do this to keep the chains moving, and to wear out a great defense.

Ernest Jones OVER 8.5 Tackles

The Seahawks defensive engine is Ernest Jones. He is a hammer in the run game and is a great rat in the middle for zone coverage. He had 126 tackles over 15 games in the regular season, which averages out to 8.4. In the Super Bowl, against a team that carries the rock 30+ a game reliably, he'll have plenty of opportunity to get to 9 tackles.

My favorite team is the New England Patriots, that is no secret. The Seattle Seahawks are a great team. I even put a future on them to win the Super Bowl back in late September. I cashed out of that as soon as the game was set because I do not emotionally hedge.

What I think wins the Patriots this game is their interior defensive line and their coaching staff. Firstly, the interior defensive line is monstrous. Christian Barmore and Milton Williams have been wrecking games reliably by stuffing the run and disrupting passers. The Seattle Seahawks offensive line is good, but it's not as good as Denver's who got absolutely mauled by the two exceptional DTs. I think the Seahawks have trouble moving their is no special teams gap to take advantage of for the Seahawks as well so they won't be spotted a touchdown like how they've been this playoff run.

Secondly, I think that Mike Vrabel, and especially Josh McDaniels, are no strangers to this moment. As much as I think Seattle has a great, dynamic, young coaching staff but I think the youth shows. Mike MacDonald and Klint Kubiak don't know what they don't know, and the extended breaks and scale of the game wears on coaches as much as players, and their is significantly more experience on one bench than the other.

All in all, I think the Patriots win, and the empire starts anew.
