Who are you plumping for?

Pats seem to have the better O and slightly better D and it took the 'hawks time to wake up against GB (who by all accounts, threw the game away).

Had the 'Boys not thrown the game against GB, i could have seen them beating the 'Hawks but never mind.

Ill go with a Pats win by 2 td lead, Hawks to get a special teams/defence td

I've said all along...Defense wins championships...so I'll be going with Seattle.

I really enjoy the sport yet don't really support any one "team" if that makes sense.

I was really hoping for a Packers-Patriots superbowl as I don't like teams that win a lot unless I support them but, all my teams are rubbish so no worries there.

Consequently, I don't have a preference for who wins the game but Seattle just always seem to find a way so I guess my money will go on them but, I think it will be VERY close.

What language is this? Looking back at the 'gular season, did you think the 'kings would be equal to 'roit? I was dismayed that 'burg and 'land showed early promise versus the 'gals, but we pasted the 'vens early in the season. I was quite surprised that we beat the 'cos in the run up to the playoffs (PO's, I mean), but disappointingly 'polis gave us a right good kicking in week 1 of the po'seas.

As long as the Seahawks don't win, I'm happy with any scoreline.

As a Giants fan I dislike both teams, but i would rather see Pats win over the Seahawks.

Regular season doesnt mean much post season though.

If your unable to abbreviate or understand how many people shorten a teams name then thats not my problem, and Detroit would the the Lions anyway. Some teams can and some teams cant. Though i see you have no issue with New England Patriots being shortened to the 'Pats. I have also heard the Vikings been referred to as the Vikes on tv

But thank you for you contribution to this thread, and so glad you let us know your thoughts on who will win the 'bowl

Better than what? Seattle? Or better than they've had for a while?

Ravens fan here, so guess (not that I'm particularly bothered) Hawks for me.

Might stay up and watch it, but not overly bothered one way or the other.

Honestly I have no clue what you're talking about.

If you think the Pats have a better defense than Seattle then you're beyond help...if you think the Pats might do well because their defense is better than it has been in a long time, then I agree with that.

Just don't think it'll be enough to stop the run game of Seattle.

Let me get this straight...The Partiots have a better D than the Seahawks? That's what you're saying isn't it?

Yes, going by the stats on the NFL.com and post season.

The Cowboys where 8-0 on the road in regular season but still lost at Green Bay.

TBH i care not who wins as i support the Cowboys

Can you link to some actual stats as that's one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard.

its not hard to look on nfl.com but as you cant seem to be bothered, here it is;
[ur]http://www.nfl.com/stats/team[/url]

though its pretty close with Pats being 5th and the Hawks being 6th

Pats have a better O, though Hawks and a better running game

Umm, I think you might want to look at more than a 2 game sample.
