This Super Bowl will come down to one thing, and one thing only. The championship will be decided on the health of the Legion of Boom. Seattle's star studded secondary is not healthy. Safety Earl Thomas has a bad shoulder. Corner Richard Sherman has a bad arm. Strong Safety Kam Chancellor has a minor knee injury. If these guys are not up to par it could be a long day.
Look for Tom Brady to attack the Seahawks with an up tempo offense today to keep them off balance. The Patriots will also try to use the power of RB LeGarrett Blount and TE Rob Gronkowski to test the tackling ability of Seattle secondary. The Patriots will also not be as conservative as Green Bay was in the NFC title game. If they have a chance to score touchdowns from inside the 5 yard line on 4th down they will go for it.
Of course for Seattle they will have to be in BeastMode with the running game. Baltimore had alot of success against the Patriots on the ground in the AFC divisional playoff matchup.
Bottom line, if the Seattle secondary can stay healthy and effective they will win. If one or more of them has to leave the game with injury, Brady will exploit the backups and walk off with title number 4.
