The Indianapolis Colts had no business being in that game, but a soft playoff schedule allowed them to cruise through to New England.<\/p>\n [dfads params=’groups=63753&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n Now the Patriots take a step up in class to take on the Seahawks, who needed a lot of luck to get by the Green Bay Packers.<\/p>\n The script is playing out very similarly to what we saw from the Seahawks a year ago. They went into the Big Game coming off a tight win over the San Francisco 49ers, causing bettors to side with the Denver Broncos, and we all know how that one went down.<\/p>\n The Patriots’ undersized wide receivers are going to have plenty of trouble creating space against the Seahawks’ physical cornerbacks.<\/p>\n That, combined with the Seahawks’ ability to get to the quarterback with their front-four will lead to a long day for Tom Brady.<\/p>\n As for the Seahawks’ offense, they took a lot of heat for their play against the Packers, but that unit has been able to move the football when needed, starting with running back Marshawn Lynch, who is averaging 5.7 yards per carry with five touchdowns in his last five games.<\/p>\n [dfads params=’groups=66501&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n While the Seattle defense gets all the press, the New England defense has been terrific in its own right. The Patriots are strong up front, have an underrated linebacking corps, and have one of the best secondaries in football.<\/p>\n The extra time to prepare will also mean head coach Bill Belichick will have additional time to put together a scheme that will frustrate the Seahawks\u2019 offense.<\/p>\n The Seahawks struggled to move the ball against the Packers, and while they’re better offensively than they looked last week, they’re not going to put a ton of points up here.<\/p>\n As for the Patriots, going up against a physical Seahawks defense has to be a concern.<\/p>\n [dfads params=’groups=63752&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n Their undersized receivers are going to have difficulty getting off the line, let alone getting open, and unlike the AFC title game against the Colts, leaning on the run won’t be an option against Seattle’s solid defensive front.<\/p>\n\n
