My heart says Seattle Seahawks but my head says New England Patriots. Who do you think will win the Super Bowl?

I took the $$ I won in the College Championships (Buckeye fans insert snarky gloat here) and doubled down on OSU to win the Superbowl. The guy I placed the bet with looked at me kind of funny, but I got great odds!
Dan, I’ve won the last five Super Bowl bets with the guy who shares my office at work. I told him to pick whatever team he wanted this year. He picked the Seahawks. The stakes are a pizza. Loser buys.
So you can’t lose! Pizza is always the best prize.
Everyone here seems to be picking New England. It all depends on whether the Seahawks can contain New England’s running game. If so, they can win. If not, it could be trouble. I’m hoping it will be a good game. I’ll go with the underdog Seattle, but I am far from certain.
No surprise we’ll be cheering for the Seahawks, I’ll be wearing my Seahawks T-shirt and cap. We’ll have to hope the team can stop Blount running and force Brady to throw into coverage, but I’m worried about Gronk. I really want Seattle to win, but I always fear a Seahawk stumble. Let’s just hope there are no injuries to either side, and that the officiating is good.
Which is ridiculous and a big waste of money, but they have to do it for the media, I guess. The air pressure in the balls would have made NO DIFFERENCE WHATEVER in the outcome of the AFC Championship game, which no one seems to notice. From what I’ve read, it was the Jets who started the whole investigation push. And we know the Jets have no love lost for New England.
Unfortunately, I woke up with a case of “stomach flu” and may be spending a large part of the game in the bathroom, which is where I’ve already spent the morning. BAH.
Rick, Diane decided we would go with turkey, dressing, green beans, yams, and gravy instead of pizza and wings. I am nibbling on some chocolate during Half-time.

I hope the Seahawks win. The Patriots have lost any fans outside New England, I think.
Patti, New England has been under a cloud since “Spy-gate.” This latest imbroglio with the deflated footballs is just the latest in a long string of dubious behavior by the Patriots.
I’m so “meh” about this game–although I’m sure I’ll watch it (or at least have the tv on). One of my daughters is marching in a Mardi Gras parade, another went with my husband to an event in Mississippi, leaving me and one other daughter, who I’m sure will be out and about as the day wears on. I plan to cook all day. Rooting for Seattle, mostly because I’d like them to wipe that smug, condescending look off Bill Bilichick’s face.
I’m always pessimistic but I’m rooting for the Seahawks, of course. My biggest worry is that they’ll keep drives alive with penalties, or kill their own drives the same way.
I have a hard and fast rule. When the gun goes off for halftime, so does my television.
Other than the Clydesdales and the puppy, no commercial stood out as special. OK, the Snickers one with the Brady Bunch stood out as really, really creepy.
Sorry, Rick. Beyond all credibility. I cannot think of any possible scenario there where a pass would be acceptable, even if by some chance it worked. If you don’t want to give it to Lynch (why??) – perhaps because obviously that was the expected play – then you fake it to him and Wilson runs it himself. I just cannot understand what they were thinking.
Jeff, the Patriots couldn’t stop Marshawn Lynch. He would have scored easily. A pass was the Wrong Call for that situation. And the Seahawks got burned for making it.
That was the stupidest bit of play calling in the history of the NFL. Half yard line. Four down territory. Great running back. So they PASS? Someone needs a good horsewhipping.

Jeff, I’m hoping for a close game, too. Last year’s 43-8 debacle was a snooze-fest.

Rick, I hear the NFL has a ton of officials protecting the footballs.

Rick, I hope you feel better soon!
Thanks, George, me too. There’s a great big pizza sitting here waiting to go into the oven!
GO SEAHAWKS !

Deb, I asked my sister in Florida who she was rooting for in the Super Bowl and she said, “Katy Perry.”

Bob, remember the Seahawks came back against the Packers when you stopped watching. If the Seahawks start losing, you know what to do!

Jeff, the Super Bowl commercials this year were less than super. I did like the KIA commercial with Pierce Brosnan.
DON’T ASK ME, I HAVE NO COMMENT
Rick, I cannot believe the Seahawks didn’t run Marshawn Lynch in for the winning touchdown!

Unbelievable.

George, I liked that one too.

Bob, you should have turned off the TV with 30 seconds left in the game and this might not have happened.
