2. LeGarrette Blount will have under 20 rushing yards

I do not think Blount will have any success running the football in the Super Bowl. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if his day would be similar to last years AFC championship game, in which he ran for 6 total yards. I think Vereen will be on the field more, because the Patriots are going to put the game into Brady’s hands. Blount looked terrific against Indy, but he looked terrific against Indy last year and then laid an egg. The Patriots offensive line will struggle to keep defenders from getting to him early and he will be brought down quickly.

3. Luke Willson will lead the Seahawks in receptions

The Patriots often have a tough time defending against tight ends, and the Seahawks must attempt to exploit that, because they are simply overmatched on the outsides. I think the Seahawks will run a lot of bootlegs and will look for the Wilson to Willson combination. In the effort of keeping Russell Wilson contained, they will give Luke Willson room to get open and make some plays. Willson could be the surprise offensive star of the game, especially since he hasn’t had more than four catches in a game all season.
