An XL Prediction


Seattle v Pittsburgh (Ford Field, Detroit)
Well this is it, the big kahuna burger. It’s Superbowl time, and it’s time for my final prediction of the season (well maybe I’ll predict the Pro Bowl, who knows). I was going to do a big long piece about this game. About how the combination of Willie Parker and Jerome Bettis on the ground with Big Ben to Hines Ward and Randle El through the air would be too much for the Seahawks but it’s now three minutes before kick off so time is short.

I don’t know why, but I’ve had a late change of heart. Until yesterday I was all Pittsburgh but the last twenty four hours I’ve looked at Matt Hasselbeck and his no name receiver corps and Sean Alexander on the ground, and crucially I’m looking at the Seahawks D against Carolina in the NFC Championship game.

I still can’t believe it but I’m picking the Seahawks.
