picks NE to win by 14-17. Thinks it won't be close.

He also picked the Broncos last year.
We already saw what happens when that occurs in the NFC title game ...
When was the last time #3 lost a game by more than 1 score?
Seattle tried as hard as it could to lose to the 2nd/3rd best team in the NFL and couldn't do it.
The Seahawks continue to be disrespected, which totally plays into the players' hands. They just use it as motivation. If the Seahawks lose, it won't be because they were unprepared and unfocused.
Enough said about that.
Before the NFC game the pundits said Seattle had played no QBs during their stretch run which was true. Then they shut down Rodgers for the second time this year. Even with 5 turnovers.
Brady is great and NE is really good but it won't be a blow out.
The NE defense is for real and Seattle isn't exactly a juggernaut on offense. Should be a tough game
The GB game did not need anything extra ordinary (like the onside kick) even with the -2 difference.
Winning games when you lose turnovers -3 is really difficult, and the Seahawks did it. The Seahawks tried to give that game to the Packers, and the Packers were not good enough to take it.

Dan Graziano's "assessment" is FS.
Dan Graziano, ESPN New York Giants reporter
Patriots 26, Seahawks 17 -- Last year's Seahawks weren't beatable, but the NFC Championship Game showed that this year's clearly are, and the Patriots' the-world's-out-to-get-us week is just what Belichick needed to get the better team in the right frame of mind.
Really? The Seahawks weren't beatable last year? Now they are beatable, because they shot themselves in the foot in the NFCCG with stupid turnovers and still managed to win? The Seahawks won, idiot. If they were beatable, they would have lost the NFCCG.
Assholes like him didn't even watch the game. They just looked at the box score and called it a day.
The streak goes through Russell's entire career, so he's never lost by more than 3 fgs. If that doesn't scream "winner" I don't know what does.
But to the point of thread, highly unlikely they lose by a double digit margin.
But yeah, no fucking way Seattle loses by 17.
