This is a classic overreaction to what each team did in their last game. Seattle had to come from behind in a miracle win, while New England pulled away on the Colts. Seattle is the better team and should be -3.

While I do not think that the Pats will be distracted by deflategate, I do believe there is fire beyond the smoke. The Pats have always bent the rules and gotten an edge from it. Completely under the microscope, that edge they always had has been taken away.

Seattle 5.2 yards per rushing attempt to teams normally allowing 4.3 and 7.3 yards per pass to 6.8. Russell Wilson best QB in NFL but is not rated as others as such because the Hawks play a ball control game.

Wilson is a ridiculous 10-0 in his career against quarterbacks who have previously won Super Bowl. Though he struggled most of the game, in the final four minutes he was 6-of-7 19.1 yards per pass. He rose to the occasion.
