My pick for this game: Patriots 22, Seahawks 21.
As gametime approaches, my heart says the Seahawks find a way, but my gut is wondering if I shouldn't pick the Patriots by a wider margin.
Here's why:
Seahawks star cornerback Richard Sherman is catching punts one-handed in warmups, obviously trying not to aggravate his elbow injury.
Seahawks star safety Earl Thomas is wearing a harness under his jersey to protect his injured shoulder.
Kam Chancellor, the other safety, suffered what is believed to be a mild injury in practice and is wearing a knee brace and limping just a bit.
There's little doubt all three will start. But will all three finish?
The Patriots are sharks. If they see an injured player, or a replacement on the field, they will attack that player.
