The Road To The Super Bowl

WHO WILL IT BE?

USPA NEWS - There are 4 teams left to battle it out and see who has what it takes to make it to the next step in playing in Super Bowl XLIX. Seattle Seahawks, New England Patriots, Green Bay Packers, Indianapolis Colts, all have made it this far and have a chance to advance to the next level. SO WHO WILL IT BE?
Packers at Seahawks:

The Seahawks and Packers will battle for the NFC Championship, while in the AFC, superstar quarterback Tom Brady leads the New England Patriots against the Indianapolis Colts, whose quarterback Andrew Luck is trying to beat the New England Patriots after not being able to do so since coming into the league.

In Seattle, the Packers will be up against a streaking Seahawks team who has won seven straight games. The Green Bay Packers and Seattle Seahawks aren´t the same teams that met back in early September both team have improved and are playing their best football at the right time. Can the Packers handle Russell Wilson, who´s playing the best football of his career?
Green Bay has always had trouble against mobile passers, and Wilson might be the best of them. Green Bay was one of the few teams that contained Wilson in the pocket and didn´t allow him to improvise. Doing so again will be very difficult.

There´s also a guy named Marshawn Lynch and safety Kam Chancellor that needs slowing down. Points are usually at a premium in Seattle, but this one could be a shootout.

If you´re tired hearing about Rodgers´ injured calf, I´ve got bad news for you: It´s going to be an even bigger factor against Seattle. Standing back in the pocket just isn´t an option against the Seahawks pass rush. In the first matchup between these teams, Rodgers pocket movement was stellar and provided his receivers with extra time to separate from Seattle´s defensive backs. His lack of mobility will hurt against a ravenous Seattle pass rush, but he´s fully capable of beating the Seahawks from the pocket.

The pick: Packers 27, Seahawks 31
