One of the biggest days of the sporting calendar is upon us. Today the Seattle Seahawks take on the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl.
 
 I have to say that I am NY Jets fan and it has been a sad season for us. The only silver lining to that fact (and the fact that the Jets have been out of the season for some time) is that I have been able to take a close look at the final series this year more than most years.
 
 I am very keen on the Seattle Seahawks in this fixture. I know the Patriots have Brady but I sense they have been distracted this fortnight with all that has gone on in “Deflategate”.
 
 The Seahawks have had a near perfect preparation and are the defending champions. They are the unquestioned best defensive unit in the NFL.
 
 Defence wins big matches like this and if the Seahawks defence get to Brady I can’t see the Patriots having a plan B to turn to.
 
 To me, therefore, the best bet is the Seahawks to win this one straight out. I will be taken the $2 on offer for this result.
 
 The other bet type of interest for me is the total game score. Last year I took the “under” mark and lost after Seahawks ran away with the game. Both of these teams can score points and that has been leaning towards the “over” bet with the median line 47.5 points.
 
 Enjoy Super Bowl Sunday (or Monday) wherever you are watching. If you are having a bet: good luck!!!
