New England Patriots vs. Seattle Seahawks

These are the two top seeds in the playoffs, and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see them face off in January.

The Patriots had what many call a dynasty during the early 2000’s, and they were pretty similar to this Seattle team.

New England had a great defense, great coach and a competent offense with a quarterback that didn’t screw them over.

Seattle has only won one Super Bowl, but they are such a young team that the dynasty question would become really serious if they won this year.

I’m not sure if the Patriots have what it takes to defeat the Seahawks, but I know Bill Belichick would have his team ready to give Seattle everything they can handle.

This might be the best all-around matchup the Super Bowl could have.
