1. Offensive line will hammer Seattle’s front seven

While the Packers blew their chance to go to the Super Bowl, they established their running game through the first three quarters of the game as their offensive line surged and gave consistent running lanes to Eddie Lacy and James Starks.

The Patriots have a bigger, stronger and more aggressive offensive front with left tackle Nate Solder, left guard Dan Connolly, center Ryan Wendell, right guard Josh Kline and right tackle Sebastian Vollmer. The Seahawks have a nasty and accomplished defensive front, but one that may not have the size and strength to win the battle consistently.

Remember, the Dallas offensive line punished the Seattle defense with its huge offensive line in Week Six, and the Patriots can do the same.
