Super Bowl 60 Prediction

 Seattle -4.5, under 46

There's not a metric I look at that favors the Patriots, not one.  This does not feel like a competitive game to me.  I think a giant blowout is more likely than a Patriots win. If you tell me the Seahawks with this game by 4 touchdowns, I'd get that.  I just do not see an area of Patriots advantage sufficient for a win, other than injury variance. Not an appealing game, nor appealing outcome from the perspective of a 49ers fan.  Nonetheless.
