ASK THE EXPERTS appears weekly from training camp through Super Bowl with answers to a new question being posted Thursday morning. How the guest experts responded when we asked them: What will happen in Super Bowl XLIX?

SAM HENDRICKS

The first quarter will be slow and dull as both teams spar trying to find weaknesses. Score: NE 7-SEA 0. The 2nd quarter will see Brady connect with Gronk for their second TD and Seattle kick 2 field goals. Score: NE 14-SEA 6. The halftime show with Katy Perry will be a smash hit and the Victoria Secret commercial will win best commercial of the Super Bowl. The Seahawks explode for two TDs from Marshawn Lynch in the third quarter to take a slim lead. Score: SEA 20-NE 17. Seattle extends their lead midway in the fourth with a long field goal but lose in the final two minutes as LeGarrette Blount scores a short-yardage rushing TD. Final Score: NE 24-SEA 23. MVP Tom Brady with 317 passing yards and 2 TDs

I could see this going any number of ways. I see New England ultimately sealing the deal, but again, this one is really tough to call in my opinion. If so, Tom Brady joins a very short list (Terry Bradshaw, Joe Montana) as 4-time Super Bowl champions.

This is the closest Super Bowl matchup I can remember, and is brimming with storylines. We can only hope the game lives up to all the hype, and I believe that it will. Bill Belichick is a master of getting his team to rally together when everyone is against them, so I believe that DeflateGate will not be too much of a distraction for the Pats on Sunday. Furthermore, giving Belichick two weeks to prepare for a team (any team) seems like an unfair advantage. However, having said all that, I think Seattle is just the better team. Seattle's defense is a matchup nightmare for any offense, because they come out and punch you in the mouth. They force offense's to play their game, and few have found a way to beat them at said game. As a result, I think the Seahawks win a close one (24-21), on the backs of their defense yet again, becoming the first repeat champ in a decade.

DAVID DOREY

The Patriots will dissect the Seahawks' game against the Packers to see just how to slow down that Seattle offense again – though there are no secrets. The Seahawks have some injuries on defense that may impact the game but these two teams don’t match up well. Seattle is far better at home and is not used to multi-pronged attacks like the Pats have. It should be a good game to watch but the Patriots should take this one when the Seahawks' challenges to pass come to hurt them.

ANDY RICHARDSON

I am thinking of New England's meeting with the Giants after the 2007 season, also in Arizona, won by New York 17-14. Like that matchup, these are two teams with very good defenses, that will make moving the ball tough for opposing offenses. Neither team has an elite receiving corps, and I don't think LeGarrette Blount is good enough to really do much against Seattle's run defense. Should be a good, low-scoring game with turnovers key, and I simply have seen Seattle pull out too many of these kinds of games in recent years to bet against them. I'm calling it Seattle 23, New England 17.
