Kurt Ballard, a student at Harvard University, developed a model for predicting the odds of each NFL team to make this year’s playoffs.
The new England Patriots win in Super Bowl 49 over the Seattle Seahawks brought in the highest television ratings in Super Bowl history. Compared to last year’s blowout when Seattle beat Denver, the rating for this year’s game was much higher.
The weather for Super Bowl 49 looks good. Day time temps are expected to be 71 degrees, but the weather really doesn’t matter. The University of Phoenix Stadium has a retractable roof. For now, the NFL plans to have the roof open, but if bad weather shows its face, the roof will be closed.
The home of the mask that inspired the Seattle Seahawks logo is at the Hudson Museum in Maine. It is currently on loan to the Burke Museum in Seattle through July 27th.
So what do the Seattle Seahawks think about deflate-gate? Not much. They say they are not concerning themselves with all the controversy. They know it is a distraction for the Patriots because that’s all the media wants to talk about.
