Both these teams are playing outside their element. Seattle is used to cloudy skies and winter time temps of about 50. The Temps will be equivalent to those of record highs, and the sunshine will be a strange challenge at kickoff.
Marshawn Lynch was asked by Sal Palantonio if it was true that he came to the media room to escape the hot Arizona sun, and he confirmed the reporters question, replying "You know why I'm here." We can see that these weather conditions have already gotten into his head.
Speaking of heads, Tom Brady's is showing signs of the dry Arizona air. These arid conditions are NOT the norm for this hearty New Englander. Is sure to have his hands full with dry, comfortable conditions, and a small potential for NFL legally compliant footballs, though current models show that scenario as unlikely.
To get some insight into what awaits our foes this weekend, we went to CCWI Tucson Correspondent Marx "Scoops" Loeb:
"I think the Seahawks will be better prepared for the weather. While they ARE used to rain, the intensely mild heat should not be as much a distraction to them. If you are used to New England in February, and you come to Arizona? Well that is just not something you can practice for. I know. I am from New England and am STILL not used to these mild winters. Back to you, Dave."
The bottom line is, it will simply come down to whichever team handles the extreme fair conditions best, will be the one to walk away with the trophy.
