Well, given that I have the Patriots, I will jump on the bandwagon against the Patriots and hope the Seahawks hand it to them and make Gisele Bundchen go off on a rant about the team around her husband. Deflating balls helps with being able to get a better grip on catching the ball. However, when you dig into the stats you will see that LeGarette Blount had 148 yards rushing on 30 carries and 3 TDs. Unfortunately, the argument about deflating balls falls flat here--pun intended.
