Just one month until NFL preseason begins. It's time for super, super, really super early predictions. Now, every NFL fan knows that once you pick a team to win it all, you have to stick with that said team.

It's just a rule.

As I scroll through the 32 NFL teams wisely knocking squads off (Browns, Raiders, Jaguars, check), I know I can only pick one to finish on top come February 2016. Then I come across the NFC West teams, and I see a blue and white bird with a green eye. I think to myself, why not again? Why not three trips in a row?

It's then and there I make my decision: the Seattle Seahawks will win Super Bowl 50.

The last team to successfully make it to three consecutive Super Bowl's (and win at least one of them) was Don Shula's Miami Dolphins. Those Dolphins beat the Minnesota Vikings and Washington Redskins, but lost to the Dallas Cowboys in their three Super Bowls. They're also the last squad to finish a season with a perfect record. Dolphins and Seahawks share no common bond whatsoever, and Miami is about 3,000 miles away from Seattle, but this season sets up for a historical year for the Seahawks in which they could tie the Dolphins record.

The Seahawks still have one of, if not, the best defensive units in the NFL. The loss of Byron Maxwell to the Philadelphia Eagles will hurt, but Richard Sherman, Earl Thomas and Kam Chancellor still create the best secondary in the league.

On top of an elite defense, the Seahawks offense has only gotten better. The addition of All-Pro tight end Jimmy Graham from the New Orleans Saints was arguably the biggest move of the offseason. Graham has recorded 51 receiving touchdowns in the 50 games he has started. You get the picture.

Perhaps the most interesting player on the Seahawks roster to look forward to is wide receiver Chris Matthews. The 25-year-old wide out has never caught a single regular season pass in his career, but played outstanding in the Super Bowl against the New England Patriots with four catches, 109 yards and a touchdown. Matthews stands 6-foot-5 giving quarterbacks Russell Wilson a big target to throw to.

Speaking of Wilson, the Seahawks have a multidimensional quarterback in him. Wilson doesn't turn the ball over very often, he's young, and he does have Marshawn "Beastmode" Lynch to hand the ball off to. If only Pete Carroll realized that last game on the one yard line.

The Patriots (as of now) don't have Tom Brady for four games, the Dallas Cowboys no longer have DeMarco Murray, the San Francisco 49ers have had about half their roster retire on them this offseason. The Seahawks should easily sweep their way through the NFC, seeing as they hold a huge advantage over the Green Bay Packers as well. Please, don't bring up the Arizona Cardinals, who don't have a reliable quarterback or running back.

With Brady out, and the Denver Broncos having a new head coach, one could make the case that the Indianapolis Colts are the biggest AFC threats to the Seahawks this upcoming season. Luck against Sherman (Stanford teammates) in the big game. Wouldn't that be something?

Oh, and Sherman isn't on the Madden game cover this year. Curse ... over?
