To get what they want, both Bill Belichick and Zack Morris are always thinking outside the box, and sometimes outside the rules. Whether it's with deflated footballs, shady substitutions, Spygate or one of the many other schemes he's probably gotten away with, Belichick is always looking for that extra edge. Here are five things he could take right out of Zack Morris' playbook to get a boost at Super Bowl XLIX.

In the episode titled 'The Zack Tapes,' Morris used subliminal messages to try to get Kelly to go to the dance with him, which is pretty messed up when you think about. Messed up or not, I don't put it past Belichick. If there's a way to influence the Seattle Seahawks through Katy Perry's halftime show, or Idina Menzel's performance of the national anthem, he'll give it a shot.

In the episode 'Check Your Mate,' Preppy brought a light-hearted touch to kidnapping. In order to help Screech beat a Russian exchange student at chess, Zack kidnapped him, dressed up like him and lost to Screech on purpose. Belichick may not try the old switcheroo since he looks nothing like Wilson, but finding some way to keep him out of the stadium is definitely in the cards.

In 'The Video Yearbook,' Morris took the best-looking women from the video yearbook, and made dating tapes from their submissions with personal information. The ladies were constantly getting calls from men they didn't know. It was another pretty messed-up act presented as a zany scheme. If he had the means, Belichick would definitely hack the Seahawks and release their personal information as a distraction.

In the episode titled 'Fatal Distraction,' Zack bugged Jessie's bedroom to spy on her slumber party in an effort see if Kelly is going to the dance with him. I'm not sure if Pete Carroll is having a slumber party with his coaching staff or not. I am sure if Belichick can get away with bugging Carroll in any capacity, he will do it.

In 'Aloha Slater,' Zack became jealous of all the attention Slater is receiving. Zack found out that Slater might move to Hawaii, and convinced everyone to treat him terribly to get him to leave. He did this by telling people that Slater was dying and the only treatment was in Hawaii. Rumors probably don't have the same power in the NFL as they do at Bayside, so Belichick would have to falsify some medical documents to get this scheme moving.
