Super Bowl XLVIII

[D'z Nutz]

I only care because the Chili Peppers are performing haha

[lasimmon]

I've already wagered on the Seahawks against a friend of mine who is a Broncos fan.

#1 offence vs #1 defense. Should be a good game!

[Dave P]

Go Hawks!


Not big money or anything, but placed this last May

[max_boost]

Can't see the Broncs losing this one. For legacy purposes and to shed the choker image, Peyton is gonna have the game of his life. My money is on the Broncos.

[roopi]

Defence wins games but I'm liking the Broncos. They have a very decent D and the best O in the league. I hate both teams though.

[Mibz]

The Seahawks are my "home team". I love Peyton Manning. I hate Sherman.

I still don't know who to cheer for. I'm just glad NE and SF are out :D

[CanmoreOrLess]

Seahawks are not at home, so the home field advantage they enjoyed this season is a non event. Having watched every Seattle game this season (they are my team), they will need to play far better than the garbage of last weekend against SF. Denver will be my money pick, need to look at the point spread though.

[dirtsniffer]

They haven't had a losing road record in the last two years either. the SB is not really a home or away game. There will be fans there of all natures.

Either way, I'm taking the Broncos

[spikerS]

I am not betting anything this time, I was wrong in the conf champs on both sides, so I am not betting the superbowl.

I was sure it was going to be a Pats vs 49rs for sure!

[lasimmon]

Bronco's only win if their running game gets going and has a monster game. I doubt even Manning has an astounding day against a defense he hasn't really experienced this year (skill wise). Also he tends to get off his game when it counts most.

I feel like if Russel Wilson and co get going on offence and Lynch goes beast mode there is no way they lose.

Lynch will be the same player he is against any competent D. Completely shutdown, averaging 3 yards a carry, then ONE TIME he'll find a gap and make a huge play.

[a social dsease]

Question is, can wilson and the seahawks offence put enough points on the board? Hawks defence is unreal, I'm sure they'll be able to hold the broncos to 20-25ish, but if the offence continues to play like shit then it won't matter.

[schocker]

Go seahawksssssss

Should be an interesting game for sure

Percy Harvin = difference maker... hopefully :D

You should have jumped on this earlier. Seattle opened as a 2 pt favorite and now Denver is a 2-2.5 pt favorite.

Denver did a great job on the NE run game. 64 yards rushing. NE isn't a huge rushing team but after they put up 234 yards against the Colts the prior week it was huge.

Clearly when they prepared for NE that was a huge focus and I think they will be even more prepared for Seattle.

I still hate both these teams though. :rofl:

Ya just put up the most yards against the #4 rush defense in the conference championship game, oh and the only player to run for over 100 yards against them all year..... Completely shut down :rolleyes:

[buh_buh]

Lynch had a 40 yard run and basically did nothing before and after that.
Russell Wilson hasn't done much the second half of the season either. They've just been riding Lynch all the way to the SB. I'm going with Manning and the Broncs.

[beyond_ban]

I am willing to throw a friendly bet of $200 on the broncos. Let me know if there are any takers :D

[civic_stylez]

I love the Seahawks but they need to stop with the turnovers/fumbles. They may have got away with it against the 49ers but Manning will make you pay big time on turnovers.

Lynch had a 40 yard run and basically did nothing before and after that. If you take out his longest run in each game he's barely averaging 3 yards a carry. NO was his best game in recent memory but he also got the ball more than any other game this year. Seriously, every game I've paid attention to him he's been average at best, but then once per game he'll find/make a gap and exploit the shit out of it. That's the same as any other RB though.

I feel like the hype around him comes from the fact that he's on Seattle, but I'm willing to admit I'm not educated enough to be firm on this.

[buh_buh]

He also had a 30 yard run against NO on 28 carries. Take away that 30 yard run and he's down to 100 yards rushing on 27 carries. Again, not that impressive.

I know he still made those long runs, but as Mibz says, he's not that good every down.

[bmeier]

niners outplayed seattle the majority of that game.

it came down to a couple lucky plays for the hawks and some bad luck for the niners. losing lupati and bowman plus some of the bad calls.... even then the niners had a good shot to win.

hawks are a good team but not a great offense and they arent likely to keep denver off the board.

[Marsh]

Hate the seahawks, but their going to win. In a battle of Great offense Vs. Great defense, the defense has won much more.

[beecue]

PFM is going to win the superbowl and cement himself as the GOAT!

[austic]

I feel like its going to come down to composure, the Seahawks are more likely to crack than Manning.

[sexualbanana]

Of any QB in the league that'll be capable of picking apart Seattle's cover 3, Manning is. Seattle's cover 3 is considerably more aggressive than the typical version, but when you're pressing guys like DT and Decker, you're going to have to soften the coverage somewhere and that'll either be in the slot or at the TE position which means a lot of passes too Welker and Thomas. Both of whom are deadly.

Having said that, Lynch vs Ball/Moreno is going to be really important. Broncos turn the ball over a lot on fumbles, and the Seahawks will probably want to keep the ball out of Manning's hands as much as possible.

[max_boost]

$100 on the Broncos to win. Anyone against that? :D

[CompletelyNumb]

Whats the spread? :p

Currently Denver -2 to -2.5 depending on the book.

I don't need luck!! :)

[faiz999]

i think its mannings year, so im taking the broncos.

that being said, the seahawks D will keep this game very close. it may come down to the last drive and if its peyton with the ball, hes gonna close the show. if its on russel, im thinking broncos will be able to shut him down.

wilson will have to come up HUGE, because that run game will be shutdown by the broncos front line. he's made big plays the last two weeks, when it mattered but if one of those 50 yrd bombs didnt connect, we might seeing a different matchup this year.

[bigboom]

Manning playing outdoors in cold weather in New York...I'm a huge Broncos and Manning fan but the one thing I don't like is Manning in cold weather.

Regardless, GO BRONCOS!

For you guys saying "straight up" are you betting against the spread? If so, who calls the spread?

Sorry for the dumb question, the only sports betting I've ever done was on outcome.

Straight up means there is no spread.

[dirtsniffer]

what's the over/under on Omaha's?

Straight up = outcome/end result

Oh man this is gonna be an awesome game. Can't wait! :eek:

[Bladeh]

Gotta go with Omaha!

[ExtraSlow]

OMAHA!!!

[lasimmon]

Game day!

Are you ready for some football!!

[max_boost]

Good luck! :D

seahawks by 14

[btimbit]

lol Queen Latifah? Screw this, I'm gonna take this moment for a last minute beer run. Should just do what Bill Burr suggested and record this and just tune in 90 minutes late so I can fast forward through all the BS. I just wanna see football.

[lilmira]

awesome coin toss, let's call after the toss. :rofl:

Interesting first snap

[FixedGear]

Lol nice coat Namath

[max_boost]

lol you might as well PM me your e-mail lasimmon

Fuck Manning in the cold.

[Twin_Cam_Turbo]

Bahaha my buddy promised to suck a dick if the Seahawks win, he's already ditched his hat and jersey...

[Kloubek]

Unreal game so far. I expected the Seahawks to compete, but I certainly didn't expect Denver's offense to be non-existent.

Broncos are taking, "Give it away, give it away, give it away now" to heart...

Fucking darkest time line going on here. Manning going for a comeback record.

Wow.

Harvin is a beast!!

[max_boost]

lmao

holy shit

Sorath would have made an easy $100 too. Too bad that loser said,

"If it goes to OT, I win" regardless of outcome. WTF is that. lol :rofl: Typical chinaman, can't back up his words.

Not sure if you can put that on Manning, the entire team didnt show...

[bcylau]

its not all him for sure. but when you look at his career, this game will always show up.

Once again, great reporting by the Calgary Sun:

Once again my strategy of betting against the team to score first shows it's wisdom.

yea it's too bad, probably the least exciting superbowl I can remember. it's best when scors is back and forth and you don't know who will win until the last 5 seconds of the game.

I found that having somebody who was going to owe me $50 sitting on my couch made the game thoroughly entertaining.

Fuck Manning. Fuck either Manning.

I can stand Eli, but I would cross the street to punch Payton in the teeth. I genuinely HATE Payton.

[Marsh]

That was probably one of the worst superbowls ever. It wasn't even remotely competitive...great if your a seahawks fan (which im not ) but yeah definitely not as good as the last few years have been. We were overdue for a doozy.

[guessboi]

Manning is a choker in the big games. Glad I wasn't a bronco's fan yesterday. :D

[johnlennon]

Brutal. If that game was on regular season I would have turned it off at the half.

Ive seen lots of games with Manning and he seemed tense and not himself (yes this has lots to do with 300 pound defense men charging at him more than usual). But even in general he was second guessing himself and throwing them not even close to receivers. I think Sanchez could have even done a better job...

Oh well, at least there's next year.

[max_boost]

He will cement his legacy next year by winning the whole thing and retiring. Go Broncos Go!

Giants vs Broncos next year! haha
