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

[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.

I feel like Wilson is more likely to choke than Manning. 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.

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

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.

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

[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

[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.
