you can thank me in advance... make your wagers now:
Seahawks 27
Broncos 24
BTW, I heard that this very game has the largest spread between the average points scored for one team (38 for Denver this season), and the fewest points allowed from one team (Seattle, 14 points per game, this season)... a 24 point spread.. the largest spread for ANY game played since 1950..
I think great defenses tend to defeat great offenses in sports.. Payton Manning will be under presuusre to perform like Payton Manning, the Seahawks will contain him (3 TD passes equals "containing" Manning)...
I think they have a few too many weapons for Seattle to stop, and seattle's O cant keep up. Should be a good game, the worse the weather the better chance Seattle has
Broncos in a walk. They'll score early and often. Seattle doesn't have the offensive power to play catch up. Seahawks are not playing at home and the weather won't be a factor. Denver 31, Seahawks 16.
IMHO the game is a toss-up. It may be one key play (or injury) during the early part of the second half which will be the difference.
The league must have given the word before the Seattle - San Francisco game to not turn the game into a boxing match. I hope this will be a real football game too, and it not be decided by the zebras.
