up against a uniformly exceptional receiving squad, led by one of the best quarterbacks to ever play the game, that works behind one of the best O-lines ever, it is pretty fucking stupid.

Does this asshole actually believe that Manning didn't put "humiliating the shit out of Sherman" on his todo list, tonight?

and Manning hasn't played that well when it gets really cold. We'll see what the weather looks like but between Seattle and Denver it could be a low scoring ground game.

Personally I'm hoping for a Seattle win, I used to cheer for them when I was a grad student.

That will stiffen a normal neck. Just imagine you have a metal rod in your neck and that Sea Hawk defense coming at you.

Hawks will win. All that passing, and record setting offense usually has mega trouble when playing against a solid defense. Add some cold weather maybe strong winds... The team with the better defense and run game tends to win.

Hawks and off the top of my head 34 28 ....

Go Hawks!

True, I have ulterior motives...but I think either team would have beaten the AFC this year....at least the AFC teams that played today.
I am truly impressrd with Russel Wilson and the Seahawks.

am rooting for our under dog. But it doesn't really matter as I am not a seahawk, they are just local-ish. People are pretty excited though.

#1 Offense vs #1 Defense

Both teams can go to the air or keep it on the ground.

I'm taking the 50 point over.

The weather could be an issue for the Broncos, I think. And the Seahawks defense is outstanding. But Seattle is also much better at home, so getting them on a neutral field will help.

beginning and when Denver won, I predicted a Seahawks win in this SB.
I would have been MUCH more nervous if the patriots had won.
Saying that, Denver is an old rival, and to play them in this game is perfect
for us old fans.
I've hated Denver since the "orange crush" days.
Seattle will win, bet on it.
In fact I will.
