NFL PICKS: Super Bowl Sunday

I think Seattle will contain Peyton more than most have managed to but the Denver defense has played well (In the first three quarters at least) the last couple of games so I still see him finding ways to do enough to win.

I think a lot of people are giving Seattle too much credit. Remember: Peyton destroyed the Chiefs' d-line (no sacks in two games) and the Broncos in defense is pretty good, especially with Knight on playing like a monster at tackle. The weakness of the Broncos (pass defense) is the weakness of the Seahawks (pass offense) so I think this will be a very close game, especially if its cold.

I am putting down 1 electric green star on the Broncos.

If Denver can stop Seattle's run game, Denver will win because Champ is back and healthy to help sure up the pass defense. If Seattle become 1 dimensional and has no threat of play-action, not even Seattle's defense will keep Denver's offense at bay for the whole game.

and this Hall of Famer is in his first Super Bowl.

Colin Kaepernick burned the Broncos a few times with his legs
but it wasn't the game changer the they needed as the defense
shut down Gore and the Niners rushing attack.

Not sure the Seahawks offensive line will fare much better
even with Marshawn Lynch in beast mode... but we'll see.

I'll take your bet.

I'm hoping for an exciting and well played game
and anticipate a Broncos victory.

Broncos will crush them if the refs don't want Seattle to win again. That was a joke last Sunday.

How so?

Though it's true if there's a team that will penalize themselves out of the game, it would be Seattle (this isn't a shot at them being cheap or cheaters nor does it have anything to do with the Sherman Crabtree incident. I'm just saying that Seattle tends to be an aggressive team particularly on defense and that does tend to get more penalty flags thrown at you).

Manning used Omaha to get SD to jump on several plays. He then used it again to catch the Pats sitting on their heels more than once on Sunday. It will be interesting to see how the Seahawks react to those two games.

Exactly.

Both teams counter each other. I think it'll come down to sacks/QB pressure. Russell did not have a great game last weekend and that was because Niners we all over him. We've seen the same with Peyton in a few games, if he starts getting pressure he starts falling apart.

DT v Sherman is going to be awesome though. Cant wait for that.

In fact the all matchups in the Broncos passing game are going to be off the charts awesome.

You know there are going to be a number of clutch plays, you put that many stars in one place and then chuck them the ball and you know some crazy shits gonna go down.

Percy Harvin being in the game is going to be huge. Broncos D got wrecked two years ago when he was a Vike.

Broncos win it.

Until he gets injured in the 2nd play of the game?

Nobody is 100% after the first game of the season and Harmon has been iffy at best, but there's been some down time for all to regroup.

Heard that both Crabtree and Sherman had mics on for the AFC Championship Game. After the play that ended the Niners' final threat, Sherman approached Crabtree in the end zone, extended a hand (handshake) and said, "Helluva game, helluva game." Crabtree responded by saying nothing while shoving him away.
