Look, a lot of threads here will have a lot researched stats ect, and a lot of that can be usefull but can also get your head going a lot of different ways. Lets keep this SIMPLE! DEFENSE WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS!!! Seattles defense forced 3 4th quarter turnovers againt niners, I can go on and on and on with their defensive stats but we all know what their defense is made of. Peyton Manning in my opinion is best quarterback to ever play the game once the smoke clears, and has tons of weapons around him. Have they been tested against a Seattle defense? Will he find a way to score? Sure he will but not like he has all season. Peyton has been criticized as being a below par qb in cold weather, he shut is critics up with a great cold weather game this year, but historically his numbers way down in cold outdoor games, and we all know where and when this one is being played. Last but not least Seattle will be able to score on Denver with suspect areas on their defense. If seattle can get it done with more points than niners in a game with that niners defense then rest should fall into place against Denver. DEFENSE WINS THIS CHAMPIONSHIP. Comments?
