As I see it, this game could go either way. There appears a likelihood that the Broncos will cover the meager 2 pt number. If the spread were around 3, I'd be all over Seattle. With that said, this is only one bet, in a season where I selectively cashed many. Because I don't like "splitting hairs", and both teams have their merits, the only sensible bet is:
UNDER 47

As we all know in the betting game, who the hell knows what's ever gonna happen. However, when the best QB in the league has 2 weeks to dissect his opponent, I'll go with Denver in this one. And I always laugh when I see comments like the ones from the guy who predicted a 1pt. game, with Denver winning to make for a feel good story (Manning gets his 2nd SB!) and Seattle covering(a feel good story for vegas). Really? Man, the NFL isn't scripted like the WWE. Now do the refs make timely, strategic calls to influence the game and give the OPPORTUNITY for desired covers to take place? It sure looks like it. They can always pull out a good old holding penalty at any time! Couple points on the game. Seattle, when not at home, looked MEDIOCRE at times, and even looked bad at home a couple times near the end of the year. The D was good all year, even in these MEDIOCRE performances, but that offense could really lag. And that's all it comes down to, yes the SEA D is great, but they happen to be playing the best offense/qb in the league. The Denver D can play the SEA offense even. I also think Denver has a better chance of a special teams TD. And please don't bring up the TB sb champs as a great defensive team with an average offense to point out why SEA wins. TB wasn't facing the weapons that this Denver team has. Denver 27-20

dudes clueless first of all the great peyton manning has been in the league 16 years and has ONE ring ONE-- second he is totally immobile so unlike against the niners the hawks defense doesn't have to worry about him running so they can put all their attention on the receivers and Moreno- third the broncos had a very weak schedule they didn't face any of the NFLs top defenses all year
best defenses in the nfl are all in the NFC seattle niners Arizona Carolina and new Orleans Denver never played any of them so mannings big numbers were put up against weak defenses sit back and watch the best defense in all of football shut down an over rated offense
