Who do you have and why? Hawks, overall we are the better team. Wilson won't have any turnovers. The Percy Harvin deep thread (and some play actions) allows us to run the ball more and lower the Bronco's time of possession. Peyton will kill us on short passes but we limit the big plays. We will dominate on defense and special teams. Scores: One big play to Harvin leading to a Lynch TD (on our first possession of the game), one TD to TE Zach Miller, one defensive touchdown, and two field goals by Steven Hauschka, one of the most clutch kickers in the league this year.
Score prediction? 27-24 hawks, will be a close game throughout.
Super Bowl MVP? Sherman, pick 6 to win the game (what drama!!!), plus shuts down whoever he covers all game
Surprise of the game? Percy Harvin doesn't get concussed in the first 5min and actually makes an impact, (68 yard deep pass to set up a touchdown).
Newspaper headline on Monday? "Sherman Rains on Manning's Parade"
I hope this happens. Mainly just because I would want to see the interview after the game with him.
wow, besides the score this was a pretty damn accurate prediction
seahawks are champions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this day / week i live in complete bliss
Winner? Hoping to see the Seahawks win, then I'll be on the receiving end of $600.
Score? Hoping to see the score end in a 2 for the Seahawks and a 9 for the Broncos. So, 32-29? That'll be $1000 in my pocket.
MVP? Beast-mode Lynch puts up 4 TDs? Yes, please.
Surprise of the game? Welker gets his head knocked off doing a crossing route between the fastest defenders in the NFL. (Pats fan..)
Newspaper headline? Playoff Choke Peyton Manning or Beast overwhelms Broncos.
beat mode 4tds? welker head knocked off? 32-29? LOVE IT. man i hope you're right...
Here's the list of what I'll be losing money on this weekend.
Obama's Winner Pick - Broncos @ -150 Knowshon Cry During Anthem - Yes @ +170 Peyton's 1st Attempt - Complete @ -225 Wilson 1st Rush Yards - Under 4.5 @ -115 Announcers say "Marijuana" - Yes @ +350 Hauschka Points - Under @ -115 Decker Receptions - Over 4.5 @ +100 Wilson Pass Yards - Over 199.5 @ -115 Moneyline - Denver @ -140 Parlay - Denver -3, Over 47 @ +291 MVP - Decker @ +4000
Weather is looking decent, so I think this ends up being high scoring. I like Decker a lot in this game operating under the assumption that Browner and Sherman will be locked onto Demaryius and Welker quite a bit.
Brandon Browner is indefinitely suspended. Secondary is Earl Thomas/Kam Chancellor/Walter Thurmond/Byron Maxwell/Dick Sherman
Love the Knowshon crying bet (I feel like that's a lock) and the Decker MVP long shot.
I will be rooting for the Seahawks as I think that fan base deserves a championship, but I'll be shocked, flat out shocked, if the Broncos don't win by 7 or more. You can talk about the defense all day, but Manning is gonna put up points on anyone, and the 'Hawks O cannot keep pace. Something like 31-16.
I generally follow this thinking as well. I'm a Niners fan but would like to see Seattle win. Still, Manning is a damn robot, if there's anything at all to exploit in their D, he'll find it.
Dear Seahawks fans:
Allow me to apologize for the previous statement. It could not have been more incorrect. What an incredible ass kicking that was. i have forever learned that good defense beats good offense. I'm just glad this didn't cost me any money.
Please accept my apologies, and sincerest congratulations, what a way to cap off that season.
-goingbustbanking
thank you
Winner? Broncos
Score? 27-21
MVP? Knowshon "Niagara Falls" Moreno
Surprise of the game? Richard Sherman gets scored on by Demaryius Thomas and the two have to be separated
Newspaper headline? Seahawks Can't Duck Peyton
I've got Broncos 27-20
MVP Manning
Surprise (Not really) Harvin getting knocked out Q1
Headline? I don't know. I'm not creartive enough for that.
YES!
Dumb mistake on my part. I had Thurmond in my head, but no excuses, play like a champion.
Brady 4 MVP...that's my one and only pick
Broncos 24 - 17 Seahawks
MVP: Manning
Headline: "Broncos Smoke Seahawks"
Surprise of the Game: Manning runs for a TD
Seahawks to win it. Just so I can listen to Sherman rant about how Peyton is mediocre. Would be epic.
I got someone from work to give me Seattle +4, so that's what I'm rooting for. I think I got a pretty good deal.
What do you guys think of the Bud Light commercial?
//
Seattle wins, Carroll taunts the NCAA on national television while holding the Lombardi
Seattle 23, Denver 21.
Russell Wilson will be MVP and the surprise of the game will be Manning throwing 3 INTs.
Broncos win 35-21
MVP: Manning
Surprise of the game: Manning raises the trophy and continues to thank his family, team mates, agent, Elway and finally Jim Irsay.
Headlines: West Coast Seattle Meekhawks? Legion of whom? For Pete's sake!
East Coast
Broncos Run Wild! Equus Maximus!
Disclaimer: I am not really rooting for a either team, as my beloved Bears are out of it. I just believe the Broncos have an amazing offense.
Broncos 34 - 24.
MVP: Manning
The surprise of the game is that it is supposed to be 50 degrees, instead of frigid.
I call this as the worst Super Bowl ever. Absolutely embarrassing for Denver and for New Jersey for hosting it.
The real question is...who's going to win the commercial war with the $4 million per pop they're spending.
Irsay hahaha
27-17 Broncos.
Winner? Broncos
Score? 27-24
MVP? Peyton Manning because...well he's Peyton Manning
Surprise? Peyton doesn't yell "Omaha" once during the game
Headlines? Peyton overwhelms Seahawks Defense to continue record breaking season
Seahawks win it 31-17.
They are more battle tested, played against good offenses while Denver has played against few good defenses, and they're a more entertaining team. Plus, karma owes Seattle for the refs robbing them in their last Super Bowl, Clay Bennet stealing the Sonics, and forcing people to watch the kind of baseball the Mariners have put out there for the last decade.
MVP- Sherman- 2 INT's Surprise- Manning actually trying to challenge the best CB since Deion outside the numbers. Headline- "Groundhog day? Manning blows it in the cold" - "Richard makes Manning the 'Dick'"
Who do you have and why? Seahawks Score prediction? 27-23 Surprise of the game? Sherman picks Manning multiple times Superbowl MVP? Sherman Newspaper headline on Monday? Broncos get Lynched
I'm basing my pick on whichever brewery satisfies my thirst better: Great Divide or Elysian.
Who do you have and why? Seahawks. Better defense, running game, and have played better teams over the past few weeks. Score prediction? Seattle: 27 Denver: 24 Surprise of the game? Peyton Manning throws an INT in crunch time Superbowl MVP? Russell Wilson Newspaper headline on Monday? Seahaws soar past Broncos.
This is just pathetic. I never thought the Broncos could come out this weak.
Morpheus for MVP.
its getting ridiculous... 29-0? give me a break...
You spoke too soon.
I read a news headline about some monkey, who has correctly picked the last 6 Super Bowl winners, who picked Seahawks to win. So then I start watching interviews about Sherman, Lynch, watching the Rob Report etc.. and I decided to throw some $ at it. Also took tails on the coin toss & won.
Anyone get in on the action?
That was a painful Superbowl to watch.
The whole thing sucked. I wish Janet Jackson hadn't had that nipple incident all those years back. At least we could then hope for shakira and rihanna shaking ass at halftime.
Agree. Game was horrible, half-time show sucked, total disappointment. I was at a bar and left at half-time. Snooze fest.
Wow, Denver got their sh*t pushed in.
I'm going to be annoyed when the talk radio troglodytes say the loss hurts Peyton's legacy, he had a bad game but that D is godawful.
The Broncos seemed to be shook from the get-go after the safety. Not all Peyton's fault -- Broncos O-line sucked and No'Shon should have done more on the pick-6. Such a terrible showing.
On the other hand, did anyone else see Michael Douglas and Henry Kravis?
And the headline for tomorrow: "What In The F*ck Was That?"
I'm not a fan of either team, but a fan of $. This game was complete domination from the start to the end. West Coast is the Best Coast.
Defense fucked up every chance it could, offensive line didn't hold. Despite 2 picks and the miscommunication first play of the game, Manning played well, he just didn't have time to get the ball off.
Headline reads, "Mann-Slaughter!" it should read, "Seahawks Lower The Boom" @AndyLouis
Good predictions @yeahright . Even though they tied up beast mode that opened up a lot for Russell and the other guys.
Harvin is so fast...
I'm glad to say I at least won the point spread for Seattle vs Denver. And Peyton Manning/Wes Welker were made to look foolish. Good Sunday...
