It's either going to be a Denver blowout or Seattle squeaks out a victory. I wouldn't bet on the whole game, but the second half line may be intriguing.
I don't know beans about American football. I do know that the Denver Broncos are owned by a Canadian from Edmonton, Pat Bowlen. Bowlen's company built Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton that is the home of the CFL's Edmonton Eskimos. The Bowlen family has a long history in Alberta. J.J. Bowlen was Lieutenant Governor of the province fifty-some years ago.
Sad to say, but Pat Bowlen has started down the road to elderly dementia. He no longer does interviews or makes public appearances.
Seattle wins, their defense is too good. They can play in the elements. If it's windy then Manning's ducks are going be hanging in the air and the Seattle D-backs are gonna have a field day.
Don't get me wrong it should be a good day, but I think Marshawn Lynch is they key to the game. If he gets going Denver is done, the Denver D is good but not nearly on the same level as 49ers was.
To bad I am in an area with no decent clubs or sports bars or I would go half watch the game with a half dressed cutie on my laps. If I was in Providence I'd go to Cadillac Lounge.
In any event I hope it is a good game. I am still a bit of a Peyton Manning fan since I am a Colts fan since the local team where I live now sucks.
what about Hugh he's been right the last 4 in a row and he went with the other team. Damn manatees and their betting scams, the scourge of the ocean they are.
I’m picking Seattle – their physical defense will disrupt Denver’s precise and timing-critical offense.
If Denver wins I don’t think it would necessarily be b/c of their talent (although they *are* talented) – but it would be b/c they are overall a more experienced team (and that may actually end up being the key).
@GMD I think he means like physically talented. where as experience is where veteran players who are maybe not as physically talented can even the odds or gain an advantage.
Out of curiosity I phoned a bookie that I know here in Calgary to find out his line. Must be lots of Seattle money here in Calgary. The local bookie has Denver at just -0.5. That is a huge difference from the Vegas line.
A new well is being spudded soon up north; that is a $25,000,000 gamble for me.
I don't think that I will touch this Super Bowl proposition.
Since I live in Seattle, I naturally think the Hawks will win. But Colorado is a damn good team and you know it going to be a damn close and intense game.
No way I would bet the farm on it. Maybe just one strip club outing - $500 or so on Seattle.
1) 35 point victory margin
2) Yes- Malcolm Smith, Seahawks linebacker who scored on a "pick six", and recovered a fumble became 3rd linebacker in SB history to win MVP award.
Was not surprised Seattle won – but really surprised they were able to put up that many points (although their super-defense was responsible for some of the scores by either scoring themselves or giving Seattle great field position – and special teams also scored).
turnovers and putrid tackling is what killed Denver. Seattle had receivers breaking 3-4 tackles a play because Denver kept trying to make big hits instead of playing with good fundamentals.

What's the spread?

This is the only time ever I wish I was in Seattle right now.
Seattle can get cocky when ahead, but, sheesh, 29-0 lead.
1) What will be victory margin
2) Will MVP be a Seahawks defensive player ? (I think there has only been ~ 3 defensive players who won SB MVP)
1) 35 point victory margin
2) Yes- Malcolm Smith, Seahawks linebacker who scored on a "pick six", and recovered a fumble became 3rd linebacker in SB history to win MVP award.
