I'm rooting for Denver, but if I were a gambler I would bet on Seattle.
The Cardinals beat Seattle a few weeks ago. If you look at that game, the Cardinal strengths which prevailed were defense and the running game. The defense kept it close, and once you get over the shock of the Cardinals' actually having a running game, you realize it was the running game that allowed the Cardinals to dominate the time of possession. Denver's vaunted passing game will not do that, so . . . Seattle will have plenty of opportunities to advance the ball and score.
My prediction is Seattle 24, Denver 20.
I think these are probably the 2 most evenly matched teams in a SB for sometime, so I think it’s going to be a very close game. For an enjoyable game for all, I’m hoping it will be that and not a blow-out (unless, of course, the Seahawks do the blow-out ;-)
I agree. Unless Manning mixes it up a lot, they aren’t the Cardinals and they aren’t going to have a running game.
I LOVE Russell Wilson, but he’s been off his game a bit the last few games (of course, the QB isn’t the only player on the field, so can’t blame everything on him). My complaint most of the year about the Hawks is the offensive line - - they really need to step up and I sure hope they do so today!
I grew up in Denver, so if the Hawks weren’t in this and Denver was, I’d be rooting for the Broncos, though, truthfully, the game wouldn’t be as exciting for me as it is now. We’re all just bubbling over with excitement.
