I like Seattle for the win. Broncos O and Seahawks D might just about cancel each other out so the key to winning the game could well be the other matchup. I reckon Broncos Defence were made look better than they are against an out of sorts Tom Brady and a San Diego side who were poxed to make the playoffs in the first place. They are without Rahim Moore, Ryan Clady and Von Miller whereas Hawks are at full strength and welcome back Percy Havin. Even if he's not 100% his presence alone can free up space for Lynch and that could make all the difference that Seattles offence needs.
Obviously it's easy to visualize Peyton Manning picking the Lombardi on his way to the MVP but for all his greatness he's only done it once before. Russel Wilson will need to improve on some recent outings but he's capable, and possess great presence of mind. He won't panic and I think he's a much steadier bet than say the likes of Kaepernick and even under duress he has the ability to buy up time to create space for his receivers down the field.
I like the intensity Seattle bring to their game and so long as they don't overdo it and screw themselves up on penalties I think they have the winning of the game tonight.
My pick
Seattle (+ 2) Although I think Seattle will win it should be a close one and I hate the idea of Matt Prater kicking a last second 60 yarder for Denver to win by point so for the sake of small margain's Im happy to take the spread here
Props
Percy Havin 1st TD 16/1 (Stanjames) Could be the x factor tonight
Montee Ball 1st TD 18/1 (Stanjames) Moreno carrying a knock and Balls fresher legs might be the option earlier if Denver get up close
MVP Marshawn Lynch 5/1 (Hills) Cos he's a ****g beast

Hi Mr M. I agree with you on tonight's game. To put it simply the NFC has been stacked with quality teams this year. Arizona who did not make the play offs despite finishing 10-5. On the other side Pittsburgh nearly made play offs despite a very abject year. Seattle on moneyline plus receiving the 2 points.

Howya Mr P, pity the niners couldn't do it for us but feck it, it's still been a decent year. Got sucked in to a couple more bets, small interests in HT/FT Hawks/Broncos and the reverse, 17/2 and 8/1 respectively both with 3.65 Odds just look too big.
Also looking at Hawks to have more possession at 11/10 with the reasoning that they'll be wanting to slow the game down and keep Denvers main weapon, ie Peyton Manning off the field. That's way too much betting but dammit it's the SUPERBOWL  |

jaysus Borneo, I didn't think you would into anything as new fangled and foreign as this.
I went with the Seahawks. I go with the underdog on the cap every year. |

Ruminating whether to lay off at 1.13, I know I should but don't think I'll bother though Manning looks a beaten docket if ever I saw one, bigger choke job than I ever saw from Mayo

Hard to see Denver scoring points needed against that D plus they have to try keep out Wilson at other end and again that looks highly unlikely.

Fook, if only it was always like this

Same time same place next year Mr P.
Doubt Peyton will be joining us somehow |

Yes been a great play offs financially again this year. That was some pummeling alright. Hard to know who will step up in AFC but as it is at the mo NFC looks a much stronger division.
