It's that bittersweet time of year. All of the hard work of the season and the post-season have led to this. The big game. The Super Bowl. So awesome to see the best of the best (or the luckiest of the luckiest) take each other on. On the downside ---- what are we going to do after church on Sundays now?!?!
In any event, if you'd asked me last year whether I thought the Seahawks were going to make it to the Super Bowl, I would have answered with an emphatic HELL NAW!!!! Mostly because I didn't believe that Seattle could win enough games on the road. They're all but unbeatable at home with the legendary 12th man. But when they didn't have fanatics screaming at the top of their lungs, well....[trails off]. But this year, the Seahawks seem to have won just enough games to shut their critics up. Or quiet them at least.
Meanwhile, the Broncos have been putting on a Broncomania show for the entire season. Peyton to, well, pretty much anyone in orange and blue for touchdowns. The kicker, defense, and special teams have all been clicking as well. But, let's be real. Peyton has had his moments of questionable behavior leading to some losses that should have been wins.
So who is going to win today? In my opinion, the Broncos. I just haven't bought in to the Seahawks when they are on the road. And MetLife Stadium isn't going to come with a 12th man. Plus, I don't know much about the Seahawks' secondary (outside of Richard Sherman*). I doubt they have enough manpower to completely shut down all of Peyton's weapons.
Plus, Madden picked the Broncos to win. And they've been right almost every year...who am I to disagree?!
*Side note? Am I the only one who is wondering why there was so much controversy surrounding his comments after the NFC Championship? Really?! Why was it worth talking about after 5 minutes had passed?
