How fitting that the 2 States that recently legalized weed, now meet in the Super Bowl. Maybe we can change the halftime show from Bruno Mars to Puff Daddy? lol

15* "GOY" Seattle +3 (6:35 PM)
The public has pounded the Broncos since the line came out and hey, that's fine with me. I'll take the points. I wouldn't be surprised if the sharp money comes in soon though and starts pushing the line back the other way. I believe that will happen.
I can't help it, I love the Seahawks in this game. I love their swagger, I love "Beast Mode" Lynch and I love that Defense. I think Peyton Manning and the Broncos are in for a long day. Manning has shown in his postseason history that if you can pressure him without having to blitz to do it, he gets very uncomfortable. Many of his postseason losses have gone that way. I believe Seattle can do that and make him very uncomfortable. We also know he isn't a big fan of playing in below freezing weather and we will see if the weather cooperates with that or not.
Many think Seattle is great at Home but not so much on the Road. In reality, they are (11-2) Ats in their last 13 on the Road.
Dogs have barked in recent Super Bowls going (5-1) Ats, with 4 Winning outright. Seahawks are (17-3-1) ATS as underdogs since 2011. Advantage: Seattle
One huge tell tale stat for the Super Bowl is the Turnover Margin. The team that wins the +/- battle in the Super Bowl has gone (35-4) straight up. That means win the turnover battle and you win 89.7% of the time. This season Seattle won the +/- battle with a NFL Best +20. Denver Ranked 13th at +0. Seattle is great at forcing turnovers and great at protecting the ball too. Denver is in the middle of the pack and average at both. Advantage: Seattle
Finally ..... DEFENSE, DEFENSE, DEFENSE!!!
I'm sure you have heard that old slogan "Defense Wins Championships". It is said for a reason. It is usually true!
Seattle was #1 in Total Defense, #1 in Passing Defense and most importantly #1 in Scoring Defense. They don't let you run, they don't let you pass and they don't let you score. They are pretty balanced too because they are 8th in the League in ppg. on Offense. Denver is 1st in Offense but they rank 22nd in ppg. allowed on Defense.
15 times the League's Best Defense in ppg. allowed has reached the Super Bowl. Seattle will be the 16th. Those Teams are (12-3). Advantage: Seattle
The League's #1 Scoring Offense has faced the League's #1 Scoring Defense in 4 previous Super Bowls and the Defense Won 3 of those 4 games. Advantage: Seattle
Last but not least, the NFC has sent the League's Best ppg. Defense to the Super Bowl 6 times. They are (6-0), and those Wins came by an average of 18.3 ppg. Advantage: Seattle
I see Lynch and the mobile Russell Wilson owning the clock in this game and when Denver does get the ball, I see Seattle's defense frustrating the hell out of Peyton and the offense. Percy Harvin is supposed to play in this game and if he does, it will just be one more thing for Denver to think about. Denver may score late to get it close but in the end .......
Seattle 27 Denver 20
GOOD LUCK
