I said this at this time last year and will say it again.  Despite it being a passing league, defense STILL wins championships.  Denver's defense was maligned all season but they stifled Phillip Rivers and Co last week abd today, they shut down Tom Brady until it was garbage time.  Seattle has one of the most stifling defenses in the league.  They were responsible for causing three turnovers by Kaepernick in the second half today.

Again, defense wins championships.  Denver's and Seattle's defenses both stepped up and made plays when it counted,, which is why their teams are still playing at this point in the season.

That being said, I see Seattle's defense shutting Manning down. 

Seahawks win the Super Bowl

If you think Denver is in the Super Bowl because of their defense and not 100% because of Peyton Manning then you have a head injury like many of those former NFL players

HA...you really believe that. And even if it is true (which its not).....that doesn't mean there Defense is the reason they are going to the Super Bowl! If they win the whole thing its not because "defense wins championships".....its because they got one of the very best QB's to ever play in the league and he threw 55 friggin TD's this year!

You are a funny man

Defense does win championships. Seattle pulls off a "stunner".

Seattle: 23
Denver: 17

#1 offense vs #1 defense.  Let's see who comes out on top.

I'm sticking with my earlier prediction of [AFC team] over Seattle, which means I'm taking Denver.

Denver in a low scoring game.

31-17 Denver.

That's low scoring for Peyton, right?

For the "DEFENSE WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS PEOPLE"

2012- SF #3 ranked defense. Ravens ranked #16.....RAVENS won

2011- Pats ranked #31 in defense. Giants ranked #27 (somebody with a shit defense had to win)  **Not to mention in the AFC Championship game and NFC Championship game the Ravens lost to Pats and the 49ers lost to Giants. Ravens #3 rated defense and 49ers were 4th rated defense that year. Defense wins championships though?

2010- Steelers with the #2 rated defense....Lost to GB!


Yeah, defense wins championships  Roll Eyes

I like Denver to beat Seattle in a low scoring game.

(if its bad weather though on Super Bowl Sunday  I have the right to change this pick before kickoff)

Considering no QB, who led the league in passing has won a Super Bowl in the same season. I'll take my chances.

I usually cheer for the NFC team in the Super Bowl, but I just can't do it this year. It is my sincere hope that the classless piece of shit known as Richard Sherman never wins a ring. Taking it a step further, I would shed no tears at all if he was run over by a metro bus or contracted a painful STD that caused his nuts and dreadlocks to both fall off.

That had to be a low blow for 9ers fans.

Short of the std and the bus I agree. What a dumb arse. Hoping Manning hits him up for 5 TDs to teach just a bit of humility.

Sherman was a complete douche last night no doubt. I picked Denver to win the whole thing back in August and I am sticking with them now.

Denver - 35
Seattle - 20
