Sunday evening will bring us the biggest game in all of football, the Super Bowl, one team will be the champion and the other will go home with a sour taste in their mouth.
This Super Bowl has the number one offense in the NFL (Denver Broncos) up against the number one defense (Seattle Seahawks) which will make for a very interesting game. Manning vs. Wilson at the QB spot, the running game of the Seahawks and the passing game of the Broncos are both the focal points of offense for said teams. The Seahawks are better on defense including their secondary which features the best corner in the game being none other than Richard Sherman.
The secondary (Legion of Boom) will be up against Manning and his receiver corp that features Wes Welker, Julius Thomas, Eric Decker and Demaryius Thomas. I personally believe the Seahawks can defend this as well stuff the running game that is lead by Knowshon Moreno. That is not to say that the Broncos cannot put up points, but I love the Seattle defense, history has shown defense is huge in the big games. If Manning gets in one of his grooves he will throw it around the lot, any of the players I have mentioned can score at will.
2007, the New England Patriots who had the highest scoring offense and set the then record for points scored on top of Tom Brady having 50 touchdown passes and Randy Moss with 23 receiving touchdowns which set records they fell short. The New York Giants harassed Brady all game long and they came out on top ending the Patriots hopes for an undefeated season.
I am not going to buy into the hype of an offense that scores so much being able to win, Manning fell short in the 2004 playoffs after throwing 49 touchdown passes in the regular season.
The downside for the Seahawks is the young team, not many have great experience just yet, however they are not to be looked down upon. Russell Wilson will need to play well in order to help his team out, if they can run well he will be able to throw it down the field. Percy Harvin will be a factor in this game, he can be used in so many ways and he will open the passing game up, I think he will have 100 yards and a touchdown.
Marshawn Lynch will be the heart and sole of this offense that night, and I think Golden Tate will have one big play as well as Lynch who I say will have the impact touchdown of the game to put it away.
My prediction:
Seahawks win 27-20 and Marshawn Lynch will be the game's MVP
