Dayum. I think a lot of money on the Pats will be moving that line. If I bet on football, it would be tempting. I think the Seahawks will squeak by the 49ers (Harbaugh has trouble with his coaching nemesis, it seems, and Kaep is due one of his WTF games.) I'm with J Sizzle on Pats and Seahawks making it to the SB.
Hard to beat Manning twice in one year. Broncos will win. Seahawks' offense was ugly last week outside of Lynch. They don't show up again, 49ers will win.
I thought that Harbaugh had generally gotten the best of Carroll while at Stanford, especially given how good USC was? In the NFL, they seem to just split and each win at home.
If you look at Wilson's history, he seldom has two bad games in a row. The weather was awful for passing in the first half. By the time the second half rolled around, the running game was on a roll and there weren't many passing attempts. Also, I seriously doubt that Harvin will be as big a part of the game plan this week. I think Seattle will win by 7 or less, and Denver will beat NE (they are not nearly as good on the road).
The 49ers are the best overall team. I stack that v. any team anywhere. If they show up, they can beat the Seahawks. Kaep has struggled mightily in Seattle so it's really up to him. Manning will beat Belichick this time. Their offense is too good. They actually played it safe this week.
Pats/Broncos might have been a game if the Patriots weren't so depleted on both sides, but I think the Broncos' high powered offense will be too much to handle for the Patriots D. They win fairly easily. SF/Seattle is tough and will be an interesting game. Both have great defenses but Seattle just looks a little bit less vulnerable and look almost unbeatable at home. And I trust Wilson to make key plays to win this game. But gotta give some props to Harbaugh though. Came in and took a 6-10 team to 3 straight NFC championships, and had it not been for a questionable call vs. Baltimore, would have won a SB.
These games are going to be brutal. I think the Seahawks win, but will likely be very close. Patriots beat the Broncos, frustrate Manning again. Personally, I would like to see the Seahawks and the Broncos in the Super Bowl.
These are the teams most people wanted to see. Should be an awesome Sunday of football. I think it will be Pats and Seahawks in the super bowl.
Why have the 49ers struggled against Seattle? The defense. Best defense in the NFL in at least 5 categories. SF has a very good defense as well. However, Lynch seems to be finding his game now. If they key on Lynch, Wilson can hurt them both passing and running. Preseason I picked the Seahawks and Broncos in the Super Bowl, so I am sticking with that prediction.
These are some seriously epic match ups -- definitely the best 4 teams in the NFL. No fluke teams on a roll in it this year (looking at you Giants).
Yeah, when you create your second earthquake on a power run you are in the zone... THE FAULT ZONE! Sorry.
So one of Manning or Brady will be in the superbowl.... It's tiring ... Manning, Manning, Manning, Brady, Brady, Pats, Belichik... Blah blah blah Would have much rather seen Rivers in there. But whatever. I'm rooting for Seattle.... But they both seem like pick em games to me.
