74% on Denver?
Seattle to the bank right?
People always seem to underestimate defense in the Super Bowl.
Yep. Manning is incredible, but I think the Seahawks are gonna bring some hurtin'. I rarely bet anymore, but I'm thinking of putting a couple of shillings on Seattle.
I remember the Ravens' first SB and how some thought the Giants' "high-powered offense" would be able to overcome the pressure and coverage. Like Mike Tyson said - "everyone has a plan until they get hit". Kerry Collins was falling down at shadows after about 3 minutes. Tiki Barber said afterwards he'd never seen holes close so fast. The Giants were shell-shocked, and their one brief moment of hope (kick return for a TD) was trumped by one of the Ravens' own. After that, it was just a matter of cleaning the blood off of the field.
I don't think the Hawks' D is as good as the 2000 Ravens', but I think they can keep Denver in check enough to win it.
