The Teams
The Broncos are primarily a passing team but have had some success with the run due to threat of the pass. Peyton Manning has thrown the ball well as he has had a lot of threats in the air with WR Eric Decker, WR Demaryius Thomas, WR Wes Welker and TE Julius Thomas. The Seahawks defence are the number one pass defence giving up an average of 172 passing yards a game and an average of 16.3 points per game. The Seahawks are the best pass defence in the league but have consistently struggled against the run. With Seattle'sstruggles against the run, Denver would do well to run draw plays to fool the defence into thinking that the play is a pass bit instead hand it to the RB. This would do well because Seattle would struggle against the run after thinking it was a pass.
The Broncos defence is a good defending the run but Marshawn Lynch (a.k.a. The Beast) is prised for a big game despite the Denver defence. Russel Wilson is also set to have a great game as he is at the peak of his season with several fourth quarter comebacks and some great games.
The Odds
The Broncos are no more or less likely to win even though Manning has a good streak coming up to the Super Bowl and the two weeks off will help him connect with his receivers better and for Denver to consolidate the run. It also provides the defence to get familiar with the RB who is Marshawn Lynch. "Pot Roast" the DT who is unbelievable at sacking the QB but he will have trouble getting to Russel Wilson who is quick on the ground but is ready to go after him after many training sprints. Another thing that doesn't help Denver is that WR Percy Harvin is ready to play in the Super Bowl for Seattle but is not fully fit to play.
The Seahawks are not backing down to the challenge as Russel Wilson is set to have a big game despite not having Percy Harvin at full fitness but he has found connections in WR Golden Tate and RB Marshawn Lynch. He is also great at breaking down defences with his ability to run as well as pass. Marshawn Lynch is set to go into "Beast mode" as better defences have not stopped him so far and Denver is neither good nor bad. The Seahawks are on a great roll after beating the San Francisco 49ers and the New Orleans Saints who are great at the pass and have a similar gameplan to the Broncos and Seattle stopped them time and time again and Russel Wilson is on the hottest streak in his career. It doesn't hurt that Knowshon Moreno is currently on a limited practice status and is unclear whether he will start over Montee Ball.
This game will be tight as both QB's are poised and ready to go as are their defences. Enjoy Watching!
