Seattle Seahawks or Denver Broncos

I believe the Seattle Seahawks will beat the Denver Broncos with a score of 24-20 in the Super Bowl. The Seahawks have the best all around defense in the NFL, and have the best safety. Their safety Richard Sherman may have a big mouth, but shows up on game day to deflect many passes. The Denver Broncos do have a multitude of weapons o the offense side including Wes Welker, Julius Thomas, and Knowshon Moreno. The problem for the offense will be the quarterback, Peyton Manning who has not done well in cold weather this season and in his career. He is 1-2 this season when the weather is under 40 degrees. Even though he might be one of the great quarterbacks in history, the past has shown that he loses more under cold weather. When he faces the number one defensive team in a big game, he usually throws more interceptions that touchdowns. The other problem for the Broncos is their lack of pass defense. In the past their defense has allowed over 30 points to a few teams including the Dallas Cowboys and the New England Patriots. The defense is very vulnerable to short but also long passes that the Seattle Seahawks can produce. The key to the game for the Seahawks is protecting their quarterback, Russel Wilson, and getting Marshawn Lynch a lot of carries. In the past, teams that have beat Seattle such as the Arizona Cardinals have push a massive amount of pressure on him. They don't allow him to roam and make big plays. Marshawn will end up making the defense tired, which will allow Russel Wilson to feel comfortable in the pocket. Although the Denver defense might be able to provide pressure, the Seattle defense will end up making big plays that allow them to win the Super Bowl.
