NFL Super Bowl XLVIII - Seattle Seahawks vs Denver Broncos

[LondonOllie]

Thought I'd start a Super Bowl specific thread.

Big Broncos fan here living in Colorado as I do, and hoping we can pull out a win.
I think this should be a pretty good game for the neutral fans.

Who are you rooting for and how do you see the two teams matching up?

Rooting for Seattle, but it feels like Manning's year. 30-24.

 

[LondonOllie]

This matchup sees the #1 Offense (Broncos) vs the #1 Defense. Broncos are favourites but often defenses win games. We will see!

 

[Geyzer Soze]

Rooting for the Broncos. Support the Philidelphia Eagles actually, but in their absence Broncos

No idea what the score line might be!

Seahawks all the way, baby!

We've suffered way too long as a sports town, we must win Sunday!

Peyton Manning is a legend, and his passing offense is one of the greatest in history of the game, which means -->>
-->> Our Secondary (aka the LOB - the Legion of Boom) will have to make some big game-changing plays...Perhaps a pick SIX by Earl Thomas, or a forced fumble by Kam Chancellor (recovered and returned for a TD by Bruce Irvin)....I hope Beast-Mode (Marshawn Lynch) recreates the Beast Quake at MetLife Stadium in the 2nd half to surpass the 100-yard mark for the game (that will also be beneficial towards a win).
I've dreamt about this day ever since we got cheated by the refs at Super Bowl XL vs Pittsburgh in 2006!
This is our time 12th MAN!!!! Let's take this victory!!!

GO HAWKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This years SB commercials during the broadcast cost $133,000 per second

The SB is the only game I get round to watching. I don't know anything about the teams, not sure who to support, so...

Who are the underdogs?
Which team has the fewest ***** in it?

Seattle Seahawks are the underdogs (as per the betting spread, and in general).
As far as your 2nd question, I'd also go with the Seahawks, but then again I'm a biased ****, aren't I?

Washington v Colorado. Hmmm. They should really call it the Weed Bowl

9 of the top 10 highest watched tv shows in US history have been superbowls. The other show, coming in ranked #5, was the final episode of M.A.S.H.

#1 was the Saints Superbowl win with in the region of 113,000,000 viewers

Fox will have 50 tv cameras, 8 of which will be super slo-motion, and 6 of which will be ultra-high resolution that are said to be able to pick up the texture of a bead of sweat.

Last time the #1 offense and #1 defense squared off was when Tampa Bay Buccaneers (defense) killed the Oakland Raiders (offense)

The UK bookies have it very close giving Seattle a 2 point start

Personally I think Seattle will win by 5-10 points

The over/under on length of the singing of the national anthem is 5 mins, 25 secs. She's an opera singer. I love these prop bets

In the Superbowl?? I don't know. It's fairly common in University football though.

@charltonbrooker: With all the ads and songs the SuperBowl = world's most expensive variety sketch show, intercut with stormtroopers playing sarcastic rugby.
