The analysts' picks seem to come down to whether one believes that 'a good offense beats a good defense', or 'defense wins championships.' I haven't heard one person think other than that either team can win - or lose - the game. Of course WE WANT the Seahawks to win, but to believe anything other than that this game could go either way is just setting fans up for disappointment.

On Sunday, I'll just keep reminding myself:

8 of 11 picking the Seahawks.... WOW!!! You think they may know something. They may have actually studied this match up!

It seems like the three that picked Denver are basing it on nothing more than 'Fantasy Football' stats.
Elliot Harrison makes him self look stupider every time he writes something!
'Seattle's mediocre offense will not be able to put up enough points to win.'
Would that be the same offense that scored the same amount of points against top ranked defenses...
That Denver did against bottom ranked defenses?
What a dumbass.

Who cares what Elliot Harrison says, he was the one who said NO has better ST's than us

I feel like there's a 20% chance of a Seahawks blowout win coming. If I step back and look at this game, I just think it's an AWFUL matchup for Denver. Just awful. I would feel the same way about the 49ers defense matching up on Denver, and they have a significantly worse secondary than us (and slightly better LBs with Bowman healthy).

Lol 38-12 Seahawks with Earl getting 3 picks may be a little much, but I LOVE IT
I could see Earl getting 2.

And I'll be surprised if Byron Maxwell doesn't get one.

It seems like there are a few people out there who think the Hawks have a better overall team but do not want to pick against Manning.

This feels kind of like the New Orleans game on Mon night. All the talking heads were giving the Saints all sorts of love, saying that the LOB hadn't seen an offense like the Saints. Only to have the defense make a statement.

It kind of feels like that now, that the defense is just licking their chops for Sunday and that they will make a big statement.

LOL.. I wouldn't go 38-12, at least not in a stadium that isn't the Clink. I do believe the Hawks will have over 30 points when the game is over though.

Elliot Harrison is a complete idiot if he thinks that "too much talking" by Sherman is going to lose the game for Seattle.

8 of 11 pick the hawks for plausible reasons

3 of 11 pick the broncos for..just..weird reasons.

1 manning pick of “Destiny”
1 denver pick because Sherman ‘talking too much’ costs seattle the game
1 denver pick where we only score 14 points? Against Denver? Umm.
