I think the key to the game will be the Seattle pass rush. I don't doubt both Manning and Lynch will get their yards, but a good rush will cause a quick pass giving Seattle a chance for that critical interception a la the Saints/Colts superbowl a few years back.

Though I am not sure how much of that is actual impartial football analysis and how much is hope for the home team and hatred of Manning and Elway.
 
really have not seen any manning hate, and truthfully can niot see why there would be, while pass rush maybe a factor i do not see it as being a game changer and Denver has a good front 4, its going to be on the secondary to stop paytons passing in the middle and the short field out routs. Seattle takes to pushing the QB they going to get burned.
 
I think Seattle's defense will limit Denver's points. As to whether Seattle can put enough points on the board to win, I'm not sure.

Seattle - 24
Denver - 21
 
I think denvers first position manning going throw a long ball, test the secondary early and try to get a quick score and hope to set the momentum while the game is young and defense has not settled in. seattle not going to do that, hopefully they run between the tackles look for first down and take time of position keeping manning off the field.
 
denver to win thinking 3. hoping some money lost for this one.
 
Looks more an more like weather will not be a factor in this game. That along with the "12 twelve man" not being a factor, I see Denver winning by near 20 points. If Seattle can't keep the game close in the first half and have to rely on Wilson's arm and the D selling out to try to get back into the game. Could end up a huge blow out.
 
Here’s what I see.

While the weather report is saying around 39 at kick off the temp will continue to drop and the wind will increase slightly as the game progresses. Denver’s best opportunity will come early in the game when the weather is more conducive to the passing game and before Seattle’s defense has a chance to establish itself. Early scores that keep Seattle’s defense on its heels are what Denver needs to do. Establish and maintain an early lead and force Seattle into going to the pass. Seattle’s defense is going to need to get to Payton early keeping him off balance giving the secondary a chance to come up with some picks. Seattle’ offensive line is also going to have to establish dominance at the point of attack in order for Wilson to use his mobility and keep Denver’s defense guessing. If this happens Denver will have to keep the safeties close opening up the secondary and the passing game for Wilson. Of Corse if Denver doesn’t bite, Lynch will have and opportunity to get ground game cranked up. This is not to say Denver’s running game should be ignored, if that should happen Knowshon Moreno will have a stellar day.

Both teams are ranked 7th in Rushing defense.

Seattle is 6th in Rushing Offence while Denver is 15th.

Passing goes to Denver 3rd against Seattle’s 24th rank.

Passing Defense is all Seattle 3rd against Denver’s 26th rank.

So why is Denver favored by 2.5 points? Vegas knows why. I’ve studied this game from a totally unbiased perspective and I think the team with the strongest defense coupled with the better run will win on Sunday. I’m going with Seattle.

Should be fun either way, two great teams outside. The way it was meant to be.
