Seatle has the #1 passing defence going up against Denver #1 passing offence. It's a wash. I give a slight edge to Seatle with the old adage that a great defence beats a great offence.

Seatle is 26 in pass offence. Denver is 27 in pass defence. Another slight edge for Seatle

Seatle and Denver are tied for 7th in rush defence. Seatle is 4th in rush offence. Seatle should be able to do some running. Denver is 15 in rush offence. If Denver can't run that will put more pressure on Manning to pass. Which leads me too....

Seatle is #1 in give/take ratio in the NFC. If Denver is forced to pass I see some turnovers. Denver is #6 in AFC. If Seatle can run the ball we won't see many turnovers there.

Manning not so good in the cold or in some big games.

Friday betting line has Denver being a two point favorite. I say take Seatle and the points. Over/under is 47 1/2 points. Not so sure about the over bet anymore, but I will probably still put some $ on over.

Sorry for going all 'Chuck' on everyone, but it don't do it very often. Speaking of Chuck...notice how he or Dean Rubin from college come by anymore since they, he, got called out as being the same person.
