I've been really going back and forth on this one.
On the one hand, you have the 12th Man, the proto-typical Roger Goodell fanbase.
On the other, you have Peyton Manning.
And I guess my prediction comes down to just what I said three weeks ago when Mr. "Fuck the NFL" was debunked: Since it should be obvious that continuous tests have to be done on Peyton Manning's neck (and we've seen how those tests can force people to retire), why do we have to know about the post-season tests at that particular time unless the seed is being planted that Peyton Manning will be forced to retire in the 2014 off-season?
I'll make it clear: If this is Peyton Manning's last game, Denver wins.
If it's not, Seattle wins.
That in mind: With a TD pass in the dying seconds: Denver 24 - Seattle 21.
(EDIT: If you haven't already, read Brian Tuohy's take on Super Bowl XLVIII. It basically almost mirrors mine to the letter. The only two things working in the Seahawks' favor are the number of bets on the Broncos (read the insert Tuohy provides), and the fact that the league-leading defense is 3-1 in Super Bowls where it meets the league-leading offense. I do really fear that one of the Seahags is going to go after that neck directly.)
