Plays: Denver -2.5 -102 and Denver/Seattle over 47.5 -108
Time: 6:25 p.m. ET
Reasoning: For this first outdoor-in-the-cold-weather Super Bowl the elements shouldn't be much of a factor. That's excellent news for both teams offensively, especially the Broncos. It should be a pretty fast track, and the over is 13-2-1 in Denver's last 16 games on FieldTurf. The Broncos scored a record 606 points this season and their games average 60.4 points. The Seahawks allow just 14.6 ppg, but they didn't face very tough offenses this season. Denver simply has too many weapons. The Broncos gave up a lot of points, but many of those scores came in garbage time after their victories were sealed. Basically, Denver's offense should win the battle against Seattle's defense and the Broncos' defense should hold its own against the Seahawks' offense. But I like Russell Wilson to still pile up yards through the air and on the ground because he'll be able to avoid Denver's pass rush, one of its weaker aspects, epecially against mobile quarterbacks.
Final Score Prediction: Denver 31-23
Record: 12-4-1
