After two weeks of buildup and hype, we’ve arrived at Super Bowl weekend, with Sunday’s game now just 48 hours away. Much has been made of the league’s No. 1 offense squaring off against its No. 1 defense, and on Sunday we’ll finally see which side comes out on top.
Ever since Denver dispatched the Patriots in the AFC Championship and Seattle survived the NFC game against the Niners, Peyton Manning and the Broncos have been the Super Bowl favorites. However, Denver’s predicted margin of victory is slim, and fans seem fairly split on which club will actually win. ESPN.com released its reporters’ individual predictions for Super Bowl XLVIII today, and of the 48 writers polled, 25 picked the Seahawks, while 23 went with the Broncos.
So today’s PFR poll question is fairly simple: Which team do you expect to win this year’s Super Bowl? Feel free to weigh in with your specific score predictions in the comments section.
My pick: Seahawks 27, Broncos 24.

for me it just doesn’t get any better than this. the 2 best teams in the NFL goin at it for the Lombardi Trophy! i’m a vikings fan and that would be the only way i’d be happier to watch a SB if they were in it.. but they would get killed by Denver…no contest. this game has to be the best matchup possible and i’m in seattle for it!
Seattle 43, Denver 8…going out on a limb here 😉
