Why Seattle will win the Super Bowl

Sunday's game is a matchup of the number 1 offense in the NFL against the number 1 defense in the NFL.

It is also a matchup of the number 6 offense against the number 15 defense.

Great defense plus good offense beats great offense plus God-awful defense every time. Especially when the great defense contains the guy who leads the league in interceptions.

Denver's got to beat Marshawn Lynch and Richard Sherman to win the game, and I don't think they can.

The Seahawks have the #6 offense and #1 defense.

The Broncos have the #1 offense and #15 defense.

I'm "from" Seattle and should therefore theoretically have a dog in this fight, but nobody here in Germany cares at all,so it's difficult to work up the enthusiasm.

Mrs. Obvious is from Wisconsin and grew up with all that. We tried to watch the last time the Packers were in the Super Bowl.

We didn't last till kick off....

Don't START watching until kickoff.

Way less bullshit that way.
