Watch NFL 2014 Playoffs Sports between Seattle Seahawks vs Denver Broncos live online streaming free tv.
It's the best v best, the two top records in the league, the AFC No 1 v the NFC No 1 and the best of-fence versus the best defence in the league this year, you really couldn't ask for a best scenario for Super Bowl XLVIII.
INFO: As always it will come down to fine margins, and with these two teams matching up so brilliantly it should be a close one as Seattle tackle Denver for the Vince Lombardi Trophy.
Experience- Denver have the edge, they have Peyton Manning looking to win his second Super Bowl and coach John Fox coaching in his second - with three other players with previous big-game experience, in this game in particular, that is vital. Seattle, on the other hand, have none - they're the first team since the 1990 Buffalo Bills to go into a Super Bowl without a single player with previous experience. They are young, hungry and fast as a team, but that lack of know-how could just find them wanting.
THAT offence v THAT defence- This is the big one, can Peyton dissect the league's roughest, toughest defensive outfit? One thing in his favour is that his line keep him well protected, if that continues he'll have every chance as Seattle don't usually disguise their defence - they line up as they line up and just say we'll beat you. Seattle need to get in Manning's face, as it's hard to see them outscoring the NFL's best ever attack. The Seahawks have only faced one Top 10 offence all season, and with Denver being the first team in history with five players grabbing 10+ touchdowns - the options are plenty.
Form- Can't split them on numbers, with identical 13-3 records and identical home/away splits. Both won two play-off games at home to make the Super Bowl and both have been favourites to get here from day one.
Officiating- Both teams have been called out this week for sailing close to the wind in terms of the rules. Denver loves a 'pick play' where a receiver gets in a defensive back's way to enable a team-mate to get open - Wes Welker got away with one against New England which upset the Pats. Seattle obviously are a rough defensive unit. They like to jam the receivers on the line of scrimmage, but they have been known to stretch the five-yard limit on contact and if the officials clamp down on that it could limit their effectiveness.
