NFL pick: Super Bowl 48

Two weeks ago: 0-2
Playoff record: 4-6
Season record: 167-87

Man, if I was an NFL team, I would be one of those teams that goes 12-4 and flames out in the divisional round.  I need a win on this pick just to be closer to .500 and respectability.  Anyway, this is it.  The last game of the 2013 season, and another 7 months of waiting for football to start up again.  Oh well, we knew it would happen, as it does every year.  But we do get one final, hopefully awesome game Sunday.....

Denver vs. Seattle--You can't ask for a better match up--the NFL's best offense against the NFL's best defense.  Of course, Seattle has a semi-decent offense, and if RB Marshawn Lynch can get going, they will no doubt try to control the clock to keep Peyton Manning off the field.  The Broncos have a decent defense...maybe better than decent.  But it's going to be the most fun watching Peyton try to move the ball against one of the sickest defenses I've personally ever seen.  And I'm not sure he's going to have much success, because he hasn't seen a defense this good, at least not this season.  They will rush him, they will cover his receivers as good as anyone has.  But of course, Manning's strength is always how fast he gets rid of the ball, so we'll see.  Don't sleep on Denver's run game led by Knowshon Moreno, or on Seattle's young and budding superstar QB Russell Wilson.  Both teams also have excellent special teams.  So...here we go.  Seahawks 19, Broncos 16
