My main league:
Defense wins championships
Manning will find a way to get it done and prove the doubters wrong.

"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle."
People doubt Manning? Denver's defense has been the one getting flak all year (what with a lot of the high scoring shootouts, like vs Dallas). Manning, despite his past playoff record, has been more than solid. It's been less a question of him producing, and more a question of whether the defense will be able to keep him on the field more than the opposing offense.
And besides, Manning just needs to be average with the weapons he has available to him in his receivers and the running game.
I pick the Broncos to win, because Seattle's offense has been struggling, even looking past the fact that they've been facing tough defenses.

People have always doubted him but completely overlooked the fact that he played for a team with a very poor D and mediocre offensive line. He now has a very solid D and much better offensive line. When you give Manning time, he can pick apart any D.
To me, those are the reasons he's having such incredible success in Denver. I've watched him for years and to me he will always be the greatest of all-time.
This is why I think he will lead his team to the win.

Denver wins and Payton cements his Legacy as the G.O.A.T

Greatest regular season quarterback of all time!
When looking at team sports I tend to look at the body of work as a whole more than championships to determine the greatest. You get points for Championships but there not the be all end all or this convo starts and ends with Montana and Bradshaw and well let's be honest Terry doesn't deserve to be in the conversation. A perfect example of this is the greatest running back of my lifetime Barry Sanders. He has no Championships but imo he is without question the greatest I've ever seen. There's 3 guys who played before I was born who could be put in the same breath but that's neither here nor there.. As for QB' I have them ranked as such.
Manning (Only if he wins in two weeks)
Brady
Marino
Montana
Brees
H.M Farve, Young
That's just my opinion and you know what they say about opinions.

Best cornerback?? Is that your opinion or his? We already know he thinks he's the best CB in the game by his comical and classy interview at the end of the NFC Championship game.
I said last week to some buddies that who ever wins the NFC should win the Super Bowl and I will stick with that, even though I hate the Seahawks.

Let's just all rejoice that the Pats are out and we don't have to tolerate Brady's face in yet another Superbowl
Neon Deion was up there for sure. He and Rod Woodson are the two that come to mind as great.
He may not have been the best, but my favorite of all time was Ronnie Lott. His first few years in the league he was a CB before moving to Safety and I loved watching Lott play the game. This guy laid out some serious hits over his career.

Go Broncos!
35-24.
Interesting to read today that most odds-makers in Vegas started the Seahawks as a 2pt or 1.5pt favourite.
Money has since shifted the Broncos to be a 2pt favourite.
Vegas has to be pulling big-time for a Seahawks win now!!!
Vegas doesn't care who wins....But I'll be rooting for the Seahawks.
I'd rather have my bag stapled to my leg then cheer for the $hithawks.
Go Bronco's!
