With Super Bowl XLVIII just hours away, The Majors Sports Network gave their predictions for the big game. Here’s who they picked:
Adam “Dorf” Waltersdorf (The Majors East Lansing, Inside the Huddle co-host)
Seattle by 9. Because defense and running game always will win championships. It’s hard to spread’em and shred’em when its cold and windy. If this game is in a dome or warm weather, the Broncos win by multiple scores, but its not. They’re playing in Jersey
Dorf’s Pick: Seattle Seahawks
Russell “Downtown” Brown (The Majors Ann Arbor, Inside the Huddle co-host)
Denver comes out on top 20-13.
Downtown’s Pick: Denver Broncos
Jason Bray (The Majors Detroit NFL contributor)
Five options for Peyton. Weather is gonna be decent. Denver wins 34-13.
Bray’s Pick: Denver Broncos
Stephen Whittico (The Majors National, NFL contributor)
Manning’s laser cannon arm isn’t what it used to be. 24-20 Stevehawks.
Whittico’s Pick: Seattle Seahawks
Michael Cullen (The Majors National)
Seahawks by ten, 34-24. We all know Seattle has a great defense, but their offense is underrated. Marshawn Lynch will dominate. Percy Harvin won’t blow up the box score but he will make some important plays.
Cullen’s Pick: Seattle Seahawks
Tom Shepherd (The Majors Detroit)
Seattle 26-23. Offense for show, defense for dough. The Seattle D is strong overall and more than Sherman and Chancellor, Lynch is going to be in “beastmode” and count on one 60+ pass play Wilson to Harvin. Plus at a crucial juncture history has shown Manning WILL throw an INT or fumble the ball late. One time there has been an exception. Omaha! Omaha!
Shepherd’s Pick: Seattle Seahawks
James Nelson Christopher (The Majors Detroit, NHL contributor)
I’ve got Denver over Seattle 23-17.
JNC’s Pick: Denver Broncos
John Czech (The Majors Detroit, MLB contributor)
21-17 Broncos. I know Seattle is great but Peyton is a man on a mission and has been there and won it all before. The Seahawks will get their ring, just not this year.
Czech’s Pick: Denver Broncos
Shawn Bell (Detroit Sports Edge, The Sandlot Report co-host)
Denver 31, Seattle 21.
Bell’s Pick: Denver Broncos
James Quinn III (The Majors Detroit, NBA contributor)
Denver by 3… 24-21. MORENO wins the Super Bowl MVP with a multiple TD game.
JQ3’s Pick: Denver Broncos
Adam Hernandez (The Majors National)
Peyton Manning and the Denver offense are able to overcome a tight game and that strong Seattle D. 23-16 Broncos.
Pudge’s Pick: Denver Broncos
