Thanks, man. Same to you. Trying to build the roll for March Madness.
I don't have an opinion on either side. What I see (fwiw) is that both teams really got emotionally up for last week's games. Peyton "proving himself" against Brady and Seattle going against their rivals and looking for payback for last season. I think the 2 weeks off plus staying a week in this iceberg they call NYC for a week is bound to take the wind out of their sails to a certain extent.
I'm not all that sold on Manning as a big time money player. People were still calling him a choke artist before last week. Seattle has a young team that is bound to be in awe of the moment. All of this leads me to believe that there will be some miscues and tentative plays at the start. I definitely love the under for the first half here. The heavy winds at the meadowlands will dampen Manning's passing attack plus I think Sherman is gonna be a HUGE factor. However, I don't think Wilson will be able to capitalize as much on this. This leads me to call it under. 20-13 Seattle. Marshawn Lynch is MVP.
Just my take.
