So people, you may start fighting for me as I am still undecided which team I'll support. Any good arguments?

Seahawks are all about tough D, old school football. Great running game as well with Lynch. Wilson is a dynamic QB that makes plays happen all over the place. Seahawks have arguably the best (the loudest for sure) fans in the game. Great support, with something like 10% of them being Canadian (from Vancouver).
Broncos has an unreal offense, one of the best ever assembled. The best QB to ever play the game, 4 unreal receivers, great TE and great backs in the passing game. Peyton could be the first QB to ever win the big game with 2 different teams.
Both teams have Canadian connections with Browner (suspended) being a ex-CFLer and Canadian Orlando Franklin a starter on the offensive line for Denver. Seattle also had a Canadian longsnapper for a long time (still maybe?) and gave Jesse Lumsden a tryout a few years back.
This really is the perfect SuperBowl matchup. One of the best ever. They were the two best teams all season, using opposite strategies (offense versus defense). Should be a great game. Super excited.

This may be the most impossible sheet to understand I've ever seen
I guess if you're not overly familiar with american football it would be near impossible

and the Broncos are a rather good team anyway, right? I mean they make the playoffs like every year? Has Seattle ever been to the superbowl?

If the Seahawks came out to this, it would make my life
Rap game John Elway
GO SEAHAWKS (as a Pats fan, I can't cheer for Peyton, plus I really like the defense first mentality and Sherman is a beast and I love his confidence).

My very own riot?
Solid breakdown and should be a solid game. I do like Manning but in a battle of the best defence vs. the best offence I have to cheer for the D since that was my favorite side of the ball throughout my career. Always more fun to be the one delievering the hit rather than being hit.
GO SEAHAWKS!!!!

Also, I love having the joke of Eli having more rings at the dinner table (which is ridiculous in my mind, even though Eli is super clutch in the playoffs).

Don't think Seattle has ever been to the SuperBowl before.
Denver was really good back in the Elway days of the late 90's. They went through some up and down years in the 00's eventually became known for a shutdown D. But in the past 4-5 years they have transitioned back into an offensive team again. And yes they are generally a good team. Haven't been to a SuperBowl since Elway's retirement though I think (1999?).

I believe they lost once in the SB.

2006, loss to the Steelers 26-10.
Good write up! I've been a long time Hawks fan, so while a loss here would be a huge disappointment, I can respect the fact that this is a fantastic match-up that there's no shame in losing.
You also forgot Jon Ryan (ex-Bomber) is punting for Seattle.

Wow, cannot BELIEVE that I forgot Ryan. You are right, ex-Bomber in the SuperBowl that's awesome. Lol, gotta love Ryan, probably the only punter EVER to be a team's MVP (even it wasn't official, during those two bad years he was easily the best player the Bombers had)

Look at how sorry the state of Washington is. They have nothing except rain and Twilight vampires. Gotta root for them having something to be happy about!
