Super Bowl 48, Live from New York

As you have likely heard the biggest event in the sports news and sports on the web is Super Bowl 48 being hosted by New York, well New Jersey actually Usually I am writing on my main Blog, All Sports on the Web but due to technical difficulties I must resort to using my old blog to have my say. 

Anyway Allsports had the two Conference Championships predicted as they unfolded and really the only surprise was how convincingly Peyton Manning and the Broncos dismantled the Brady Bunch from New England. The NFC Championship game was close as predicted and hard fought by two teams that really don't like each other. It made for some good tough football to watch. But in the end the 12th man in Seattle helped propel them on to the Super Bowl as predicted.  For these predictions you can go Here. 

So now we are moving on to Super Bowl 48 with Peyton Manning and the Broncos against Russell Wilson and the Sea Hawks. Allsports has hinted from the beginning of the playoffs that he likes the over all strength of Seattle as a team. You have the best offense in the league in the Broncos up against the best defense in the Sea Hawks. Well as they always say, offense puts fans in the seats but defense wins Championships and Allsports is not about to change thought now. So Allsports predicts that the Seattle Sea Hawks will be the Super Bowl 48 Champions. Sorry Peyton, I guess you will have to play another year to get the ring to top off a brilliant career.

So why am I saying that you might ask because there are many out there that think the Broncos will get it done. Well here is what you look for. The Hawks have the best defensive secondary in the league so Peyton better be razor sharp with his passes or they will get picked off. Denver will also have a hard time establishing a good running game . So the pass will be the major weapon for Denver. If the Broncos can't establish the run they will not keep the Sea Hawks defense honest and then it goes back to what I said about the Hawks secondary. On the other side of the ball look for the Hawks to run the ball down Denver's throat. They will see more than their share of Marshawn Lynch.

If Seattle runs the ball well it will keep it out of Manning's hands. Good running means long drives that eat up the clock and Allsports thinks that will be the game plan for Seattle. Russell will also keep the Denver defense guessing with timely runs of his own as he is much more mobile than Manning. Mix in some well timed passing plays and you have the recipe for success. At the end of the day Allsports feels that the Sea Hawks are just a more complete team. It should be good and close but Seattle should win it. That's where my money is anyway.

Super Bowl 42 (aftermath)

Feb 4 2008

Well everyone I blew the call, lol, not even close in the score of the game. Who would have thought that the game would have been such a defencive struggle for 3 quarters of the game. The only consolation I have is that the giants pretty well did what I said they had to do to keep the game close. They did that and actually won the game 17-14.
The game was Eli Manning’s coming out party for sure because he played one hell of a game and was totally deserving of MVP honors. Dad and big brother were there for him and he sure didn’t disappoint. He did have two turnovers but they were not his fault, he got the ball into his receiver and running backs hands but they could not hold onto it. The giants defence gets full marks for shutting down the high powdered New England offence, and the two turnovers for New York did not come back to bite them in the behind. If someone would have bet in Vegas that the giants would have held the patriots to 14 points they would be a wealth person today. I kind of feel sorry for Tom Brady though, it was to bad he pick the biggest game of the year to become mortal and he and his whole offence played rather ordinary. Honerable mention should go to Wes Welker WR, who I thought was the best player for the patiots.
On a side note you speaking of Vegas, where you can bet on anything to do with the game. There was an over under bet of 6 as to how many times Peyton Manning’s face would appear on camera. I think the camera man and the producer bet the over because I counted about 10 times that his mug was on the screen.
So there you have it, my prediction was way off and I think everone was surprised by the out come. But hey that’s why they have to actually play the game. So the New England Patriots, the best team ever to not have won the super bowl. That’s it for now.
