Seahawks vs Broncos: An Early Look at Super Bowl XLVIII
By Gary Davenport - Bleacher Report

All the way back in September, 32 NFL teams began the 2013 season with a common goal: reach Super Bowl XLVIII in New Jersey/New York.

After 17 grueling weeks of regular season play and another three epic weeks of postseason games, two teams have realized that goal.

With their victories in the AFC and NFC Championship Games, the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks have set the card for the 48th edition of football's greatest spectacle at MetLife Stadium on Feb. 2.

Thousands of fans will shell out thousands of dollars to pack a frozen stadium while the game will be broadcast to millions around the globe. This year's Super Bowl could once again break records for TV audiences. 108.4 million folks tuned in to last year's game. The two previous Super Bowls were the most-watched events in U.S. history with 111.3 million in 2011 and another 111 million viewers for the 2010 game.

Over the next two weeks, the matchup will be examined from just about every conceivable angle, but let's kick things off with an early preview of Super Bowl XLVIII.

Will Weather Be a Factor?

One of the biggest storylines surrounding Super Bowl XLVIII has been in play since well before the teams were even determined.

Since the day that New York/New Jersey was awarded the game, fans, players and the media alike have wondered aloud how big a factor the February weather would be at MetLife Stadium.

Fans may want to layer.

As Doyle Rice of USA Today reports, Accuweather meteorologist Bernie Rayno is forecasting game-time temperatures in the upper 20s, with wind chill knocking that number into the high teens.

However, based on historical averages compiled by New Jersey state climatologist David Robinson, the odds of snow on February 2 are less than one in five, per Rice.

The venerable Farmer's Almanac, on the other hand, disagrees. The 197-year-old publication predicts that a winter storm will strike the Northeast around the time of the Super Bowl, per the Associated Press' David Sharp.

Said managing editor Sandi Duncan, "It really looks like the Super Bowl may be the Storm Bowl."

Assuming the weather is just cold, neither participant should be all that adversely affected (at least no more than their opponent), but high winds and/or significant precipitation would appear to benefit the power run game and smashmouth defense of the Seahawks.

In fact, where gambling is legal, you can even bet a few bucks on the weather.

As Rice points out, online gambling site Bovada recently announced both the odds for snow (3-2) and the over/under for temperature (32 degrees) at the Super Bowl.

Speaking of gambling...

The Early Line

Every year, football fans around the world wager a few bucks here and there on the Super Bowl.

Like, say, nearly $100 million in Nevada casinos alone for last year's Super Bowl, according to Gillian Spear of NBC News.

One of the first questions even casual fans ask about the Super Bowl is "who's favored?," and the dust had hardly settled in Seattle before the betting lines started popping up for Super Bowl XLVIII.

Lines/Odds courtesy of SportsBook.com (current as of 1 a.m. ET on Jan. 20):


Point Spread: Denver -3

Money Line: Denver -135 (bet $135 to win $100), Seattle +115 (bet $100 to win $115)

Over/Under: 48

I predict a good game and probably for the first time in history, Lance and I will be pulling for the same team....I hope I jinx it for him :lol:


and the venue worry makes me laugh....in the CFL up here the majority of our fields are not covered. We also hire ex NFL guys or American guys who couldn't make the cut...and we always see the same thing. "It's snowing and -23C this afternoon, and for some reason the wide receiver from Tampa Bay/LA/Texas can't seem to hold onto the ball :lol: :lol:

the guys from the south always struggle when it gets a lil bit chilly, makes us laugh




I believe the Denver offense is going to walk all over the Seahawks :thumbsup: Denver by 10

I dont care about the teams playing in the weather, but when you pay $5000 for a seat at the super bowl, it should at least be in a warm/sunny environment

Hal-9000
01-20-2014, 09:18 PM
and that's probably the difference in north/south fan attitudes...up here we're happy to get a seat for the last game...if it's -20 with snow, too bad...those guys are getting paid well to play a sport for living, catch the the damn ball already :lol:

we're a lot like old Green Bay fans...if it's crappy out, all the better...

I'd rather see the Broncos lose in a blizzard on Super Bowl Sunday than see yet another Super Bowl in some antiseptic bland domed stadium or the same 3 or 4 outdoor stadiums every single year.

It was 63° last Sunday here, Denver deserves the chance to host a Super Bowl, as does Kansas City and New England and Buffalo and any other city with a football stadium.

I heard ticket re-sales this year are at an all-time low for this Super Bowl. I guess the masses tend to agree with you.

At the same time, I've never been to a cold weather football game. It's definitely on my bucket list even though it will probably be miserable :lol:

Just to be clear, the winner can choose any content (sfw) and it can be the av, sig or a combo of both. The loser has to use it for a week, right after the Seahawks lose.

I have a tiny request for our American friends. Up here they don't broadcast the commercials, unless you have fancy cable or satellite. Often, they run the same Molsen Canadian beer commercial ad nauseam in place of the cool new ones :x

can someone post all of the real commericals after the game? Thanks :lol:

You know, if my team has to lose, I think I would rather it be in a blowout loss like yesterday than to lose by 1 or 2 points. The Broncos were never in the game, they were beaten in all 3 facets of the game, and they didn't even deserve to be on the same field as the Seahawks yesterday. The better team won last night and my hat's off to the Seahawks.

Yeah but it was like watching someone stab an old, blind guy very slowly over the course of 3 hours....it just wouldn't stop :lol:

Meh, I'd rather "my team" showed up and put up a fight instead of showing up for being on the receiving end of a superlative beatdown. Then you can at least say "well, at least we didnt get our asses handed to us."
