I am going chalk on this one. Denver vs Seattle

Can't see New England winning without Gronk. And unless you have a defense like Arizona, that seems like the only way you can beat Seattle at Seattle.

History has shown that the Super Bowl is usually between one team that has a bye and one team that doesn't. Only two of the last 10 Super Bowls have featured both teams that had byes.

With that said...I think this year will be another one of those exception years. I'll go chalk as well, Broncos vs. Seahawks with the Broncos winning.

Broncos/49ers was my preseason pick. Ill just stick with it even though I don't totally believe in the 49ers.

A's over Royals. Lester and experience will prove that he's worth the trade.

Tigers winning it all. Tigers are, imo, peaking at the right time.

You mean like the Niners defense? #3 in scoring defense and historically they've given Wilson a much tougher time. He's been pretty bad in 3 of the 4 times the teams have faced off whereas he had a great game against Arizona earlier in the year. Kaepernick has just been much worse than Wilson in Seattle but es also had a QB rating higher than 100 in 4 of the last 5 games and Niners are rolling while Seahawks have lost 2 of 3 and are facing a rams team that gives them trouble so they may not even win the division. Carolina's defense could shut them down too IMO.

Both Carolina and Niners could beat Seattle in Seattle. Niners beat them this year and are 4-2 against them in the harbaugh era and Carolina lost a close game earlier this season and have improved by leaps and bounds since then

Yup.

The Niners' D actually did a really good job containing the Seahawks in Seattle...it was the constant turnovers and 3-and-outs from the offense that sunk us.
