Betting Preview

Joe Nicholson-USA TODAY Sports

The Seahawks have been the favorites virtually all season, no matter who they play, and will head into uncharted territory as three-point underdogs in the Super Bowl.

Both teams finished 2013 with identical 13-3 records and a shockingly similar amount of attention, but Manning's Broncos have been the more impressive team in the postseason. Wins over San Diego and New England were much more competitive on the scoreboard than on the field, while Seattle had to come from behind in the NFC title game.

The over/under of 47 is an important number to note. That's high for a game featuring Seattle's defense but also shockingly low for a game featuring the Denver Broncos.

If it turns into a shootout between Manning and Russell Wilson, that over/under of 47 could be shredded by halftime.

That number may also be affected by the cold weather likely for the game, which Manning elaborated on and related to his recent neck injury, via DenverBroncos.com:

"

I think any time coming off an injury like I had, the more situations you can face, whether two-minute drills, third-and-1s, fourth-and-1s, I needed to face different circumstances with my new surroundings, with my new physical state. In two years, I feel like we've seen a lot as far as on-the-field situations -- weather, crowd noise, you name it with this team. So I do feel comfortable.

"

There are also listings available for likeliest player to take home the game's MVP award, as listed below:

Player	Odds
Peyton Manning	11/10
Russell Wilson	15/4
Marshawn Lynch	15/4
Percy Harvin	18/1
Knowshon Moreno	20/1
Richard Sherman	20/1
Demaryius Thomas	25/1
Wes Welker	25/1
Golden Tate	28/1

Manning is the money pick, with insane 11/10 odds of being the guy. Considering he's nearly a lock if the Broncos win, it is far from surprising that he's the big favorite. 

The next three picks are all on Seattle, serving as the top trio if you were betting on the Seahawks. Wilson, Marshawn Lynch and Percy Harvin all trail Manning with much smaller odds of being the game's most valuable player. 

In such a quarterback-dominated league, anyone other than Manning or Wilson winning the award when it's all said and done would be a big surprise.
