When's the last time two #1 seeds have faced in the SB?

[Axx]

this year will probably be one of those weird exceptions.

I said before the playoffs that I'm guessing Seattle - New England and I'm standing by it.

As was said before, #1s played in the Superbowl in 2009....which is not all that long ago. That said, I too think New England pulls off the 'upset' (which to me isn't much of an upset given that Brady is a proven Playoff winning QB and Manning....well isn't).

I think New England's run game will gash Denver. That offensive line just mauls defenses

Yeah, this feels right to me. Man, if that's truly the matchup, then I think we win and win big.

That's my pick also but I actually fear New England far more than Denver because of their ability to morph into different playstyles depending on the opponent played so I don't see any kind of walkover if we play them.

It only looks that way due to the AFC's lack of good defenses
