Super Bowl 2014 picks and predictions: Opinions split on Broncos-Seahawks

Experts are split on who will win Super Bowl XLVIII between the Broncos and the Seahawks. This could be a really good game, you guys!

The Denver Broncos are Super Bowl favorites over the Seattle Seahawks in Las Vegas, but the opinions are split among NFL experts around the Internet. The NFL's top-ranked offense, led by Peyton Manning, may not have its way with Richard Sherman and the NFL's No. 1 defense.

Nine members of ESPN's 14-member panel sided with the Broncos. That is ostensibly just less than two-thirds of the panel, though two members, Mike Golic and Eric Allen, have yet to pick. The other three -- Keyshawn Johnson, Cris Carter and Seth Wickersham -- picked the Seahawks.

The margin was much tighter at CBS Sports and SB Nation. The CBSSports.com panel was split, 4-4, between the Broncos and the Seahawks. Our six-man panel favored the Seahawks slightly, 4-2, in Sunday’s game.

If you’re tallying at home, that’s a 15-11 edge for the Broncos among some of the NFL’s most prominent talking heads. That could change a bit depending on what Golic and Allen say, but the edge will stay in favor of Denver.
