What does Seattle have to do in order to win the Super Bowl for the first time in franchise history?
It's been a while, but we finally have the teams with the two best records in the regular season facing off in this year's Super Bowl. Can Seattle's lockdown defense slow down Denver's high-powered offense in the big game?
The 2013 New England Patriots overachieved this season, but they couldn't overcome a powerful Denver Broncos squad in the AFC Championship Game.
No matter who has the edge Sunday, it seems the nation is rooting for Manning, because it's been harder for him to win, because he's not so pretty, because he's considered one of us, because you get the sense that his aw-shucks, southern refrain is real.
In anticipation of the AFC and NFC Championship games this weekend, we've pulled together America's leading sportscasters to make their predictions and picks for Patriots-Broncos and 49ers-Seahawks.
It's a Tom Brady-Peyton Manning QB showdown in the AFC Championship game in Denver on Sunday. But it's the battered Broncos defense that might be the key to the game. "It's going to be easier pickings (for Brady)," John Madden told the CBS Radio morning crew. "But when you play in a championship game, there are really no easy pickings."
The good news: either Manning or Brady will get to go to another Super Bowl. The bad news: one of them will not, and be denied adding more to his legacy yet again.
The Seahawks-49ers rivalry might just be the best in the country as the teams prepare for Sunday's NFC Championship game in Seattle. "They play every year, and they play every year two times, at home and home, and you develop history," John Madden told the KCBS Radio morning crew.
For those that want to attend the AFC Championship Game, making sure to purchase legitimate tickets is a big deal. Counterfeits are more popular all the time, especially as the playoffs arrive.
Both Patriots Nation and Broncos Country are looking forward to Brady/Manning XV. The rest of the planet will probably enjoy the game, too.
When the San Diego Chargers went into Denver last month and beat the Broncos, no doubt some eyebrows were raised. Now, imagine if they do it again this Sunday.

Being the sixth and final seed in the NFL playoffs usually means you're a sizable underdog. When it comes to the San Diego Chargers, that holds true a second weekend straight.
The Denver Broncos are arguably the best team in the NFL, but that doesn't mean they're going to win this week. In fact, many stats show Peyton Manning and his Broncos are more likely to lose than win, as the No. 1 seed against the No. 6 seeded San Diego Chargers.
Not many people expected the San Diego Chargers to go into Denver on a Thursday night last month and come away with a win. Now, can the Bolts do it all over again?
Of the six coaches who were fired at the end of this season, each of them had quarterbacks with a quarterback rating placing them in the bottom half of the league.
While his beloved Bears were knocked out of the playoffs by the Packers, the country star still dreams of the Chicago team winning the Super Bowl.
Injuries slowed down the Kansas City Chiefs in the second half of the NFL season, but now they are much healthier as the playoffs approach.
Three seasons ago, Peyton Manning sat on the sidelines with an injury that many thought may end his career. The Indianapolis Colts drafted Andrew Luck out of Stanford and the rebuilding was about to begin. Little did anyone realize that the rebuilding would start immediately.
Peyton Manning set a multitude of NFL records this season, but one may be taken away by the NFL. The league and their official statisticians are currently reviewing a play that could mean a loss of one record.
The Oakland Raiders didn't score until the final five minutes of the game Sunday against the conference's best team, while the defense put the offense in a big hole early.
The Oakland Raiders will be done for the 2013 season when that final whistle blows on Sunday afternoon at the O.co Coliseum, but the Denver Broncos have their sights set on the Super Bowl.
The 4-11 Oakland Raiders can't keep the 12-3 Denver Broncos from winning the AFC West, but they might be able to stop their division rivals from claiming the No. 1 overall seed in the AFC playoffs if the Silver and Black can end a five-game losing streak.
The Arizona Cardinals snapped the Seahawks' 14-game home winning streak, beating them in Seattle 17-10 Sunday.
The Colts and Broncos have already secured a playoff spot, with others offered the chance this weekend if all breaks right. The question is, which team will win the AFC Championship this year?
