Actually that has nothing what so ever to do with the opening lines at the sports books. By their own admission, they just throw out an arbitrary number to open and let the betting determine the line. The instant they favored the hawks on the open, the betters went with the Broncos. Betting determines their lines, not the strength of either team.And the same goes for the other side. With the suspensions at our corners/injuries at lber we've had other guys get significant playing time in big games and they've shown that they could start on just about any team in the league.
There's also more to stopping the running game than stopping Lynch. You also have to worry about contain on Wilson and Harvin's going to be playing as well. There's a reason that the Seahawks opened as favorites, and that's because they stack up very well against the Broncos. The one thing that the Broncos actually do better than the Seahawks plays right into the Seahawks biggest strength. Throwing the ball into a defense that lives off of turnovers is a very risky proposition.
