Thoughts??

I really don't think Seattle wins just by handing off to Lynch

If Wilson has even a decent game probs is MVP

Disagree. I think Lynch is the only way they win.

When a team plans to defend against Seattle's offense, there's 2 main things that are priorities. The lesser of them is keeping Russell Wilson from breaking out of the pocket and burning them with his legs. The more important one (by far) is the need to stop Marshawn Lynch by swarming to him and gang tackling whenever he has the ball. He'll be a major point of emphasis for a Denver defense that really tightened up a lot in the last few weeks of the season in stopping the run. I would say the chances of Lynch having a monster day aren't all that high.

However, Denver is a lot weaker in pass defense and Wilson is one of the better young QBs in the league in understanding to take what the defense gives you. Seattle's best chance in this game is to trust Wilson's arm early, seeing as Denver will surely be stacking the box early. Lynch will still likely have a decent day when all is said and done, but I think Seattle has to pass the ball to control how this game plays out and force Denver to play with balance on D.

Lynch to score a TD is a good bet, but MVP is less likely, IMO.

It's worth a shot at +450 I think. Of course Lynch isn't the likeliest candidate for MVP, but that's already reflected in the payout. I don't think he's a longshot by any means. It's worth the risk if you're looking for some props for Sunday with decent odds.
