Why I like Seattle:
Although I think those pompous ass-clowns that show up to Century Link Field in their “12th man” jerseys and raise the 12th man flag pregame deserve to be individually gang-tackled by the team of Ray Lewis, Lawrence Taylor, Dick Butkis and Deacon Jones (give them the Theisman treatment LT), if these fuckers are actually producing the seismic activity during games like those Seattle scientists claim to have measured, well then that shit crayyyy. If your home field advantage includes wind, rain, noise and SEISMIC ACTIVITY then you got a pretty good shot of winning as evidenced by the Seahawks unreal record at home versus their rather pedestrian road numbers… Gimme the Seahawks.

Why I like San Francisco:
Russell Wilson struggled last week against the Saints defense. Ya I know, Rob Ryan is a defensive genius right? The Saints D is a force to be reckoned with right? Cam Jordan is a budding Demarcus Ware right? FINE… But they’re still not the 49ERS DEFENSE. The 49ers defense has 2 pit bulls in Navarro Bowman and Patrick Willis, waiting to make orphans of Marshawn Lynch’s children. The 49ers have Aldon Smith, Justin Smith and Ahmad Brooks rushing the passer. Cam Newton says he’s Superman but it was Brooks who did all the flying last weekend while almost ninja kicking Cam in the head as he soared over the O-line in Carolina. The 49ers have Donte Whitner, who tried to legally change his name to Donte Hitner to inspire fear into the hearts of receivers. Anyone that dumb clearly doesn’t give a shit about a 50K fine for maiming Seahawk receivers. So Russell Wilson struggled last week against the Saints defense eh… Gimme the niners.

Most overrated storyline for the talking heads to fill airtime:
Will he or won’t he… Can Percy Harvin get on the field this week?!? WHO CARES!!! The Seahawks went 12-4 and won the NFC West with Harvin playing fewer snaps than Tebow did in his entire Jets career. Percy Harvin was a boom or bust talent even when healthy in Minnesota putting up 150+ total yards one game and disappearing the next so there’s no guarantee even if he does play a full game that he’ll even be remotely effective. And “playing a full game” is about as likely as Bill Belichick coming on stage and dancing an Irish Jig during halftime of the AFC Conference championship game. Percy Harvin is one of the most injury prone players in the entire NFL and he’s going up against a defense that doesn’t hit people, it hurts people. Percy is a non-factor, let’s not waste our breath.
The pick:
San Fran 23 Seattle 17
