My Super Bowl Pick

Much has been made of the #1 offense in the NFL (the Broncos) playing the #1 defense in the NFL (the Seahawks).

The thing is, it's not just the Broncos' offense playing the Seahawks' defense, is it? It's also the Broncos' defense (ranked #18 for points allowed) against the Seahawks' offense (#8 for points per game). I suspect that an okay offense versus a mediocre defense will score enough points so that a number one offense versus a number one defense won't matter much. I give the Seahawks a mild advantage here.
