The time for talk is over with Super Bowl XLVIII set to kick-off (except for Richard Sherman, who likes to hear his voice throughout the game), as even Mother Nature is cooperating, providing 50F degree weather, making New Jersey's winter weather a minimal factor as Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos (13-3) take on Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks (13-3).

Manning led a historically prolific offense that was tops in the NFL in most offensive categories including compiling 606 points this year (most in the history of the NFL and the only team ever to hit the 600-barrier), and breaking the set NFL season records for passing (threw for 5,477 yards) and touchdowns (tossed 55 touchdowns), while leading the Broncos to the top seed in the AFC playoffs, while Seattle - who led in many defensive category, including leading the league with 14.4 points per game, 273.6 yards per game, points allowed (231), pass defense (172.0 ypg), takeaways (39), interceptions (28), and turnover differential (plus-20) - sports a hard-hitting "Legion of Boom" defense that has a knack for creating turnovers.

Will Manning cement his legacy as one of the greatest quarterbacks to have played under center in the NFL or will Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll add a Lombardi Tropy to his mantle to go along with college football national title he won at the University of Southern California (USC)?
