Broncos/Packers.

-It's a 1990s throwback game.

-Peyton Manning vs. Aaron Rodgers

-Peyton's last hurrah cultivating an amazing career

-Aaron coming back from injury when the Packers were dead in the water.

Ooo, that's a good one I hadn't thought about. Two very marketable QB's who have already proven their value in TV Ads.

Luck & Brees also fit that bill IMHO, albeit, Luck isn't yet a proven TV commodity outside of Indiana.

The benchmark of QBs, Peyton, with his nostalgic appeal against the little chew chew that can, Brees.

Colt and Seahawks.......especially if the Colt eliminate Manning and the Broncos. The media will be all over that.

Football fans are going to watch the game no matter what.

But having two young guns in the big game with all the dynasty potential coupled with the fact that Luck is riding into Indy right after Manning and right after beating him would be the biggest story line out of any these teams could offer. Now factor in how likable and engaging and humble Wilson is and you have the nations attention, because of the brash and chirpy attitude of the Seahawks he stands out as a nice guy and that's a week long storyline all on its own.
