I may be letting my local enthusiasm get in the way of a smart pick, but I do live in Cascadia and I do not have confidence in Cam Newton. Russel Wilson has an excellent shot at the MVP this year if he stays healthy.

pick - Seahawks

Ps. - Since I am a Seahawks fan, I never actually bet Seahawks games, since my analysis can get muddled by hope, but I really do like the 'Hawks this year.
