San Francisco 23, Green Bay 20 (3)
New Orleans 26, Philadelphia 24 (2)
San Francisco 23, Carolina 10 (13)
Seattle 23, New Orleans 15 (8)
Seattle 23, San Francisco 17 (6)
3 + 2 + 13 + 8 + 6 = 32
Seattle 43, Denver 8 (35)

That's right, folks. The Seattle Seahawks just won the Superbowl by more points than all the NFC winners won all their games by combined. It goes to show how competitive the NFC was this year.
Strangely enough, the winner of any NFC game Seattle and/or San Francisco played in had a victor with a point total of 23. Imagine the odds that would have garnered in Vegas.
