Panthers or Broncos?

I'm hoping for a Panthers win but think the Broncos will edge it.

CL supported teams (as far as I know) we have 4 Broncos and 0 Panthers in our collective.

    Has there been a huge fuss over it being the 50th one?

    Carolina for me .. though the Broncos will be desperate to seek salvation after the recent SB hammering from Seattle .. incidentally, for those who didn't know, other than on Sky, the game is free on the BBC TV ..I'm a poet and don't know it ((:>) .. enjoy

    Can't see Broncos winning unless the Panthers completely freeze.

    On a side note nice to see the Snake finally get into the Hall of Fame albeit posthumously.

    Think the Panthers are going to win comfortably unless as mentioned above they freeze

    I think it'll be the Panthers. They deserve it. I'd quite like to see Manning go out on top though. Should be a good game.

    "An average NFL professional football game lasts 3 hours and 12 minutes, but if you tally up the time when the ball is actually in play, the action amounts to a mere 11 minutes"

    Think I'll be either chewing cactus or watching paint dry!!

    I'm the opposite. I'm picking the Broncos for Manning and co. but think the Panthers have too much quality at both ends. Broncos will have to hope the best team of the year performs below par to have any chance of a win.

    Will be watching for as long as can stay awake

    Am expecting a blow out
    Panthers to win by 18 points.

    As a Chief I can not make myself like or support the Broncos. So I am going for the Panthers.

    I do think the Panthers are the better of the two teams and come from the stronger conference. Wouldn't be surprised if Manning gets the fairy tale ending though.

    Each year i say i'm going to watch my one American Football game of the year and each year i fall asleep way before it ends . I'm going to try to last out the whole 5 hours tonight and try to undrestand what's going on at the same time.

    I don't care who wins so will enjoy a rare superbowl as a complete neutral. Expecting a tight, fairly low scoring game, panthers to win by 4

    Going by your form this year Callum I think I can start celebrating a Panthers win now.

    Predictable sniping from people who should just stay off the fucking thread if they don't like/understand it

    Broncos fan, but they have no chance. Would love them to do it, not just for Manning, but to erase some horrendous memories of the pasting by the shitehawks. Suspect they will get thrashed - 21 point margin for the Panthers.

    I pray its not going to be a blow out, the Broncos absolutely must stop the Panthers getting off to their usual flyer. If the Panthers go up by more than 10 at any point it with be curtains for Manning & co

    In SF this year (actually Santa Clara but who's splitting hairs).

    21 degrees and clear blue sky today so perfect for football.

    I think the Panthers will win unless the Broncos defense bottles them up like they did with the Patriots in the AFC Championship game.

    You should probably avoid the halftime show if you want to stay awake this year

    Usually superbowls are pretty turgid affairs, I'd suggest watching one of the lunchtime kickoffs when they play about 6pm UK time and watch a relatively high scoring team like the Pats, Cardinals or Panthers, that way you'll get into it more

    Fat blokes grappling with each other. Thin blokes jumping, catching balls and running. What's not to like. Unless you have standards

    My appreciation for the sport has increased 10 fold since moving to Canada and watched more of it and started to appreciate the rules and tactics a little bit, although I take more of an interest in the CFL simply because I have a local team to support.

    It's a good sport, and actually rattles along at a good pace as long as they're focussing on the play. It's the fucking adverts that ruin it.

    Today is big out here, and huge in the States - it's like a family holiday. People throw parties and devote the whole day to it. Watching the build up on CBS makes me sad for the demise of the FA Cup and the way that the Premiet League and Champions League have totally devalued that competition and what used to be the show piece occasion in the domestic sporting calendar. There's a lot to be said for building the whole season towards a big one off event like this.

    Cheering for the Broncos just for the Simpsons reference and the fairy tale end for Manning.

    Carolina has been the best team in the league all season and have to be clear favourites. If the Denver D can stop Cam Newton the way they stopped Tom Brady they have a chance but I think that the Carolina firepower will win the day in the end. I'll go 24-17 Panthers.
