Super Bowl 50

I think it's going to be low-scoring nut-buster, 17-14'ish, 21-17'ish ... great defenses.

I've grown to like Cam and at the same time it would be nice for Peyton to get that 2nd ring.

I read somewhere this is Manning's 4th Super Bowl with a 4th different head coach. Weird.

If no one gets suspended or hurt on either side, I'm going Carolina 17-14.

Carolina has played all the top five defenses save Denver and the Jets. They played Seattle twice. They put up 24+ every time. Should we expect them to do much less against Denver?

Should also get some Voice of God action going ...

Team wearing white has won 31 of 49 SBs, including 10 of the past 11.

Broncos, as home team, chose to wear white. Peyton is 1-0 in white in SB and 0-2 in dark.

All that being said . . . Broncos are gonna get killed. Maybe not 43-8 killed. But killed.

I kind of feel this way too, but a lot of teams that I've thought would get killed, don't. Seems like a great defense and a so-so offense keeps a team in games as opposed to the other way around.

So, basically, whatever, and the only money I'm willing to put down is on square pools.

Manning to Belichick: "Hey listen, this might be my last rodeo, so it sure has been a pleasure."

Peyton to Belichick: 'This might be my last rodeo'

34-16 Panthers. Game over by Halftime, but people watch to see if Peyton is benched.

As I said during the championship round, the Broncos just haven't played in lopsided games one way or the other this year. The Panthers rightfully should be favored and even expected to win, but got to think this is going to be close just like all the others with the Broncos. The wildcard is the turnovers. The Panthers force them and until the last month or so the Broncos didn't mind giving them up. If the Broncos turn it over is the only way it gets ugly.

I do see a pick-6 in Peyton's future.

“I tried to lay on him a few times,” said one Broncos rusher after the game. “I tried to rub my nuts on his face.”

I'd say we deserve to know who said that, but this article is from the hack who agreed not to write about Cris Carter's "fall guy" monologue, so I know we won't get anywhere.

Might want to check out that Nov. 15 game against the Chiefs.

The Panthers were the best team in the league all season and that 17-1 record counts for a lot. But last week wasn't so long ago, and the general dismissal of the Broncos is EXACTLY the same **** we heard before the AFC Championship Game. My God, here in Boston, the general assumptions are 1. Panthers win 77-0 and 2. Patriots return to the Super Bowl next year because they'll make sure to have home field advantage in the playoffs. It's something to see, arrogance after a loss.

**** this thread title.

It's Super Bowl L.

Right. Their only loss by more than one score and it was in large part due to Manning throwing four interceptions in the first half. My point stands, this team does nothing but play close games. They also seem to step up against the top teams they play. I think this game is the same as the others. The wildcard is obviously turnovers.

This is a horrible matchup for Denver. Carolina's defense is fast and will be all over Manning's throws. Newton is just so damn talented that you really can only hope he ****s up on his own. Newton might run for 100 yards.

Carolina will lead at some point by more than 20 points but win by 10 after a couple late Denver scores.
