Heart says Broncos. I'd love to see Peyton get a second ring and walk away on a high note. But head says Panthers; they're the more complete team.
I'll say Panthers 27 Broncos 16. But it should be a competitive game, and if Denver can get a big play like a defensive score or a special teams TD, that might be enough to swing it. Von Miller has to have a huge game for the Broncos. He's the only guy in the front seven who can run with Newton if he scrambles out of the pocket.

Cam Newton is my non-biased favorite player in the NFL right now. Panthers keep winning and doing it easily. People seem to forget how good Carolina's defense is since they have the #1 offense.

I'm going 31-14 Panthers. Peyton (sorry Rulzzz) cries home retires, pulls a Brett Favre and joins some random *** squad next year.

I'm not sure what is happening to me. I used to loved the NFL and couldn't wait for the Super Bowl. This year, I didn't even realize it was being played today until I saw people on the news wearing Football Jerseys. I am growing tired of the NFL apparently.

I'm with ya, just don't care much about these teams. Hopefully the food and commercials are great and the beer is cold.

My interest level varies from year to year depending on the teams. If there's a team or player who I like then I at least watch. Last year I didn't even bother to check who won until Monday morning, because **** the Seahawks and the Pats. With Peyton Manning, I have at least a mild rooting interest in the game.

I have no dog in this fight, so the outcome doesn't really matter to me this year. I'd just like to see an entertaining and competitive game, not something that's 35-3 at halftime. That being said, I know who Rulzzz wants to win, so I'll be happy for him if he gets his wish. :smile:

I've been paying a little more attention this year to the activities of the past week since the game is being hosted by the 49ers, but not San Francisco, even though SF is hosting all the activities leading up to the game. It would be kinda fun to be able to go to Super Bowl City on the Embarcadero. I've been listening to some of the live interviews KNBR has been doing from 'radio row' with people from all around the NFL all week long.

Looks like it will be a near-perfect day for the game also - near 70 at kickoff and clear skies. <sigh>

Started my smoker up at 6 this morning. Cooking 30lbs of pork butt for some pulled pork sandwiches.

Hope it's a great game like last year. Seems like a lot of Super Bowls get out of hand.

Either the Panthers cap off a dream season with the MVP or Peyton can win his last game and ride off into the sunset. Both would be great.

No strong feelings about either team. Would like AJ to get a ring but also want Manning to go out on a high note.

Mostly just glad there are no Seahawks, Patriots, or Packers to be found in today's game. I've had to deal with at least one of those teams for 4 of the last 5 years.
