Tough call, but I think the Panthers can do it. The Pats can shut down the pass, but I dont know if they can stop the run against Carolina. It could go either way though.

I hope the Panthers win. There is a annoying Patriots Fan at my work who thinks that the Patriots walk on water. For example, he told me that the Patriots were nuts to get rid of Lawyer Milloy, but now after they made it to the Superbowl, that Lawyer Milloy is just an average player. He really pisses me off. Go Panthers.

Everyone's cheering for the panthers because they're the underdog, but this is not even going to be a contest

The Patriots are going to make the Panthers sorry that they made it to the big show, and they will be feeling it for weeks afterwards.

I havent seen a harder hitting defense than the Patriots in my lifetime.

Panthers will win. I hope. :D.

I'll have to go with NE by 7.

The Patriots should win it but the Panthers have been surprising people all year. I think the Panthers will surprise everyone one more time.

Yes, a lot of us are. I know I am (Im also from Charlotte, so... :D). Im not sure about the rest of your post though. That team wants it, more I think that anyone else out there. To come from years of *horrible* teams, scandals, and everything else they have had thrown at them, to take a rag-tag group of guys and go this far, I think they can do it. We shall see, though. Either way, its great that they made it this far.

I like the Pats in this one, in a very low scoring affair.

Did anyone see that thing on Sportscenter a few days ago comparing this year's Panthers to the 2001 Patriots and this year's Patriots to the 2001 Rams? It was a little eerie. Anyway, it pointed to a Panther victory. I hate the Patriots, so i'm willing to believe it. Go Panthers.

GO PANTHERS!!! If for no other reason than the fact that I haven't like any team since the Titans got beaten (by the Patriots, too...damn them), I gotta root for Carolina here.

In all likelyhood though, it would surprise me none if the Patriots took over in this game.

this is going to be a good one.
I feel that the Patriots may win but Panthers will continue to give surprises. I guess this is a must see.

I'm putting 50 on the winner :)

final score will be
pats: 35
panthers: 26

and that is final

I feel I need to bump this, since the game is tomorrow. :D.

I think the panthers will win this one unless they let the pats get 14+ points ahead early. If they can keep the pats from making big passing plays they will wear them out. Brady will also take a beating like he hasn't seen. Everyone talks about how good the Pats D is, but I think the Panthers are better.

new england and it's gonna be a low scoring game. probably low ratings too, though that's just my hunch

Today's the big game.

It's going to be an amazing game either way.

Hoho, 2 missed kicks. Thank you, Adam.

did anyone see janet jackson's tit pop out? eww

32-29 Patriots.

That kickoff out of bounds killed the Panthers.

yah your right, that kick off was horrible, oh well

ps why didnt they lateral it? that guy just stood there and got tackled -- not nearly as entertaining as numerous laterals

They didn't have the right formation?

I would've taken a knee, and just hail married it, I think you have better odds with a hail mary.

What a game.
Gutted for Carolina though, I thought they were the better side in the second half.

Eww? that whas the only part worth seein for that half-time show

Ha ! voted after the super bowl.

No, a Hail Mary will only get you maybe 60 yards. You have to get the pass into the end zone for that to work; otherwise, the defence will be there to tackle you if you catch it. Rod Smart is supposed to be a hotshot kickoff returner, that truly was their best option. Too bad Smart couldn't put anything together all night.

I hope the pats keep their winning streak going all through next season
