Well this went exactly as I expected: Peyton looking dreadful and the defense carrying him. Just as it has all season. That's why I was pulling for Denver, a defense that epic deserves to win. Miller, Ware and the secondary owned it. The whole D though, great effort. Of course glad to see Peyton go out on top. 

Guess this makes up for all the mediocre to bad teams he had to carry. Football justice!

Congrats to the 2015 Denver Broncos!!

The Panthers coaching staff wanted Cam Newton to refrain from running so much. In doing so, they removed one of their biggest weapons from play. It was, "It's 1st and 10? Let's have Jonathan Stewart run it up the middle."

Really bad offensive coordinating in this one.  What were they saving Cam Newton for? Next Sunday?

This really looks like Peyton Manning's last game. Man, those dying quail passes are killing me.

This is good!!!! Denver D is outstanding.....Carolina O is struggling, but really both O are struggling. Has any team won a SB without scoring an offensive TD?

Cam has to take control, be a team leader and take this game......Denver has to keep doing what they are doing on D.

^Seems to me Carolina faced the Seattle defense and did just fine.

Carolina has to face a defense like no other in the NFL.

I know Panthers are favorites, but it's not an impossible task to win the Panthers

They get out of gas in the second half, if Broncos control them...Anything can happen.

Tbh, I expect Carolina to win in a landslide victory. They tore apart Arizona, who in my mind was the next best team in the NFL, and I thought could even beat Carolina.

The only thing Denver has going for them is two weeks to prepare, and heal their team up if they can. I think Denver will benefit more from this break more than Carolina, but it won't be enough.

I can't see Denver even making a game of this.  Manning got spanked by the Seahawks in the Super Bowl two years ago, and was lackluster in the playoffs against the Colts last year in what should have been a revenge performance.  He's older, slower and more banged up now than he was in either of those games and has the highest interception ratio of his career this year.  Despite one decent run on a broken play last week he really can't move well in the backfield anymore and Carolina has shown they can contain more mobile QBs than him all year. 
 
Denver has a banged-up secondary and their offense has had a tendency to give up the ball (and Carolina is +8 in turnovers for the season).  Carolina 27, Denver 13 sounds about right.

^ Very good points as always........I agree that Carolina D could be suspect, but the Denver O line may not be able to hold ground. If I were Carolina D coach, I might push Manning to his off hand side and see what he can do, in other words do not let him sit in the pocket, flush him out, overload the D line to one side.

The Carolina secondary needs a couple turnovers, but I have a sneaky suspicion they will be just fine and cover well. Manning will have to live in the 8-15 yard range, not sure he will pop for anything longer, don't think he will have time to allow that type of play to develop. If they can get a run game going, they have a chance.

For now still holding my 31-17 score.

Pretty neutral. Pulling for Denver because I love that defense, and it'd be nice to see Peyton go out on top bt honestly I care less than I used to. 
If they do win I believe I read somewhere he'd be the SB winning QB with the worst season ever LOL  Basically has been dragged along, and should be thankful Osweiler was totally inexperienced, with a little better performance (hey kid was being thrown into the deep end) Peyton may never have seen the field again. 


If it's Carolina, well would be cool for them to get their first and I like Cam. He had the potential, but really did develop and he truly has had an MVP like season. Peyton has Thomas, Sanders and an elite defense. Palmer had everything (and blew it stillAngry) Cam has Greg Olsen and.....well Im not sure. 


I thought Carolina's defense would be their undoing. I still think they got secondary problems but the pass rush was enough to take control anyway. That Denver o line hasnt been exactly A game material and Peyton is back there....the only QB who does worse under pressure than Brady. I think this game could be very even and defensive.

^ Agree.....if Carolina hiccups on offense with fumbles or int, then Denver has a clear chance to steal this one.

I think the biggest match up to watch is Carolina's d-line vs Denver's o-line. Carolina's secondary is easily the weakest part of their defense and if given time to throw Manning can still move the chains (albeit not for as many yards as he used to). That's a big if, obviously, but if he can get the time the game should remain close for the majority of the contest.

That said, it's Carolinas to lose.

Denver must score first and keep Carolina from doing what they've done the past few weeks - score early and often, then coast.  Cam is a freak athlete, but if Denver keeps up the pressure and somehow contain him, then there's a chance.  Otherwise, it could get ugly early.  Denver has to score or set up a score at least once on defense as their offense won't put up more than 21. I'll call the upset:
 
          Denver 24
         Carolina 21
 
 
I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....

I would say that matters because Denver's not really in the position to play catch up from far behind.

Who cares....they scored enough to win 17 games so far.

Probably Denver cares.

It certainly has Denver quarterback Peyton Manning's attention.

''As you watch the game unfold, you see the scoreboard and it's just 7-0, it's 14-0,'' Manning said. ''It's like the guy singing the National Anthem is still on the field, you know, the game hasn't started yet.
