Carolina doused Rivera with gatorade after the NFC game. You don't get a gatorade bath until you win the super bowl. Denver's defense is going to step up and keep it close enough for Peyton to go out on top.
Panthers. Both Defenses are good, but man does Denver's offense look terrible.

The Broncos have scored 30 or more points two times this season. They scored 30 and 31 in wins. The Panthers are AVERAGING 32 points this season. (The Broncos averaged 22).
Here's a stat that worries me: The Broncos' opponents averaged one point less than the Panthers' this season (18 to 19). The Panthers' offense had to go out there guns a'blazing to win.
I'm still going with the Panthers. I will shed no tears if Peyton wins. All I want is a more competitive game than the last time Denver was there.

Got my +6 at a casino in Reno on Thursday night but I won't need those points. Broncos don't lose in the first 8 seconds this time, they win it instead....by less than 3 points
I'd like to see my boy Peyton, who turned Indy into a Football Town, win one more and go out on top. But the Panthers have been my second-favorite team ever since they were formed. So it's a tough call. I guess I'm just looking forward to seeing a good game.

Carolina should win easily on paper, yet Denver has made it this far due to an uncanny ability (or dumb luck) in close games. I'm torn between dislikes here, as seeing fake humble Peyton Manning or the legitimately hateable Jerry Richardson hoist a trophy would be equally gross.
But, I'll just pick the Panthers since they seem like the much better team. Part of me thinks this will be a Super Bowl 48-esque blowout but since the Broncos can keep it close, I'll say Carolina only wins by 10 points.
George Michael weighed his options. Maeby had chastised him for not taking risks, and what would be a bigger risk than perpetuating a lie about software just to ignite the passions of a woman? Of course it would be a lie, and since Maeby wouldn't know it was a lie, he wouldn't appear to be taking a risk. Perhaps the bigger risk was to tell his father he was lying, that he came up with it because he wanted his father to leave so he could enjoy what remained of his senior year. After all, he wondered, wouldn't that be the course of action taken by an overtly sexual man, a man who owns a pair of matador pants? He had not responded now for 41 seconds according to his unfailing internal clock, and it was time to come clean.

I am cheering for Eli's brother, so Doug will enjoy the Super Bowl.
I wish for Peyton but assume the Panthers will win. But then I figured the Pats would kill Denver dead and was wrong.
We'll be back right after order has been restored here in the Omni Center.

All in all, I'm still glad we've got tickets to the game, but this was my least favorite scenario.
So that's the reason for the freelance work. :-)
Denver by 15. I'm weary of how easy this looks for Carolina.
I'm fine with either team but my feeling is that it will be Carolina pulling away late. Newton is just unstoppable this year and I doubt Denver's D will be enough to keep the Panthers from winning their first championship. I'm just happy I don't have to deal with Seattle or New England again this year.
