#1 I'm in the Panthers corner as well (if only because NE is favored -- "ornery cuss, he is..."), but since Super Bowls are typically masterpieces of conservative football, I'm going to go with 17-14, Panthers.

#3 Bravely posted, Sir Anon :-)

The Players of "Ne" don't have a chance... Carolina says "it" all the time.

#4 By the end of the first quarter, Carolina fans will start hearing that voice in their heads - "...well, maybe next year..."

#5 Pats should win but not cover the -6.5 spread.

#9 Pats. 23-10.

Don't count Carolina out. How many teams have won when they're the underdog in the last ten years? The pressure isn't on Carolina, it's on the Pats. It's alot easier to beat expectations than to meet them when it comes to football.

#11 Pats. 23-10.
They were in Carolina's position 2 years ago. They won't take them lightly. Belechick will make sure of that.

#12 Sgt. Mom tomorrow they are playing the Superb Bowl. Which marks the calendar as 5 weeks before Pitchers and Catchers Report.

#13 Pitchers & Catchers Report? OK, I 'm marking my calendar...Thanks, Shipman. So I guess a lot of people are watching this Suburb Bowl thingie. Myself, I'll be mulching the front garden.

#14 Way to go, Sgt. Mom! I know tens of millions of people will be glued to their televisions during the game. What a great time to shop - the stores are empty!

I gave up on football when my tinnitus reached 45dB, about 10 years ago. Never knew how much enjoyment giving UP something could have associated with it. There IS life outside football, even outside the Super Bowl. I'll read the results in the paper on Monday, and then use the paper to empty the kitty litter.

#15 The line at SportsBetting.com:
Patriots -7
Over/Under 37.5

I'm pulling for the Panthers, though!

#16 Thought maybe that line would be at 6 by now.

Fitzhugh, At your service, SA! I've got my teams and give them what worthless support I can. Super Bowls are all about making the bet. Even if it's just a two dollar backslapper. You've got to make a bet to enjoy the game. And those damn "buy a square" deals don't cut it.

"Pitchers and catcher," can you believe Detroit gave all that cash to Pudge Rod. Oh boy.

This game is part of the WoT too.

#17 I think the Panthers will win, if for no other reason than to show how stupid the Saints were to trade away Jake Delhomme.
