Hey, if you wanted to start it, you should have gotten your ass out of bed earlier.

First time in a long time I don't have anyone to root for. I don't like or hate either team.

I lost a bet with Mace and gooby.

I haven't really settled on a rooting interest either, I just hope it's a great game not controlled by officiating.

First time ever I'm not interested in the game, the halftime show or the commercials at all. This is the worst pairing of teams ever.

Really? Manning's last game, will likely be brought up 100 million times to define his legacy? Cam Newton and the #1 scoring offense vs. the #1 scoring defense? Luke Kuechly and Von Miller trying to remind people that Watt isn't the only elite defender in the league? There's a lot to like about this matchup IMO.

Weather should be clear and in the 70s at kickoff

Love defense. This is a great match up.

Love defense. This is a great match up.

The Panthers torched Seattle and Arizona in the playoffs.

Seattle was ranked 2nd in overall defense, and the Cards were ranked 5th overall on defense.

But that's the NFC.

In the regular season, Carolina faced 3 good defenses. Houston, Seattle, and Tennessee.

Denver faced 6 good defenses. Baltimore, Kansas City, Minnesota, New England, Pittsburgh, and the Bengals.

I think each team's defense is a scratch.

Super Bowl L will be decided by the best offense.

Re: The Official Super Bowl 50 Gameday Thread

Well this will be anticlimactic -

I would have chosen both Seattle and Arizona over the Broncos in the Superbowl, so it's a no brainer to take the team that torched them both over the broncos. The spread started with a sucker bet Carolina by 3.5; If i was a betting man i would have taken out a mortgage on the house and put it all on Carolina. The line is only 5.5 now, which tells me a lot of people in the USA haven't actually watched either team this year. This is still the dumbest point spread in superbowl history. Carolina will curb stomp Denver. It probably will be a 20+ point lead by halftime; and we might see Brock Osweiler before the end of the game.

I don't see the Denver offense being able to keep up with the Panthers offense, #1 defense or not. Cam Newton is not Tom Brady, and the Pats still came close and should have beat Denver.
My feeling is the Panthers should kick the Broncos ass, unless the NFL gifts it to Manning as a going away prize, which wouldn't surprise me.

And what I saw was the Panthers being 5 1/2 point favorites right from the beginning.

The over/under on how long it takes Lady Gaga to sing the national anthem was sitting at around 2 minutes, 20 seconds at offshore sportsbooks.

Announcer just said, Carolina is 4-0 against top 5 defenses.

NFLN just showed a clip of Kubiak resting against a wall with his head down after pacing the hallway...looked like he was trying to not puke.

Re: The Official Super Bowl 50 Gameday Thread

I'd love to see Manning go out on top, but I don't see it happening.

I still remember how gameday felt when we were there, and I imagine how it must feel to those cities tonight.

I still love these games. Away we go !
