Cam Newton won't sit in the pocket like Brady, so the Denver D may not look quite as stout. That being said, if the Pats kick an extra point....or a field goal on 4th down with 6 minutes left, even Brady having a bad day likely moves on to the SB. I think this is Carolina's year...and I think they'll cover.
Unfortunately I think Carolina will take it.
If Cam has the fun he had on Sunday Night, it is going to be a blow out game. Peyton is past his prime and I just don't think he is capable of pulling a win off against a team like Carolina.
Carolina played Arizona like a dog plays with a stuffed toy.

Long term forecast indicates a good possibility of rain for the Super Bowl - Levi's is not domed. To me, that raises the odds of a free for all if that comes to pass. Either way, I'd go with Carolina.

Let's hope... I like inclement weather for bowl games.

I think Carolina will win but I think it's going to be closer than most people think. They blew out Arizona but I attribute a lot of that to Carson Palmer playing like garbage.
When it comes down to it I think Carolina's defense will actually win the game. With the Panthers on offense I think it will be a close matchup, but I don't think the Broncos offense is going to be able to put up enough points.

It does make it interesting if there's enough wet stuff to throw Vegas odds out the window. They've fixed the turf at Levi's which was a big issue last year so things should be OK if it does rain. I live in the SF Bay Area and it's rained more in the last month or so than it has in the previous two years, so I'm expecting rain at this point.

Panthers. BIG win 45-17. Peyton gets hurt...will not be back next year...officially retires!
America's Team.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Super Bowl Champion Carolina Panthers!
I felt Seattle was their biggest hurdle in the playoffs. I think the Broncos would have a better chance starting Brock Osweiler.
Also, I thought long term weather forecast only went 10 days ahead. The game is 12 days away.

The only team that can beat CAR is themselves by letting up on the throttle when they get big leads...unfortunately for DEN, I don't think they have enough offensive firepower to come back from a big deficit even if CAR does let up...I think CAR wins this in a blowout...

Nope. There's such a thing as long term forecasts. The latest 14 day from the National Weather Service has February 7th as cloudy with possible rain. They also have the following Monday 2/8 as sunny...so obviously with this long to go, it may change.
There's a lot of Super Bowl weather coverage in the Bay Area and there's even the stat that in normal years it's rained on that day something like 65 percent of the time. Being that it's an El Nino year and the NWS says there's a 33 percent greater chance of rain than normal for the period that includes 2/7, there's a good chance it might be raining.
I still don't know why they just don't play every Super Bowl in a domed stadium.
