I think this game will go one of two ways, either Carolina will jump to an early lead and force Denver into passing every down and the result will be much like the last time Denver was in the Super Bowl. Or Denver's defense will put the clamps on Cam Newton and it will be a low scoring game won by Denver. As much as I would like to see Peyton Manning go out on top, I predict the former, Carolina by 21.
During the last super bowl run by the Ravens, Ray Lewis announced after coming back from injury that it would be his last season in the league.
Carolina has the better running game, can force turnovers and should make the Bronco offense anemic. But I, think Manning figures a way to pull off the upset.
