ummm...I really don't know. I guess I'll cheer for NE just because I feel like it. I don't really follow much football other than the Packers, and I was really hoping that the Packers would make it (I know it was a long shot, but one can hope, right...he he he)...so the Packers beat NE in the superbowl when I was in the 5th grade, so I want to be fair have them win this time (he he he). I am usually not a sports fan, but since I live in Green Bay I HAVE to support the Green Bay Packers...he he he

uhhhh, i live in charlotte (home of the panthers) and uh, yeah, they are going to win, they are in no way bad Hermione Weasly, stephen davis (running back) can run over and through anybody, and the we got an awsome backup in Deshawn foster (running back), did u see his touchdown against the eagles, he started at the one, got dropped all the way to the 5, broke 6 count them SIX tackles, and STILL got the touchdown. Then there is steve smith (wide reciever) who is crazy fast and just a straight up playmaker, mushin muhammed (wide reciever) who is incredibly clutch, and jake delhomme (quarterback) who just kills with his recievers when he needs to and is also so clutch it is unbelieveable, then there is the defense, who kicks butt by the way, ricky manning junior (corner back) - 3 interceptions sunday (yeah Ty Law did it to, so i gotta give him his props) but still that is sick, dan morgan (middle line backer) is huge, 12 tackles and an inteception on sunday, that is beast. mike minter (saftey) is also huge. AND THEN THERE IS THE D-LINE, HOW FREAKIN NASTY ARE THEY, OH MY GOD, THEY STRAIGHT KILL QB'S AND RUNNING BACKS
and yeah, i know everyone is going to pick the patriots, but uh, didn't everyone pick the rams over us and they lost, didn't they also pick the eagles over us, who, if you didn't know also lost. and those two games were both on the road, the superbowl is at neutral ground, no home field advantage, sorry snowlovers, it's in houghston, which actually favors the panthers, so, yeah, the game is over, panthers win

Only thing I know about Superball is that players run around with a football wearing motorbike helmets and body armour. :grin:

First of all, the Pats will win. Thats already been decided, now, the question is: By how much?
First of all, it is a physical impossibility for anyone(that includes stephen davis & Deshawn Foster) to run over or through Ted Washington. Then we've got Bruschi, who, believe me, will be back for the Superbowl, so if the running game gets fed up with negative yardage and tries going the other way, bang- Bruschi forces the fumble!
Now, steve smith and mushin muhammad can be as clutch as they want---they could be randy moss and terrell owens for all it matters, there is no way past Ty Law, Rodney Harrison or Eugene Wilson. A combined 5 interceptions in the last two games, OH WAIT !!!!! those games were against the two AFC MVPs !!!
jake del-WHO? He doesn't have a chance, there's no hope.
Props to the Carolina D for their run stopping, but anyone can stop our running game, so big deal.
We have Tom Brady, there you go, game over-- we win. He'll make the plays when we need them... AND when we don't. He will pound it down Carolina's throat, they won't know what hit them. He'll hit David Givens, Bethel Johnson, Troy Brown, Deion Branch or Christian Fauria, whenever he wants, wherever he wants.
Who knows? We may choke and only win by 14, and that's only if our defense doesn't score a few.
I do see a very good Panthers team a little further down the road, but right now, the Pats have it sealed.
Sorry, I get worked up over the Pats, Sox and C's. I don't think I can control myself.

well, uh, so the pats are going to use 5 wide recievers alot, thats cool, means less blockers, hell, the eagles had 7 blockers all the time, and the panthers still sacked mcnabb 4 times in the FIRST HALF, and wait, havn't we also had quite a few inteceptions as well, and ya'll aint going to be able to thrive like he has outside of the cold, where no one they've played in the postseason is used to playing, and its on turf, and you just don't understand the power of our rushing game, and it sets up the crazy play action passes on a 15 yard hook to steve smith that turn into 50 yard gains because he is so damn fast and thats all i have to say

and if you really wanna talk about the red sox, oh please, i'm a yankees fan, lets not get into this, all i have to say is THE CURSE OF THE BAMBINO

ok so we aren't comparing statistics we are just stating how we think will win.They both made it to the superbowl so obviously they are both decent they both have as good of chance at winning as there opponent so can we stop arguing about the stats?

ding ding ding we have a winner!

tom brady is the freaking definition of clutch! and if memory serves me right, the former u of michigan star led the patriots to a super bowl win against the st. louis rams, the "greatest show on turf", on turf!

but i shouldn't be trash talkin too much, b/c my lions are sittin at home waitin til draft day to pick their next superstar! but in a few years, watch out, harrington, rogers, and this year's first rounder are gonna be super bowl-ready!

right, and the panthers beat the greatest show on turf, in arguably the hardest turf stadium to play in, the rams had won 14 straight there too. And wait, havn't the patriots won 14 straight (not a home) in a row too? sounds like fate to me

And the Red Sox will break the curse before the lions win a superbowl, you can't completely turn a team around with one draft pick
