Karen Conklin, of Eagle, is heading to her second Super Bowl in three years with her husband, as they were at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey when the Broncos played the Seattle Seahawks. “I’m excited and can’t wait for Sunday”. Could Manning and his offense produce 24 points?

“I haven’t made my mind up, and I don’t see myself knowing about that until after the season”, he said. Although Peyton Manning is definitely not the player he used to be, he only needs to manage the game because of his great defense. However, Panthers quarterback Cam Newton breathed new life into the team and ended the regular season 15 – 1.
“It’s a dream come true and hopefully we are prepared”. Most importantly, when in doubt, listen to the game’s commentators. They may be a little mentally tired-just a little bit.
This is a defense that knocked Aaron Rodgers silly, limiting him to 77 yards in the worst game of his career, sent Andrew Luck into the hospital and ushered Tom Brady into the offseason with a 23-hit beat-down. It’s going to be worthy watching how effective he can be given the circumstances, or how well backup A.J. Klein can play if Davis can’t make it through the game. The Eagles would be in much, much better shape than they are right now if they had Newton on the team. “I don’t think Denver is going to have enough offense”.
“I think there was maybe a thousand people here when we got here”, said Panthers’ fan Jim Frary. I get that just by inquiring about some of the things they did when they were playing ball.
Denver knows how a punch to the gut can ruin great game plans.
Although Denver has won four straight and seven of nine, they are only 7-4 over their past 11 games, and a couple of those wins were real squeakers.
Even-keeled Gary Kubiak pumped up the jams at practice to prepare for noise.
“When you have adversity or obstacles you are facing for the moment because they only last for a moment, it always gets good”.
“When Kelvin went down, we had to step up, ” Funchess said. They are a magnificent team with an impressive record and likely the “future face of the NFL” at quarterback. They did it against the Chiefs in Week 2, the Patriots in Week 12 and the Bengals in Week 16. Denver has a pair of Pro Bowl cornerbacks in Aqib Talib and Chris Harris Jr. who have the potential to dominate Carolina’s hum-drum receiving corps. We’ve been there before.
If the Eagles go in a different direction – lower-priced free agent, or trade, or draft pick – then you can push the Super Bowl timetable back at least another year.

Moving ahead to the official odds and lines for the game, and the Panthers are favorites by 6 points over the Broncos. And the Panthers ground attack is one of the most diverse and sophisticated in years.
