That was the most boring NFC championship game ever. Especially when compared to the last two.

I'm rooting for Denver. A Superbowl win would be a great way for Peyton to go out.
 
Carolina is just the class of the league. I would like to see a good game, but I have a feeling this will be a mid-1980s Super Bowl all over again with the NFC just rolling over the AFC team
 
With the exception of taking the Packers banner down at that game, I absolutely love Cam Newton's showboating style. He adds some real fun and excitement to the game. I'm rooting for them in the Superbowl and betting they'll win.

He did that to a 12th man flag too, I lost a lot of respect for him after that. It's just poor sportsmanship.
I really hope Denver wins, Cam is really really cocky, losing the SB would be devastating to him
 
I have no problem with Cam Newton or the Panthers, but I'd really like the Broncos to win. I'd love to see Peyton Manning pull a John Elway and go out on top by retiring as a Super Bowl champion.
 
Cam Newton's an insane quarterback. He's built like a linebacker and can rush the ball as well as he can pass it. It's one of those situation where I have a pretty big feeling the Panthers are going to win, but I'm hoping for the Broncos so Manning can retire after one last super bowl win.
 
It's the biggest age difference between two quarterbacks in Super Bowl history, also this win for Manning would make him the winningest (I think that's how they put it) quarterback in the history of the league, beating Brett Favre. I also think this is the second time the Panthers have made it to the Super Bowl. Those are just the ones off the top of my head.
 
I would like to see Denver win ... but I see the Panthers just smoking them.

Only way I can see Denver hanging in is to score early, have some long drives, force some turnovers, and not turn the ball over themselves. Even if they do all that, I could see them losing in a close game.

If the Panthers get up by a few scores and force Denver into comeback mode, their D will have a field day and it will get out of hand really quick.

The Panthers just have a lot more margin for error than Denver does
 
I like Denver too but Panthers is a young and interesting team who went 14-0 in the regular season. Last time they went to the Superbowl they lost by a field goal to the Patriots I'd like them to finally win their first.
 
Here's how I choose:

- Carolina: I've been to North Carolina. It's hot and sticky. I don't like it very much.
- Denver: I have lived in Salt Lake City, and that's not far from Denver. I like mountains. Denver people seem pretty cool. Also, Denver winning would make for an uplifting plot, re: Manning, so, let's go Denver!
 
Wait, are the Panthers close to a perfect season?

Edit: They are not, I see now.

I suppose I will cheer for Denver. They seem to be the underdogs.
