Key Matchups:

• Denver Rushing Attack vs Carolina 4-3 Front

The DEN rushing attack has taken on a more important role as Manning's arm has become less effective. The strength of the Carolina defense are the two defensive tackles and middle linebacker controlling the A gaps. (chart from PFF)

• Carolina Rushing Attack vs Denver 3-4 Front

DEN's defense held opponents to a league low 3.3 yards/carry. With Cam Newton being a big part of the rushing attack, DEN's #1 rush defense faces a unique challenge - the zone read. According to ESPN Stats & Info, Wade Phillips' defenses in Houston faced just 26 zone-read attempts in his three combined seasons as defensive coordinator from 2011 to 2013. This year's Broncos followed up by facing just 14 zone-read attempts this season, most of which came against the Chiefs.
Week 2 @KC: 147 yards given up; 5.2 ypc
Week 10 vsKC: 106 yards given up: 3.3 ypc

The thank god Seattle isn't playing today dance.

Going 2 b a good game. . . hopefully

Time for Peyton to put in his retirement papers.

I sure hope this isn't a half time switch off experience.

Yeah, this should be it for him.

Hope Cam kills it.

Looking at those defensive rosters makes me jealous. They're both stacked, especially their front seven.

Looks like a gorgeous day in the Bay Area.

From all reports the event has been a hit.

Is there a game today? I didn't know the niners were playing?


I watched all 5 SuperBowls this week!



Umm....Go Panthers, 38-13

I cannot imagine the Broncos actually winning this one. Peyton is going to throw a minimum of 2 picks. 27-17 Carolina wins.

Here's to hoping mannings giant head actually gets knocked off by Luke keuchly, setting a new super bowl record for fastest kill.
