I am a fan of this Denver defense but they are not an all-time elite defense in my opinion. What Denver did to NE's offense did not surprise me. The Bills, Jets and Dolphins all caused Brady fits during the second half of the season. Remember how the Bills completely rattled him and Dolphins too? Point is that Denver's defense is real good, but I would not base my opinion of them solely off the Pats and Steelers home playoff games. The Steelers were decimated with injuries and Pats o-line was blown up by Bills and Fins too. I look at this Super Bowl as a race to 20 pts. I think Carolina can get there, but Denver cannot. Carolina's defense is being completely overlooked so far as well They have an excellent defense. I think the line is inflated, too high, and that the game will be relatively close, but Panthers win this game in my opinion, may not cover 6 or 7, but do win. I also like the under.
