No one gives Carolina any dap, but I think they can win, they've already slayed three hype machines (Tampa, St. Louis, Philly) this season, why not a fourth? LOL.
Fair point. But here's why Carolina WON'T win Super Bowl XXXVIII:
The Patriots aren't a "hype machine". Name TWO superstars on that team and you'll be our lucky winner. They play as a team, much as the Panthers do.
The Patriots know what it's like to come into a Super Bowl as an underdog, and they saw first hand what happens when a team gets too cocky as the Rams did two years ago. They're not going to make the Rams' mistake.
NO ONE, and I mean NO ONE has been able to run on the Patriots this season. Is Del Homme good enough to win if the Panthers can run the football and he only has to throw 14 times? Yes. Is Del Homme good enough to win when he has to throw 25 times? No. He's used to being able to just take the incomplete passes, and tee it up another time. On 3rd and 8--because the Pats have such a good run defense--he's not going to have that option.
Patriots by two touchdowns.
