What do you think the final score of the game is going to be??? I think it will end up Patriots 21, and the Panthers 17. The patriots will destroy the panthers.

This is how I think the game will be played out...
First Half:
In the first half the Patriots will score two touch downs with succesful fieldgoals for the extra pionts...
The Panthers will Score one touchdown with a succesful extra piont...
As well as a field goal for three pionts...
Half Time Score: Patriots 14, Panthers 10
Second Half:
In the second half the Patriots will score one more touchdown with a suxxesful field goal for the extra piont...
As well as the Panthers scoring one more touchdown with a succesful field goal for the extra piont...
Final Score: Patriots 21, Panthers 17. Go Patriots!!!

Well the big event is taking place right down the street from me. The Patriots, and the other ones (Forgot who else is playing, sorry!!!) arrived safely in H town last night. Things will be CRAZY here. I'm glad I live so close to home and don't have to deal with the extra traffic. Hotels have all been boooked for ages. Lots of people are even renting out their own homes or rooms in their homes. Tons of events will be going on. Partiesevery night.... hey maybe the teams will stop by my theatre for a nice play!!

I think the Patriots will win, but that is because they have won a ton of games so far I gather. Also T would kill me if I voted otherwise...

| Quote: | Super Bowl Set to Be Defensive Struggle
By BOB BAUM, AP
AP
Coaches Fox, left, and Belichick shake hands Monday
HOUSTON (Jan. 27) - Two teams built on dominating defense not awesome offense, rosters bereft of big names, coaches with a public persona as dry as the Texas sand.
On the surface, the Carolina Panthers against New England Patriots seems a super bore of a Super Bowl. But, as any NFL linebacker will tell you, a bone-jarring defensive struggle has a certain beauty of its own.
"I don't think it's going to be boring, I think it's going to be a damn good game," New England linebacker Ted Johnson said. "It's two teams that have very strong wills, have a lot of confidence in what they do. It's going to be a war of wills, and I think that makes for a pretty exciting game."
The Panthers' defense is simple power, featuring a front four that applies severe pressure without the help of a blitz, backed by solid linebackers and an ever-improving secondary.
The Patriots are more complicated, adjusting under coach Bill Belichick's tutelage to take advantage of the perceived weakness of an offense.
"At the end of the day, I think we both play well," Carolina coach John Fox said, "not just against yards, but in allowing points. They are two different styles, but the end results are the same."
The Panthers blend their strong defense with a ball-control offense, featuring the running of Stephen Davis and DeShaun Foster. It's no "Greatest Show on Turf," but it works.
"We know our defense is going to take care of their job, and hopefully we'll do what we've done all year long," Carolina guard Kevin Donnalley said, "keep it close and find a way to win in the end."
Seven of the Panthers' 14 victories were by three points or less. Four of their wins were in overtime. They were seven-point underdogs against New England, but they were supposed to lose in the second round in St. Louis, and in the NFC championship game in Philadelphia, too.
Maybe most NFL fans would rather see the Rams, Packers or Eagles in Houston, but the Panthers made their case on the field. They are the ultimate no-name playoff team, with a quarterback - Jake Delhomme - who wasn't even drafted.
"We've been dealing with this all through the playoffs," Fox said. "The perception on the outside is something I can't change. The perception on the inside is that we believe we belong, and we'll give it our best shot."
Oddsmakers often are wrong in the Super Bowl.
Last year, Oakland was a 3 1/2-point choice and was routed 48-21 by Tampa Bay. Two years ago, New England came into the big game a 14-point underdog to St. Louis and not only covered, but won 20-17 on Adam Vinatieri's last-second field goal.
Since the 1996 Super Bowl, only two favorites have covered - Denver in 1999 and Baltimore in 2001.
The Patriots, after winning as an underdog two years ago, aren't going to get carried away with being favored.
"We know this is going to be our toughest game of the year and that's what we're preparing for," Belichick said. "If we don't play that way, I'm sure we'll have plenty of problems."
Belichick has had two weeks to prepare a defensive game plan to counter Carolina's grind-it-out style. His reputation as a defensive mastermind is a big reason New England is such a big favorite.
New England has the closest thing to a superstar in Tom Brady, who won this game in his second pro season two years ago.
"In my opinion, he's probably the best quarterback we're going to face all year," Carolina linebacker Dan Morgan said. "We've faced some good ones, but he's so precise at what he does. We just need to play a smart game because we know he's going to play a smart game, too."
Delhomme has studied Brady's style.
"Watching him two years ago, his second year in the league, it didn't bother him," Delhomme said. "The game wasn't too big for him. That's the one thing I tried to take from him. He's a winner. I tried to do that this year with this team."
To finish as a winner, Delhomme must succeed against a Patriots' defense that led the league in fewest points allowed (14.9), shut out three opponents and allowed just one touchdown in its last six home games. Quarterbacks threw 11 touchdowns against New England, and were intercepted by the Patriots 29 times.
"I really don't care if it's 3-0," Patriots defensive lineman Richard Seymour said. "If we get another ring on our fingers, that's the only thing that matters."

I certainly hope it's not 3-0, NE of course, . But, as Seymour said, a win is a win,
