North Carolina Steeler fan here...I guess I will go with Carolina..who you guys rooting for?
or you just watching for the commercials?

Steelers are 8-1 to win Superbowl 51.......

Go Steelers

I'm cheering for overtime; it's a long time from the end of this game to the next game that means something. I'll also be rooting for scores that will win me money in any of the pools that I am in.

Not actively rooting for (or against) either team. I'll watch with an interest level slightly above indifference. And like Pap, hope that I win some cash with pools I'm in.

Too bad there's not a way they can both lose...

I live in Charlotte. I will definitely be watching.

I'm a big Cam fan and really enjoy watching this team play football. They pretty much built their franchise to be like the Steelers and they run the ball, play hard hitting defense and did a great job building the team through the draft. This Panther team has won 22 of its past 24 games. I don't think people realize how good this team has been lately and they did it without their #1 WR. Really looking forward to seeing Cam and co. vs this Denver defense.

I'm hoping we follow their blueprint moving forward and switch to a 4-3 and let the DL cause havoc.

I wonder where that guy Dee Dub is these days? He always joked me for saying Cam was the future of the NFL.

That's what I was hoping for in the Harbowl...San Fran vs. Baltimore a few years ago. I had a definite rooting interest against the Boston Cheetahs last year, but this year it doesn't really matter either way. I guess I'll follow Pap and Ghost's lead and hope for scores for Carolina that end in 7 and Denver ending in 2.

I'm rooting for the Broncos just because the Steelers beat them and if they win I can spin it so it sounds like the Steelers were actually the best team in this past season.

They pretty much built their franchise to be like the OLD Steelers and they run the ball, play hard hitting defense and did a great job building the team through the draft.

now i agree

I think we are headed in the right direction with guys like Heyward, Dupree, Tuitt and Shazier.

A few years ago fans claimed we couldn't hit or be physical because Goodell was out to get us. However, I watched this Carolina D punishing opponents so I knew it wasn't true. I think we may have lost focus and tried to get too cute in Lebeaus last few years and held onto guys who were too old and have the wrong players money on D. I think we learned from those mistakes and will have a pretty good draft with players who can contribute earlier.

One thing I appreciate about watching Kuechly and Thomas Davis play is how they tackle. Its form tackling, proper technique and they are driving through players.

Don't get me wrong, I have seen this Steeler team with Bell run down Carolina's throat. They are an aggressive bunch and if you make 2 guys miss you can run to daylight but most teams don't have a Bell who can cut on a dime.

Not rooting for any, but if I were in Vegas this weekend, I would bet DEN and feel pretty good about the pick. CAR is clearly the better team--how are you going to go against a team that's 23-1 or something ridiculous over this span. But I don't think the better team always wins. I also think the Panthers are a young team that won't play with quite the urgency of a more veteran team like DEN. In the end, I just think it is Peyton Manning's time to shine (even if he doesn't play particularly well; that would be the narrative).

I'm split. I'm a Cam fan, but I also like the idea of having a stat that 8 of the last 15 SBs were won by only three AFC QBs (and that together they appeared in 13)..

I expect that Cam and Wilson will have a similar period of dominance next.

[squidkid]

i think its carolina by at least 13

[LordVile]

I'm going for Carolina since I got no issues with their team. Would rather have a ringless team get one then Manning and the Donkeez. im sick of hearing ppl speak of Manning being "GOAT" etc. He is a bum in the playoffs and a choker. Just look at him against the Seahawks.. I got alot of Donkey friends but we wont hear the end of it if Manning gets another ring.

c'mon pussycats!!

[Ghost]

Loved the 49 MVPs they did beforehand. Hines came out waiving the Terrible Towel - Sweet!! And S Holmes was all decked out in black and gold.

[RobinCole]

The "GOAT" designation is a matter of opinion. I could make a good case for Sammy Baugh. I could also make a good case for Peyton. I think the word "choker" is way overused. Manning has been in dozens of pressure games. I doubt he was over-awed, scared or abnormally nervous in previous Super Bowls. Who here thinks some other QB could have beaten Seattle two years ago? In 2005 he was behind 21-3 and would have tied us if not for the idiot kicker. He just ran into better teams that had exceptional games. Looks like Denver has the momo today. Let's see who "chokes".
