Update: Congrats, Broncos. They beat the Patriots, 20 to 18. It's on to the Superbowl. I didn't even have to turn on my TV to know the game was over and they won -- I figured it out from the firecracker type sounds and yelling in the neighborhood that I could hear through my double-pane windows.

Go Broncos. It's almost kickoff time for the AFC Championship game between the Denver Broncos and the New England Patriots.

Here's a thread to discuss today's football games and the superbowl.

    it's Manning's year (5.00 / 2) (#6)

    Good for him; he deserves it.

    It was Von Miller and the New Orange Crush's Day...Manning tried his best to blow it, couldn't muster a measly first down to ice it at the end.  

    And it's Cam Newton and the Carolina Panther's year...I don't think Denver stands a chance in Super Bowl L.

    It'll be 7 by kickoff...everybody and their mother outside of Denver will load up on the Panthers -4.5.

    That is a line I don't know if I can pass on.

    Bettors couldn't wait to get early action on the game at the Westgate, which posted a line as the third quarter of the Cardinals-Panthers game was winding down. The initial line favored Carolina by 5 1/2 points, and was quickly bet down to 4 points.

    There must be a lot of cash coming from Denver...

    Color me surprised...sentimental money going in early?

    I still say it's gotta be 7 by kickoff...unless I watched different games Sunday.

    "Shooter's crazy?"

    Holy crap, kdog, everyone knows that. You couldn't even find a bookie who would take that bet.

    But, when you say, "I don't think Denver stands a chance in Super Bowl L," you may be forgetting that the Patriots were also the betting favorites in Denver's own home field.

    How did that turn out?

    But, you surprise me, my little floppy eared dog-buddy. When did you become a panting, run-with-the-crowd, puppy?
    -----------------------------------

    (But, seriously, now)

    don't you think I know that Payton looked like warmed-over crap before, during, and especially, after that game? And, that Cam Newton/Panthers look, just, invincible? But, I also, know I've lost a ton of money in my life betting on sure-thing-can't lose-it's a lock!! contests.

    Like they say, "that's why they play the game."

    Oh, BTW, to prove your point, I was really, really crazy when I put a C-Note down on Joe Namath & the Jets in Super Bowl 3.

    How's that for being nuts?

    I know you know you're crazy, just like I know you know I'm crazy...it's the crazies that don't know they're crazy that scare me;)

    And you do know my underdog m.o...but this year Manning (& Brady) fatigue trumps the love for the underdog.  Panthers in a romp, you heard it here first!
