Official Superbowl Poll.. Who is going to win?

If I were I betting man, I would take the Panthers and the points (Pats -7)...
But straight up? You would have to go with the Pats. I think if Brady can play without making any huge mistakes (i.e. throwing a pick 6), then the Pats are going to win.

The Pats. I haven't seen a team that has been able to counter the NE machine when it's working correctly. I do mean machine. They basically run the same system every game, despite what everyone says about Belichick's blitz schemes:
First, they shut down the single biggest element of the opponent's offense, be it a running back, a wide reciever, or a scrambling quarterback. Then the defense lets the opponent get the short 3-4 yard plays, but closely guards the deeper play. Inevitably (without fail, really) the opponent thinks they can get something bigger. That leads to either a drive ending incompletion or an interception. If you look at the stats, every game in the 14-game win streak has had at least one pick for the Pats.
The Pats offense is the perfect match, never relying on one player, simply going for the short plays, and not making mistakes.
Is it possible to beat this system? Sure. But the Panthers won't, as they have a tendancy to throw the ball up for big plays with relative frequency.
My pick: Pats 20, Cats 10

I'd love Carolina to win but I guess the Patriots probably have the upper edge.
I voted Patriots but a Panther win would be really cool.
This is going to be a long superbowl evening.. kickoff is around midnight local time, at least I got Monday off

what if it is discovered the team with most points cheated and was discovered after the fact? might have to take away the win from the team with most points... but that is a very unlikely senario I would say.
Unless the dome breaks and gets stuck open and Houston is struck with a freak cold snap and snow storm, the Patriots' chances of winning are greatly reduced. People just aren't giving the Panthers enough credit and I hope they win for this. Besides, it's nice to share and it's boring to see re-runs so that's 2 against why you'd want the Pats to win.
