It's on Fox Sports and ESPN and probably SBS, so I can watch the same game on three different channels.

I've been fortunate enough to have a RDO tomorrow so it's warm the set and cool the tinnies at my place. The Pats are deserved favourites after their efforts so far this season and I think they will either win by plenty or lose by bugger all. I give the Panthers a chance for the following reasons.

1-if the officials run the game like the Conference championships, the cornerbacks and safeties will get away with a lot of contact with the wide receivers. This will affect the Pats more, as a lot of their offense is based on 3 step drops and quick passes by Brady. If the Panther secondary can disrupt this, it will upset Brady's timing and open the way for the Panthers front 4 (the best in the NFL according to most experts) to go after the quarterback. The Panthers won't be affected as much, as they will predominantly run the ball and use play action in the passing game.

2-the Panther overcame a tougher path to the Super Bowl, winning their last 2 games on the road, which is a massive achievement. I think they will benefit more from playing at a neutral venue than the Pats.

I've been an AFC supporter ever since I started following the NFL, however this year I'm going for the underdog. GO PANTHERS.

What the hell....Carolina stopped New England on the 4th down with inches and they clearly didn't make it....and yet the officials gave the Patriots a 1st down!

I can't believe that decision...what is the video referee looking at, disgraceful! The Patriot will score a touchdown now [-(
