So the Broncos were able to squeak by the Patriots in the AFC Championship game last week. However, when they face the Panthers in the Superbowl they won’t be so lucky.

A lot of people were rooting for the Broncos last week, half for wanting Manning to make it to another Superbowl, and the other half just wanting the Patriots to lose. We get it, like 80% of all NFL fans hate the Patriots and want them to lose everything all the time. For all of those people that want Manning to win another Superbowl, sorry, it isn’t going to happen.

6 Reasons why you shouldn’t watch the Pro Bowl

If you told me the Broncos, who got steamrolled against the Seahawks 2 years ago will win this game, I’d call you crazy. The Panthers are a better team than the Seahawks were and the Broncos are a worse team than they were when they got stomped. That explosive offense is gone, they still have no running game, and Manning will probably choke under the pressure of having to be perfect. Yes, the Broncos’ defense is better than it was, but the Panthers’ offense is better than the Seahawks’ offense was and we saw how that went.

The Cardinals had an amazing defense too, they also had a better offense than the Broncos currently do and look how that ended; the Panthers forced like a dozen turnovers and completely railed the Cardinals so badly that they pulled their starters in a Championship game. That beat down was one of the worst I’ve seen in a while, well since the Patriots’ AFC Championship game against the Colts last year, and the Broncos last Superbowl.

Even if the Patriots would have come back on the Broncos, I would have a hard time being confident about them beating the Panthers. I think they would put up more of a fight than the Broncos, but I don’t know if they’d be able to win. The Broncos are a fine team with good pieces, but the Panthers are on a whole different level.
