i agree with your observations. Also, it's so hard to watch the game when playing the under, especially we know what Carolina can do. What makes it even harder to pick the over is how strong both defenses are. Carolina definitely has the quarterback advantage to win the game decidedly.
I think this game will play out and be decided greatly by the QB advantage. If Manning plays waaaay above his norm for this season, then we're in trouble. But I also trust the Carolina defense and DC to make that unlikely.
Congratulations to all the Denver backers. I definitely didn't see this result coming. Manning wasn't a factor, but the Denver D was superb. They tackled the ball, causing turnovers, and kept Cam from running too much. Von Miller deserves the MVP.
