NEW ENGLAND -7 vs CAROLINA 37?

I've read some well thought out opinions on this anda coupla other sites, unfortunately, I seem to align more closely with the dimwits and boobs amongst ya. Albeit, the following opinion has been researched and considered from angles never pondered by dullards. Welp, here goes...

The Carolina Panthers, statistically, at least, are the most thoroughly average team what's ever suited up for the Super Bowl, whereas the New England Patriots are going for their second trophy in three years, without ever having the word "great" associated with their team. Disrespect is an awesome motivator.

The preceding paragraph contains the main thrust of this year's Super Cow Pie selection. I will expound further, but my penchant for wandering from any cognizant point that I may be trying to make compelled me to make certain that my central point, at least, would be included in a prominant place in this narrative.

It is my belief that the Chowds hold significant edges in three very important catagories, if you're trying to win a football championship. They unquestionalbly have the better quarterback and the better defense. I also think most astute 'cappers will give Belichick the nod over Fox. When I mix in that this could very well be a "statement" game for the New England franchise. I begin to get a clear picture of the most likely type of outcome.

Before I give ya the wire on how it'll go, allow me to explain why I don't believe it'll go like alotta yuz are probly figurin', okay? Its like this... The Super Bowl, being the final meaningful game of the season, seems to have about it a psychology which is unique unto itself. The backdoor cover becomes nearly non-existant, as favored powerhouses seem unwilling to show restraint and tend to ride the wave of momentum for all that it is worth. Regarlessa the score, it seems that the winner of the game will also win the fourth quarter. I'm tellin' yuz, it's a differant kinda game. Yo! It works on the headsa the underdogs, too. I mean, as soon as they recognize that their chances of victory have evaporated, they quit. All done, good game, we'll see yuz all next year. It's understandable, really, I mean, the score don't matter to them, just the winner and the loser. Ya see what I'm sayin'?

It's the story, of a man named Brady, who seems to never let his teammates down. They've shared one goal, since September, to win another crown. Its the story of the Carolina Panthers, who had reason to believe they'd be at home. They were hoping, to a man, for an upset. Especially Jake Delhomme. On Sunday when New England meets the Panthers, you'll see something you've never seen before. A Super Bowl, that's a shutout. The Panthers will not score. New England, though, will have their Mister Brady, whose won the last fifteen games that he's played. Eventually he'll lose, it's bound to happen, but it won't be today.

The Brady bunch, Tom Brady's bunch, here's the way the Cow Pies play the Brady Bunch.

NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS -7 Super Power Pie

I'll be playin' the shutout, too! Besta luck!

Like, moo.

Cow, I think this Paragraph say's it all...Good write up...also I have been telling people the last few days that I don't see Carolina scoring more than 10 points and that I wouldn't be suprised if NE shut them out...

Hold you Horses. Ah err I mean HEFERS !!!

Hold you Horses. Ah err I mean HEFERS !!!

Very convincing arguments by Mr. Cow.
Now, I'm having second and third thoughts:

Let's see:

Second thought is 2001, going into 2002. Did I hear exactly the same arguments against NE, and Bra.. who? Are you kidding, bet the house on the other team.

Third thoughts: Wait, what about 2002/2003? Oakland by a mile. Tampa, why you've got to be out of your mind! Oakland will kill them!

So much for second and third thoughts.

We are back to square one: Who decided that NE is 7 points better? Who figured Oak was better than Tampa at that point of the season? I certainly didn't; quite the opposite, or a bunch of us wouldn't have dreamed of laying a big chunk of our hard earned dough on Tampa on the Money Line.

And who said the issue is about dogs and favorites? The issue is two teams that are playing each other; both very much alike, and both aiming to win this game with their defense first, and the rest of the team, including their QB, second.

Oh, sure, the QB has to be careful, but then, isn't that what both of these QBs have been doing all year to get this far? Oh, pardon me, pass the poopon, NE has X number of wins in a row, and somewhere it is written that they have to finish the season with a win. Sorry.

The conclusion is inequivocally: This game is a toss-up, and I'll side with the one who NOW appears to have the strongest defense, the best offense NOW and great momentum NOW, vs. the ones who have been here already THEN. Heck, you'd have to be a fool to pick the false pretender! It's a dog!

Dabbadabbadoo, for three in a row, I aim to make money on this S/B too! Money line and side, that is.

Bellichik? No question he is perhaps the best coach I've seen in quite a while, and getting his team back up this season against all odds is no small accomplishment, met by only a handful of coaches, which reminds me, by the way, of another coach named Fox.

Who is Fox? A nobody; he just got a hold of a team with a good core of players which had been underperforming and added a little salt here, some pepper there, oil and vinegar, and whammo! He just needs one more spice to finish this great meal, and make the front cover of several magazines and be compared to the all time greatest! Dang, Parcells, you were my third choice. Too bad.

So how much better is Billichik than Fox? It's a matter of degrees, but we really won't know until Sunday night, will we? And of course, their teams will have some say in this as well, won't they? One thing is for sure: Something has to give, but after the coin is tossed, I elect to RECEIVE!


unknown little 'capper :rolleyes:

Carolina reminds me of and seems almost identical to, the Tampa Bay Bucs of last year. Will history repeat itself ??

Panthers + 7 in Vegas at -105 and +190 M/L. I'm on it like stink on Petey ;)

Very convincing arguments both ways .... with all due respect Moo-man I can't buy that this will be a NE shutout .... however can see them squeaking out an ugly win, thus a cover but no ring for Carolina .... as Senor Capper says the Panthers seem to be really putting it all together now, acknowledging the fact that Patriots obviously playing well too. My predicted final score for the big game is : NE 17 Carolina 13

Good luck to all and still looking for some good props!!

:D

yeah really they will.. i see the pats using the short pass like the 49ers use to..they don't need a running attack to beat the cats..the pats passing game will lead them to a shiteload of points and that running attack will let the kittys down and their passing game will fall right inot the pats hands..:D

excellent points on both sides. ne should win as they are the moe complete team. however, the colts bitch'n after their loss may be the cats best freind. if def holding is called we are looking at a wide open game :shrug: both teams like to play aggressively against receivers. if the cats can run, it will be a good game and they will cover. if they can't they lose probably big. the fg kicker for the pats is so good i think it favors cats and the spread. the pats will kick it anytime they are in fg range. jmo. gl to all regardless of your side.:)
