The Panthers are the better overall team right now and are certainly the favorites. However, I would love to see Peyton Manning win his second ring and then retire as a winner. He is one of the greatest quarterbacks ever to play the game (if not the best).
Here are some stats to see how the Broncos and Panthers stacked up in the regular season:
Yards From Scrimmage
Carolina - 11th - 5871 yards
Denver - 16th - 5688 yards
Total Points Scored
Carolina - 1st - 500 - 31.3 PPG
Denver - 19th - 355 - 22.2 PPG
Turnovers
Carolina - 1st - 39 takeaways / 19 giveaways - +20 overall
Denver - T19th - 27 takeaways / 31 giveaways - -4 overall
Defensive Yards Allowed
Denver - 1st - 4530 yards
Carolina - 6th - 5167 yard
Points Allowed
Denver - 4th - 296 - 18.5 PPG
Carolina - 6th - 308 - 19.3 PPG
Carolina had the clearly superior offense this year putting up the most total points in the league and 145 more than Denver. Denver was ranked #1 in the league in total team defense, gave up the fewest yards against, and the fourth lowest point total. Carolina's defense was not much worse though and only gave up 0.8 more points per game than Denver. The regular season turnover differential wasn't even close. Carolina was +24 in turnover differential when compared to Denver.
In their respective conference championship games: Carolina dominated Arizona from start to finish and turned them over 7 times in the NFC Championship. The Broncos defense (living up to their name) tortured Tom Brady for 60 minutes. He was constantly on the run with pressure in his face and was hit 20 times! The 20 QB hits for the Denver defense was the largest hit total against any QB in the NFL in 2015. Brady was uncomfortable all night and was throwing ducks whenever he was forced from the pocket.
Despite Denver's clear defensive superiority in the AFC Championship it will be hard for them to repeat some of those numbers against Cam Newton and the Panthers. Newton is an obviously superior runner than Brady and brings a dimension that the Patriots did not. Newton can make plays on the move. In order for Denver to win this game, they need to pressure Cam while simultaneously keeping him contained in the pocket. If they can't, it will be a long night for the Broncos.

Rooting for Broncos, but I think Carolina stands a better chance.

I don't follow sports much, but what I saw of the Denver defense against Brady and the Pats... Denver is a good bet.

Worst. Super Bowl. Ever.
The highlight was Lady Gaga, went downhill from there. Game sucked. Halftime sucked. Commercials sucked.
My wife fell asleep midway through the 3rd quarter.
Sucked.
I saw Joe Montana (49ers) crush John Elway (Broncos) in Super Bowl XXIV... 55-10
That was an embarrassing game with a lot of scoring... and many thought it was the worst SB ever.

That was A classic super bowl... Close through 4 quarters, only 2 offense touchdown scored through the entire game and 34 points were scored between the two teams. CLASSIC SUPERBOWL
Worst. Super Bowl. Ever.

So would you agree that the most consequential outcome of the game is that a bunch a nice folks in 3rd world countries will become Panthers "fans" over the next few weeks?
(Didn't watch the game, didn't even know who was in it until reading the outcome.)
Yeah thats a fair assessment. LOLWorst. Super Bowl. Ever.
