Kiz: All of Broncos Country wants a fairly-tale ending for quarterback Peyton Manning in the Super Bowl. But the rest of America isn't buying it. In fact, with more than 80 percent of the early money wagered being placed on Carolina, the line has moved to favor the Panthers by six points. If the line holds, it would make Denver the biggest underdog in the Super Bowl since the 2008 NFL season. Is this a mismatch?
Renck: The Panthers deserve to be favored. They are 17-1, and if they hadn't taken an in-game selfie team photo during a 38-0 win over Atlanta, which motivated the Falcons for the rematch two weeks later, they would be undefeated.
