There’s more to the Box than just baseball. Not much more, but a little…
Unless you’ve been under a rock, you know that the Carolina Panthers and New England Patriots are linking up in Houston this evening to play what will either be the climax or the denouement of the NFL season. It’s an interesting match-up for sure. Carolina has the superior running game but will also start a QB in Jake Delhomme who was a third stringer only last September. New England’s system is set up to get the most from QB Tom Brady but they might shift gears and call more running plays to avoid the strong Panther secondary. Unlike some past NFL Championships, destined to be blowouts, this one might come down to who is the better coach – Carolina’s John Fox or New England’s Bill Belichick.
Who’s going to win? Now correct me if I'm incorrect, but was I told it's untrue that Carolina has no chance? Was I not misinformed? Are you watching? Is Ty Law the greatest thing since sliced bread or what?
Even if you’re one of those people who watches only for the commercials, be sure to fill us in. Thanks to the CRTC, most of Canada won’t get to see them.
PS: I’m taking the Over. Sure, neither team is a scoring machine but 38 points is nothing. Since 1990, only one Bowl has seen fewer than 39 points scored. Miscommunication seems to happen more frequently in the Big Game, leading to blown defensive assignments and big interceptions.
