Cats win toss. Steve Smith takes the OT kickoff 90 yards.
Game.
Cat will exhibit patience, ball control (Davis) and Jake making no mistakes, settling for field goals.
Pats will have a tough time making yards, having a tough time running the ball and the Cats will force Brady to throw a pick or two.
The Panthers are by far better rounded than New England.
The Pat's had to use a gimmick short pass offense in place of a decent running game even against a weak Colt defense just to get here.
The Cats will use Davis as a sledgehammer all day long. They can throw some, because of Davis, against an incredible New England secondary.
The Cats will force New England to pass and it will catch up with them. The Colts secondary wasn't good enough to take advantage of this. The Cats are.
The Panthers dominated the Birds.
The Pats, even with Manning playing HORRIBLE and the Pat D playing fantastic, did not have the issue settled until the two no calls at the end.
In this matchup of two superb Bill Parcells disciples, Fox simply has a few more tools to work with.
Great game coming up.
