The Super Bowl is finally here, and along with it comes pageantry and ridiculous, overblown story lines.

Here at numberFire, we're not concerned with what the narratives say or which hot takes are gaining the most traction. We take a look at what the numbers say and what's really going on. We have Marc Sessler of NFL.com..

The pass rush has been a force all year, though. numberFire Live takes all of our analytics and applies them to the game in real-time, using them to calculate each team's chances of winning, among other things.

With our pre-kickoff NEP data, Carolina comes in with a 66% chance to win this one, making them pretty sizable favorites. According to our numbers, the huge disparity in offensive production should be more than enough to make up for the edge that Denver has on defense.
