DENVER (CBS) -- Under the towering shadow of Peyton Manning and his Broncos, New England Patriots fans show their pride, even in the face of the enemy.

Bill Noel, a Pats fan from Canada, says "We didn't get a warm reception at the airport last night."

That didn't stop these three friends from Canada from coming down to Denver to see their Pats take to the field in Denver Sunday for the AFC Championship.

"This game is going to be a classic," says Patriots fan Steve Fullerton. "It's Manning and Brady. They've had a lot of match-ups, (and) they are the best two (quarterbacks) to watch."

With the game one day away, the Patriots faithful are finally showing up from all over.

Layton Jaynes, a Patriots fan from Tennessee, says he isn't a fan of Peyton Manning.

"I'm a big Tom Brady fan," he confessed.

And he is sure the Pats are headed to the Super Bowl, just don't ask him the score.

"I think they are going to win," James said. "I don't know by how much, but they are going to win."
