Ratings don't necessarily tell the whole story. This matchup looks to me like the classic sports scenario of the rising star taking on the wily, experienced veteran. Wait for the fat lady to clear her throat; not a move of this match has been played yet.

I think it was Kramnik who made the comment that when you're world champion you don't really care about your rating very much anymore Laughing

Even so, Carlsen's recent performances have been so good you can't think of him as the underdog.

Yes, I agree.
