Head to head would have been fun to see, but Magnus didn't compete.
Against their peers Carlsen scores better apparently, evidenced by his slightly higher rating.
But as Kramnik said, when you're world champion, you don't care so much about your rating 
Carlsen, although i prefer anands style of play
Carlsen is better and will win the match with 3 wins and 1 loss and the rest draws. [per the prediction thread]
I agree with that. It sounds like a good guess on the score, I was thinking a 2 point advantage also. 6.5 - 4.5 Magnus Carlsen is the new world chess champion, right before his 23 birthday.
if carlsen wins, will he be the youngest world champ in the history of the earth.
Kasparov was 22 won he won it. But remember, Carlsen sat out the last cycle. He WAS ranked #1 in the world at only 19 years old though and that IS a world record.
