The day has finally come, Super Bowl 50. All of the hype and excitement will finally come down to 60 minutes between the best two teams in football, the Denver Broncos and the Carolina Panthers. The Broncos have a lot to prove at this Super Bowl, they have a QB that’s on his last leg in Peyton Manning and a stellar defense that’s looking to make Cam Newton pay. There is a plentiful amount of drama here for the Broncos, it has been told by multiple sources that this will be Peyton Manning’s last game, win or lose. For the Panthers, this is the last win they need to complete a legacy, this win makes them 18-1 which would put them near the top with the 1985 Super Bowl XX champions Chicago Bears, and the perfect season 1972 Miami Dolphins, as one of the best teams of all time. Cam Newton is playing like a bull in a china shop just barreling through defenders. One of the most enticed Super Bowls of all time is happening this Sunday and it is sure to be a good one.

My Pick: Broncos 20 Panthers 27

It’s time for Cam to put down the old Bronco. Peyton Manning has had an unbelievable career in the NFL, but his last game is going to be a loss in Super Bowl 50. Cam Newton and the rest of the Carolina offense have been a power house all season long, and are ready to roll over Denver.  Newton is one of the most accurate passers this season and has led his team to victory week after week, finishing 17-1 overall. The Carolina defense doesn’t have much to worry about this year as the Denver offense has been severely lacking. The Denver defense on the other hand? Now that’s a different story. Cam Newton has been one of the most accurate passers in the league this season, but if Broncos’ defense can get to him the game might have a different outcome.

My Pick: Broncos 14 Panthers 20
