SB 50: Top 10 Super Bowls of all

The Panthers might have been underdogs if the Patriots beat the Broncos in this year’s AFC Championship Game, but they are significant favorites after winning three more games than Denver this season.

Ellis went on to say that Manning tried to lighten the mood a bit by telling some jokes but became very emotional when talking about how much this game means to him. It will come down to a late fourth quarter touchdown by Cam Newton to propel him into Super Bowl lore. The widely reported betting line has the Panthers as 6.5-point favorites as of this writing.

Manning and the Colts were defeated in Super Bowl XLIV in 2010, by the New Orleans Saints. Of all the key battles in Super Bowl this is unquestionably the one that will most decide the outcome. He’s the likely MVP victor after tallying a league-leading 45 touchdowns (35 passing, 10 rushing) during the regular season.

The offence is led by Cam Newton who, as opposed to Manning, is getting his career going, is just 26, and making his debut in the big game. The other is a 26-year-old who is just hitting his stride, coming off his best season after some ups and downs in his first five seasons in the NFL.

“I’ve done it both ways, staying at the hotel, and moving the night before”, Kubiak said. When he gets going, the entire offense gets more unsafe. He’s such an incredibly talented quarterback. The game was “over” any time the silver bar is displayed above the black dot.

Sports bettors wagered $116 million in Nevada on last year’s Super Bowl, down 2.8 percent from the record $119.4 million spent the previous year when the Seattle Seahawks routed Denver.

Here’s a closer look at how the Super Bowl contenders match up.

Offensively, the Broncos will have to contain Carolina quarterback Cam Newton, arguably the most dynamic player in the National Football League this season.

Before analyzing each team separately, I have charted the history of Super Bowl over/unders starting with the Giants/Broncos in Super Bowl XXI following the 1986 season. Newton is certainly known for his excessive dancing when he scores or has a big play, certainly having a lot of fun playing the game. They were written off before the first snap of the regular.

“Even though we didn’t win a Super Bowl, it was just exciting to go to one”, Winder said.

“The more we won, the more people wanted to tell us why we couldn’t continue to win”, tight end Greg Olsen said.

As I see it, Carolina has looked far better in the playoffs. The top teams are throwing for a million yards, throwing the ball 40 times a game. “He’s given us the ability to go out and compete and be their best”. We’re going to hand the ball off 20-plus times a game…. It allows us to be able to get back here.

I too have a soft spot in my heart for Peyton Manning.
