Future & Jeezy Joined Cam Newton On Field Before Today’s Game

Newton had a stellar day completing 19 of 28 passes for 335 yards and two touchdowns and also ran for 47 yards and two scores in dabbing his way to the National Football League title game.

The Broncos’ defensive performance – coupled with a big play or two from running back C.J. Anderson – meant Manning didn’t have to do too much more than steer the ship.

Panthers coach Ron Rivera is making his first trip to the Super Bowl as a head coach, but it’s not his first experience with the game. I am not discrediting any players on the Denver defense, but I just feel like Carolina’s defense will have it somewhat easier against Manning than the Denver’s defense will have it with Cam Newton and his teammates on the offensive side of the ball. Of their 95 big plays (10 or more yards on rushing attempts and 25 or more yards on passing plays) on the year during the regular season, 64 have come on rushing plays.

Manning surpassed his boss, John Elway, as the oldest quarterback to take his team to the Super Bowl.

Super Bowl tickets are being sold for a super price.

The Panthers defense might not be as dominant as Denver’s, but it’s no picnic to face.

However, when the playoffs started, the model liked the Panthers even though many observers were still not sold.

Carolina scored the first three times they touched the ball in seizing a 17-0 lead and led 24-7 at halftime, taking advantage of four turnovers by a shaky Arizona attack. Von Miller and DeMarcus Ware have been unstoppable this year at the line of scrimmage, and it showed off in the AFC Championship game against the New England Patriots. They were the only team to go 8-0 at home this season. That’s good news for a bettor who put $30,000 on Denver winning the Super Bowl at 14-1 odds on August 18 at a William Hill sports book. Should I change this?’ I told our coordinators this morning: We’re going to do what we do, we’re going to stick to what got us to where we are today.

Newton made history by becoming the first man in the Super Bowl era to throw for 300-plus yards and run for multiple touchdowns, per ESPN.com’s David Newton, but it wasn’t just the dynamic signal-caller who performed well on the Carolina side.
