Super Bowl Picks and Predictions

Manning will become the oldest starting quarterback in Super Bowl history at age 39 when the Broncos face the Panthers in two weeks in Super Bowl 50 at the San Francisco 49ers’ stadium in Santa Clara, California.

Expect more dancing, dabbing and pure merriment from the Panthers during Super Bowl week – much to the haters’ chagrin. “It’s an incredibly gracious gift”.

The Carolina Panthers and Denver Broncos will square off in Super Bowl 50. At the very least this has to be good karma. The Denver Broncos have been the best defense on the National Football League all season long, but they have not faced a QB like Cam Newton, or an offense with receivers with the speed the the Panthers have on the outside with Ted Ginn and Philly Brown.

Asked how he felt about facing five-time NFL Most Valuable Player Manning, Newton said, “I don’t want to make it personal”. In two playoff games, Newton has thrown for 496 yards, ran for 50 yards, and scored five touchdowns.

“We’ve been dreaming about this moment since Day 1”, Newton said. Norman will probably get a deal similar to what Richard Sherman, Patrick Peterson and Darrelle Revis got on their latest signings, even if it’s hard for the Panthers to put a number out there right now.

The Broncos turned in a defensive masterpiece in their 20-18 victory over the Patriots, landing a staggering 20 hits on Brady, who was constantly under siege. “That was, I think, the all-around closing game that’s going to carry over and motivate us in the Super Bowl”.

Because Denver is the home team, the Panthers will call heads or tails on the coin flip. Three more interceptions of beleaguered quarterback Carson Palmer and cool execution by Newton turned the NFC title game into a rout.

“I’m excited right now”, he said, speaking softly but easing into a smile.

Since Rivera was a linebacker on the 1985 Chicago Bears team that won the Super Bowl, he has a lot of pull from when heading into this year’s Super Bowl. According to NFL.com, Newton completed almost 60 percent of his passes for 3,837 yards, 35 touchdowns, and just 10 interceptions during the 2015 regular season, while his 636 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns on the ground led all NFL quarterbacks and helped push Carolina’s rushing offense to No. 2 in the NFL.
