We’re 6-4 heading into Super Bowl 50. At first glance Super Bowl 50 looked like a really easy pick. But its definitely not.

Super Bowl 50: Denver Broncos (15-3) vs. Carolina Panthers (17-1)

Denver’s defense is terrifying. What they did to Tom Brady and the Patriots last week was both horrific and beautiful to watch. Without blitzing they got to Brady again and again and were the reason Denver won.

But Cam Newton’s terrifying as well. A deserving MVP who this year became the player we all wanted Michael Vick to be 12 years ago. The player Donovan McNabb never became. The player Dante Culpepper was for one season and then never again. Cam Newton has no good receivers and a great receiving Tight End in Greg Olsen.

All Carolina needs to do is get a 7-0 lead and I think it’ll be over. Denver needs to play a smashmouth ugly game to win and I think Cam Newton will be able to make enough plays to beat that style. If Carolina gets a 7-0 lead Peyton Manning has to score. While Denver did that twice early against New England, the last three quarter it was back to nothing for Denver. Carolina led the league in opponent possessions ending in an interception at 12.4%. I think Peyton will throw one or two. Carolina’s got Cam and they should have enough on D even without Thomas Davis.

Panthers 24, Broncos 17
