Official Super Bowl 50 Predictions

Official Super Bowl 50 Preview

            The final game of the season is here, and it brings the intriguing matchup of MVP Cam Newton’s league best Panthers against the Broncos in quite possibly Peyton Manning’s last game. Both teams have been red-hot leading up to this game. Carolina’s highest-scoring offense just put up 49 points against Arizona, while Denver knocked down Tom Brady an amazing 23 times in their respective Conference Championship Games. Before tonight’s game, I just wanted to lay out some of my predictions and favorite bets for what will hopefully be the final year in which no money is actually involved.

Predictions:

P. Manning: 19-37, 205 yards, 1 TD, 2 turnovers

C. Newton: 15-26, 276 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT, 10 rushes, 49 yards, TD

CJ Anderson: 14 rushes, 67 yards, TD

J. Stewart: 17 rush, 61 yards, TD

D. Thomas: 3 rec, 34 yards

E. Sanders: 8 rec, 97 yards, TD

G. Olsen: 6 rec, 78 yards

C. Brown: 3 rec, 71 yards, TD

T. Ginn: 3 rec, 51 yards, 2 rushes, 17 yards, 48 punt return yards

Final Score: Denver 16, Carolina 34

These are the bets I like, and let’s just say I’ll have $10 on each. I’ll see how much I would have won or lost at the end! Even though I’m obviously heavy on Carolina, I would still love if Denver wins this game, as Peyton Manning is my favorite player of all time. I like both these teams, I’m just happy the Patriots are out of it! Good luck to both teams, and let’s have a great Super Bowl. Until next season, football.
