Super Bowl 50

It's that time of year again.  After a long season of football, it all comes down to this.  The 17-1 Carolina Panthers face off against 14-4 Denver Broncos. It is a battle of a 39 year old quarterback against a new generation, 26-year old Panthers quarterback Cam Newton.  But, Newton was a far better quarterback than the legend of Manning.  Newton is set to become the League's MVP, throwing for 35 touchdowns and only ten interceptions. Manning threw nine touchdowns to seventeen interceptions, even though he missed almost half of the season due to his foot injury.  He might possibly be the worst quarterback in the history of the NFL to start in the Super Bowl.
Manning's defense is preparing to face off against Newton.  They were the top defense on the year, so they so be ready, and it should be a good battle. But, the real question is if that Broncos offense can go against this Panther defense and keep up with Cam Newton.
To be honest, the Broncos are the third or fourth best team in the AFC.  Behind the New England Patriots, Pittsburgh Steelers, and probably even the Cincinnati Bengals.  How did they get by them all?  Because all three of those teams had bad injuries.  The Broncos beat the Bengals in overtime at home against backup A.J McCarron.  That would've gotten the Bengals a bye week, instead of the Broncos. They beat the Steelers without Antonio Brown, who torched them when they played in December.  Ben Roethlisberger was questionable all week, they were without DeAngelo Williams, so they were down to their third string running back, Fitzgerald Toussiant.  They were driving up one before he fumbled it, giving the Broncos the game. The Patriots were without their top two backs, but c'mon, who wasn't happy when the Patriots were knocked out?
  This will be the Broncos record tying eight Super Bowl played in, tying the record with the Steelers, Dallas Cowboys.  The Steelers are 6-2, their last one played was a loss in Super Bowl 45 to the Green Bay Packers, and their last won was Super Bowl 43 against the Arizona Cardinals.  The Cowboys are 5-3, with their last win being twenty years ago in Super Bowl 30 against the Steelers, and their last loss against the Steelers in Super Bowl 10. 
The Broncos are 2-5, losing those five by an average of thirty points, the last in Super Bowl 48, a 43-8 loss against the Seahawks, and their last win was Super Bowl 33 against the Atlanta Falcons, the second of back-to-back Super Bowl victories.  The Panthers are 0-1, their only loss being against the Patriots in Super Bowl 38.  They have only been a franchise since 1995, and not much Super Bowl success.
My prediction is that the Panthers will win handily, but the Broncos keep it close early in Peyton Manning's most likely final game.  If it's close late, I give the Broncos a great chance.  But, it will be another big loss in the Super Bowl for the Broncos.
