We are finally at the end of the 2015-2016 NFL season. But there will be one more game.
The Denver Broncos will be playing the Carolina Panthers. Both of those teams were the #1 seed team going into the playoffs. We have Cam Newton, playing in his first Super Bowl, and Peyton Manning playing in what will probably be his last Super Bowl. Both of these teams have come a long way but only one of them can win. I am going to be giving you two reasons why each team has a chance to win. First off, the Denver Broncos.
1. A couple weeks ago, the Broncos gave up just 18 points to the New England Patriots and the legendary Tom Brady. They have the #1 defense in the NFL. This weekend, it will probably be a harder task to contain the very versatile Cam Newton. Newton has a great arm and can run and pass. I think if the Broncos defensive line can keep Newton in the pocket and force him to throw the ball, guys like Aqib Talib, and Chris Harris Jr. in the secondary will make plays.
2. This is Peyton Manning's last Super Bowl. You have to think he is going to put something extra in. He played decent against the Patriots and he's had a two week rest. He also has the weapons that he needs. He's got Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders. Both of them are speedy and athletic.
Now, two reasons why the Panthers could win.
1. The Panthers have the more versatile quarterback in Cam Newton. If you saw what Cam Newton did to that dominant Arizona Cardinal defense, it's hard to tell if the same will happen against the Broncos. In my opinion, the Broncos do have a better defense. I'm not sure if it will be too easy for Newton this weekend. He might need to use his legs a little more than he usually has to.
2. This Panther defense harassed the Cardinals offense last week creating 6 turnovers! This week they face Peyton Manning who is not at all a versatile quarterback. I think it is safe to say that the Carolina defense is going to give Manning a hard time.
For this game, I am picking the Panthers to win 23-16. I think the Broncos defense will make it tough for Cam Newton in the beginning, but in the end, it is going to come down to talent, and that is something that Cam Newton has more of.
