Super Bowl 50 is nearly here, as the Carolina Panthers will be facing the Denver Broncos with the title on the line.

The Panthers have been arguably the best team in the NFL all season, as they had a 15-1 record in the regular season, and were the No.1 team in the NFC. The Broncos were also the No.1 team in their conference, but it wasn’t as smooth sailing for the Broncos as it was for the Panthers.

Denver was able to clinch the No.1 seed in the AFC over the New England Patriots, which was one of the differences in them reaching the Super Bowl with their narrow win against the Patriots in the AFC Championship Game.

The Broncos used two quarterbacks to get them to the big game, as both Peyton Manning and Brock Osweiler played during the regular season. The injury to Manning opened the door for Osweiler, but despite beating the Patriots in the regular season, it was Manning who was the starting quarterback for the Broncos in the playoffs.

There are a few storylines to monitor after the Super Bowl, as this could be the final game in the illustrious career of Manning.

Cam Newton, who is the likely regular season MVP will look to wrap up his fantastic season with a Super Bowl MVP.

The Panthers are a decent favorite in the Super Bowl, but they certainly won’t intimidate a veteran Broncos squad.

Here are five bold predictions for Super Bowl 50 between the Panthers and the Broncos.
