Carolina will deny Peyton Manning’s attempt to win a second Super Bowl by the score of 24-20, according to the simulation.

For so many years, Manning was the reason his teams either has success or failed to reach expectations. The Denver Broncos quarterback – a future Hall of Famer in what may be his final season – is once more a Super Bowl champion.
Bettors liked the Carolina Panthers all the way to kickoff in the legal sports books in Las Vegas.
On third-and-10 from the 15, Miller blew past a blocker and stripped the ball from Newton’s hand. His response: Ted Ginn, with no hesitation. Still, there’s no superstar on that receiving core to speak of. They are also the top team against the pass, allowing 199.6 yards per game through the air, while being the third ranked rush defense, allowing 83.6 yards per game. He’s like a five-tool baseball player in that aspect.
“Oh, and did I mention, I will throw in a signed football, too”. Maybe an National Basketball Association small forward.
Later in the quarter, the Panthers defense looked like they had sacked Peyton Manning.
Panthers Pro Bowl running back Jonathan Stewart has returned to the game after missing one series with a foot injury. But fans who watched and rewatched the replay were outraged that a play that human convention says is a catch the National Football League rules is not a catch.
Broncos special-teams coach Joe DeCamillis was asked about the Panthers’ biggest weapon.
And the Panthers danced on their opponents in the NFC Divisional Round and NFC Championship Game.
The drive would stall, and Carolina was forced to attempt a field goal. Same for the Arizona game, as Carson Palmer crumbled. That would bring the first half to an end.
That’s the fear for Carolina.
“They’ll pressure you. They’ll play a lot of (zone)”.
On Denver’s first drive of the 3rd quarter, they once again had to settle for a field goal, but after the made attempt led the game 16-7. “It’s going to be hard to imagine football without Peyton Manning”.

But the Broncos also had a giveaway when Manning was picked by DE Kony Ealy on a zone blitz deep in Panthers territory. The Panthers rarely turn the ball over, yet fumbled three times, losing two of those, while giving up a defensive touchdown and a 61-yard punt return to Jordan Norwood. That is often a good reason to run screaming to the other side, but I still think Carolina wins with relative ease. Three plays later, helped by the holding call, the Broncos had the touchdown and the game was over.
