It’s amusing how far a little bit of disrespect can get a team. So you see so much of the betting on the underdog when it comes to the Super Bowl focused on the moneyline, and that was the biggest difference and it cost the sportsbooks substantially because of the moneyline play.

In the aftermath of Super Bowl 50, Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton has been harshly criticized for appearing to hesitate instead of jumping on the loose football he had fumbled late in the 4th quarter.
The steady forward progress of fifth-year veteran Newton took a big leap forward as the freak of nature physically looked like a different man on and off the field.
NEW YORK ” Setting television viewership records with the Super Bowl has become nearly routine, but this year’s average of 111.9 million viewers for Denver’s victory over Carolina is down from the past two years.

“They’re the rawest defense, ever – ever”, said Naperville native Owen Daniels, the Broncos’ tight end. “We’re not going to change it up, switch it up next year when the season starts over”. We’ll let you decide.
It was a common theme while navigating through the maze of the postgame interview area Sunday night.
When the Panthers and Broncos take the field, it will be a matchup of former No. 1 overall picks in the NFL Draft. It became their motive to draw up and carry out a vicious game plan that left the NFL’s Most Valuable Player dazed, confused and defeated.
The quarterback went on to say, “Who are you to say that your way is right?”
Even without the Manning shout-out, Budweiser would have had a strong Super Bowl performance.
It was – for all the wrong reasons.
“They made more plays than us and that’s what it came down to. So we need to learn from this experience and give ourselves an opportunity to get back here”.
Newton didn’t respond well, struggling to complete 18 of 41 passes for 265 yards. The Panthers never got on track in a 24-10 loss. “I’m uncomfortable with comparisons, but the type of defense that we played this year was special”. “This is a great league with or without me”.
Almost 4 million unique viewers streamed some part of the pre-game, game or post-game coverage, and those viewers watched a total of 402 million minutes.
The Carolina Panthers linebacker broke his arm in the NFC Championship game on January 24 and was told it was highly unlikely he’d be able to suit up for the season-ending showpiece.
“Important thing is, it’s going to be his decision”, Elway said.
For the Super Bowl, you have bettors that come in that strictly bet the Super Bowl. From unemployed to the Super Bowl is good. “Then the Super Bowl is on him, too”. It’s also the Broncos’ third championship in a record eight Super Bowl appearances, joining the two Elway won as quarterback following the 1997 and 1998 seasons.
“When you have safeties that will hit you and can cover, and when you have corners (where) you can call man any time of the day … and they you got a D-line that can get after the quarterback and linebackers that can cover just as good as the safeties”, safety Darian Stewart said, “We had the best defense, man, without a doubt”.

“To get to the Super Bowl, you have to beat great teams, that’s the nature of the National Football League”, Miller said.
