MY SUPER BOWL PREDICTION!

Blogs on back-to-back days?! Has this dude lost his mind?!

Complete coincidence, kids. Don't get used to it. But today is the big day... Super Bowl 50. You're familiar with the storylines. The young gunner Cam Newton trying to win his first chip against the old arm of Peyton Manning. So who will win in this battle of dabby versus flabby? It's prediction time, bitches.

Panthers over Broncos

The Panthers have defied all odds this season, coming one fluky loss to Atlanta away from running the table. When top WR Kelvin Benjamin tore every ligament in his leg before the season began, it looked like Carolina's offense would be putrid, with only premier TE Greg Olsen resembling a threat. But Cam, in true MVP form, put the team on his back, even making previous scrub Ted Ginn Jr. a legitimate star. The Panthers O is definitely one of those units where it's sum is bigger than it's individual parts, and it's an understatement to say that Cam is the glue that brings it all together.

They'll have their hands full with the vaunted Denver defense. The #1 overall D this year equipped with playmakers throughout the field, the Broncos have excelled at making top-tier offenses look mediocre. The issue here is Carolina has beaten Arizona and Seattle in the postseason so far, and those two teams, although not ranked as high as Denver, are also known for their punishing defenses. Many think Cam, in his first Super Bowl trip, will have his hands full with the Denver D, but actually I think it's the complete opposite.

However, the game is really going to come down to Denver's offense vs. Carolina's defense. Much has been said about Peyton's season. Dead arm against the strong winds of the winter, mixed with a injured foot lead to the opening of the Brock Osweiler show. While Brock looked serviceable, even at the age of 39, Peyton gives Denver the best chance to win. And that almost 40-year-old arm will be the key to this game. Sailing cream puffs to a Carolina D that picked MVP candidate Carson Palmer four times, including taking one to the house, is not a recipe for victory. Peyton needs his arm to become bionic in what could be his last rodeo. I don't see it. The Panthers are steamrolling teams right now and I don't believe Denver has the firepower to keep up.

The interesting piece will be how Peyton's legacy goes down if he does indeed lose. Dan Marino would be the first to tell you that he'd trade in all his legendary stats for just one ring, but for Peyton to get to the big show four times and only leave with one ring would be disappointing. For any ordinary QB, not a big deal, but for someone in the all-time QB discussion, that could be a devastating blow. For that reason, and the fact that he's Eli's big bro, my heart is with Peyton. But my mind is with Cam and the Panthers.

Carolina 34, Denver 21

Enjoy the game, pendejos. Be safe and easy on the pizza.

SUPER BOWL PREDICTION!

Folks, it's about that time. Super Bowl Sunday, one of the most glorious days of the year. Whether you're tuned in for the commercials, the halftime show (#TeamBruno) or the actual game, all eyes will be on MetLife Stadium tonight as the Denver Broncos square off against the Seattle Seahawks.

When I first began this blog, I predicted the outcome of every NFL playoff game. And quite successfully, I may add. While it's too late to do that (and judging by who I would've picked, it was probably for the best), it's time to take it back to the roots and drop a Super Bowl prediction for dat azz.

There have been many stats about the #1 overall defense playing in the Super Bowl. Damn near unbeatable. The argument there could be that they never faced the #1 overall offense. But that has happened... four times, actually... with the dominant defensive team winning three of those.

None of those defenses, however, have played against THIS offense. I know almost any metric you look at points to Seattle winning this game. It makes sense. Running the ball and playing (extraordinary) defense will win you many games, and the Seahawks do both well. But this is a whole different offensive monster were talking about here with Denver. While Seattle has a great defense, they are not considered a legendary, all-time defense. Denver's offense is in the discussion for the best ever.

In order for Seattle to win, they're gonna have to put up points. Holding Denver to under 30 would be a huge accomplishment. The Broncos' O is that good. I'm not confident Seattle can keep up. I know Russell Wilson has been as cool and calm as you can get. But unless Seattle jumps ahead early, he's going to have pressure he hasn't previously had to move the ball. Denver's secondary is leaky, but Seattle's receiving unit isn't elite, either. Seattle will put up points, just not enough to take the Lombardi Trophy home.

My prediction: Denver 34 - Seattle 21

(And yes, I made a whole blog about the outcome of the Super Bowl without mentioning Peyton Manning and Richard Sherman. You're welcome.)
