DMN: Our experts' Super Bowl 50 picks: Who's got Carolina? Who's on the Broncos?

[CWR]

Only way Denver wins is if Manning of 2 years ago shows up. Present day Manning can't keep up with Carolina.

The big game is almost here. Will Peyton Manning finally get that elusive second Super Bowl win? Or will Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers prove to be too much for the Broncos to handle?
Our experts make their picks.

Who cares if the Cowboys are not in it ???

When Denver played Seattle, I was hesitant to pick a Seattle blow out, even though my mind told me it would be.

So I'm predicting a Carolina blow out. It would be one thing if the Panthers didn't have a defense. But they have a defense and one that specializes in turnovers.

I just don't think Denver can keep up.

Carolina 48
Denver 20

I'm with you! I'm feeling a repeat of that game two years ago. Carolina jumps all over them, and things end up reminiscent of our first meeting with Buffalo.

One team has a quarterback just reaching his prime while the other has one well past his.

Carolina wins 27-16
could be a blowout if denvers defense cant handle the Carolina offense.
And if denvers defense is really great then maybe they might win/

so anything might happen?? #hedgeyourbets...lol

I hope the Broncos win for Ware's sake. He would have never had a chance to win it all under Garrett. Other than that I could not care less. I have nothing against either team.

First timers usually tighten up when they hit the Big Stage. Up against a tough D will make for an even tighter spot for Cam and CAR. He has always stepped up in the past but he has also shown signs of cracking when they were undefeated and had huge 1st half leads.

I see DEN winning a fairly low scoring game 23-16.

Wow, what a stunningly accurate prediction

Opps. And that's why they play the game.
I was definitely wrong. Congratulations, Broncos. You guys executed the perfect game plan.

You have to give Peyton credit for putting his ego aside and letting the Defense win the game.

He made a couple decent throws but was able to shorten the game by sticking to the run and trusting the punter.

yeah lol and ** was right !
denvers defense was great ! and they did win.
No way I thought they could dominate like they did.

Really, that's how you supposed to win Super Bowls. You have to win as a TEAM. When Peyton learned how to hand the ball off to Joseph Addai, then the Colts won the AFC Championship and then the Super Bowl.

As long as the offense primarily ran through Peyton, teams devised ways to shut him down in the playoffs and Super Bowls.

This time, however, the defense knew it had to win this game. And it did.

We (the Cowboys) need to learn a lesson from this Super Bowl.

So many had this pick wrong. Now step up and claim your crow to eat people, there is plenty to go around.

I had it wrong lol.
Carolina had been so strong on offense, I thought they could at least score 24-27 points.
But to be held to only 10 points shocked everyone.

Now the one thing I noticed, was the denver players stepped up individually, and made great plays.
The Carolina players didnt, and even stepped down instead of up !
At least 2 long pass plays were dropped, and other individual efforts were just not very good.

It was the first time for most of them and I think they were over confident.

 

[rynochop]

If Denver plays defense anywhere close to how they played New England I got them winning. Brady had to throw a couple great passes late to make it close. Cam is not Brady

Since we.re all patting ourselves on the back.lol No crow for me thank you.ha

 

[LocimusPrime]

I think Denver will win
