Super Bowl 50 Panthers vs. Broncos – latest news & odds

THE Conference Championships are completed and we now have our Super Bowl 50 teams. In what is sure to be an enthralling game, Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers will take on Peyton Manning and the Broncos in a clash of the young and old.

26-year-old Cam Newton led the Panthers to an overwhelming victory over the Arizona Cardinals and bookmakers have been quick to respond, installing them as the red-hot favorites for the Super Bowl on February 7.

WilliamHill.com have the Panthers as -225 favorites to win at Levis Stadium, Santa Clara, which is a touch short for a team lacking in big-game experience. The value could be with the Broncos at +188 which is a good price for a Super Bowl.

This will likely be Peyton Manning’s last game in the NFL and he will want to make it a winning one. The 39-year-old has had his fair share of injuries throughout his career, this season included, but he looks fit and well for the Super Bowl and bettors of the Broncos couldn’t believe the odds available.

In terms of injuries, both teams have fared quite well this season. Carolina have two defensive players in doubt for the Super Bowl and both are questionable to play, and Denver have only one player questionable.

Thomas Davis (Linebacker) – Underwent surgery to repair a broken right arm on Monday morning. Questionable for the Super Bowl.

Roman Harper (Strong Safety) – Harper (eye) expects to be ready for the Super Bowl.

Denver Bronco Darian Stewart sprained his MCL, but he reported that won’t keep him out of the Super Bowl.

The Denver Broncos are getting a +5.0 point start with bookmakers and punters should be expecting a close game, but they have to put the Carolina Panthers big win against the Cardinals out of their minds.

Carolina have a very potent offense, but they are coming up against the best defense in the NFL, and the Broncos are making a case for the best defense we’ve ever seen play american football.

If the defense shows up, and it should, the under 45 points at -110 is a good option to bet on. Both teams will have Super Bowl nerves and it could make for a tight game. Another positive aspect for betting this option is that Denver like to sustain long drives which can take up an entire quarter. This is a tactic they will try to slow down the Panthers offense with.

Super Bowl MVP betting

Cam Newton is the overwhelming favorite to win the MVP title. The Panthers quarterback is paying -175 to take the honors and if the Panthers are to win Super Bowl 50, Newton would be the logical choice.

Opposing quarterback Peyton Manning is +350 which is good money considering it could be his last game. The voting committee might be swayed by this so if the Broncos win and Manning has a good game, he should secure the title.

Von Miller had a wow of a game against the Patriots and a repeat performance would see him winning the title. The defensive star is +2500 which is definitely worth a stab at that value.

Winning margin market and tips

Plenty of money can be made from betting winning margin markets. It is a more difficult option, but the pay outs are worth the risk.

Broncos 1-6 +400
Broncos 7-12 +750
Broncos 13-18 +1100
Broncos 19-24 +2000
Broncos 25-30 +3000
Broncos 31+ +4000

If you think the Broncos are going to win, taking both Broncos 1-6 and 7-12 could be worth a go. Punters will double their money if they win by less than six, but will win substantial amounts if the Broncos can win between 7 to 12 points.

Panthers 1-6 +320
Panthers 7-12 +450
Panthers 13-18 +600 at WilliamHill.com
Panthers 19-24 +850
Panthers 25-30 +1200
Panthers 31+ +1400

The Carolina Panthers are capable of a blowout. We don’t think the Super Bowl against a touch defense is where it will happen, but if they can get on top early they could put up a big number.

Taking Panthers 13-18 and 19-24 isn’t the worst way to go for exotic players. The odds make it well worth the risk.

First touchdown scorer market

A favorite prop bet of all NFL punters. The first touchdown scorer bet gives bettors a chance at winning big very early in the game.

Any player on the field can score first and that’s what makes this option so exciting. It can be one of the favored players, or it could be a defensive player scoring off a fumble of intercept.
