The Denver Broncos.
The best defense in the league has appeared in 3 straight Super Bowls. This is for a reason. Peyton Manning feels father time leaning over his shoulder and knows that his time is now or never.
Peyton Manning will be remembered as one of the NFL's greatest QB's but lost among all of his excellence is a very important question.
Why is Peyton so great?
The answer is simple. He's an accurate thrower, but it goes much deeper than that. He can dissect a defense at the snap and change his offensive play to one that has a better likelihood of being effective. A smart man can easily outplay the strongest of men.
There are some interesting factors that will be in play for this game.
- Peyton has been criticized for his record at home this year. Denver is a cold weather stadium and it is known that Peyton much prefers the warm weather. This game will be played in Arizona.
- Arizona just saw its very promising season ended by Carolina. Arizona will be a hostile environment for Carolina.
Denver's defense has almost identical numbers to the 2013 Seahawks.

The 2013 Seahawks played literally the best Offense in the history of the NFL in the Super Bowl and won 43-8.
Expect more of the same in Super Bowl 50 especially since Cam Newton is not having the type of season that Peyton Manning had in 2013. The Denver Broncos front 7 is too smart and too good to let Cam Newton run all over them. They will force him to pass from a pocket that they will crash all day and he will make errors.
The Denver Broncos will win Super Bowl 50 and Peyton Manning will retire a champion.
