Super Bowl 50 matchups: QBs, elite defenses make for compelling title tilt

We're with Vegas on this one. Newton will cap his incredible campaign, but won't do it alone. He'll complement the strong play of the Carolina defense, which could generate a couple Manning turnovers. The Broncos defense is good enough to keep it interesting into the fourth quarter, but it won't be enough. Prediction: Carolina 26, Denver 17

Analysis: Peyton Manning threw at least one interception in his first nine games this year. He's posted a clean ledger the past three weeks, including a pair of playoff wins, but he's completing well below 60 percent of his throws.
