THE PREDICTIONS

 ARTHUR ABRAHAM

“I like the Denver Broncos‘ chances to win Super Bowl 50, I like them a lot! Peyton Manning is one of the all-time greats, the oldest quarterback to lead a team to a Super Bowl berth. With his experience in clutch-time situations, he cannot be denied winning his third championship ring. I n addition, the Broncos have had THE best defense all season long, knowing how to penetrate the opposing team for errors. That could be compared to my style of boxing.   And nine out of 10 times, a good defense beats a good offense in championships. Watch the Broncos prevail 24 – 17 against Cam Newton’s Panthers.”

GILBERTO RAMIREZ

The Panthers have an explosive offense and a very strong defense. Carolina 28 to 21.

 ÓSCAR VALDEZ

“Panthers 30-10 because Denver beat my favorite team, the New England Patriots.”

 EVGENY GRADOVICH

It’s all about the defense as Carolina will quickly find out. Denver Broncos 28-21

 JOSE RAMÍREZ

“Panthers because of their momentum. Their confidence as a team and their Quarterback, “Super” Cam Newton, started strong during the season and seem to get stronger.  Final score will be Carolina 24-17″.

MANNY PEREZ

No. 1 Defense vs. No. 1 Offense. Defense wins games. Denver Broncos 24 to 10.
