After watching Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers pound the snot out of Seattle in one half of their divisional round pairing two weeks ago – and completely dominate the Arizona Cardinals in their NFC Championship battle on Sunday – it’s no surprise that Carolina is opening Super Bowl 50 as decisive 4.5-point favorites to beat the Denver Broncos at most sportsbooks. To keep up with our Super Bowl 50 Odds just click here.
The Panthers cashed in as 3-point home favorites against Arizona just as I predicted while Denver brought home the bacon as a 3.5-point home dog, again, just as I predicted in the mybookie.ag betting news section. The Panthers are 10-0 SU and 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games as a favorite of six points or less. The Broncos are 6-4 SU and ATS in their last 10 games as an underdog of six points or less. The favorite has won a whopping 32 of the previous 49 Super Bowls.
The matchup is set. We will be ready. #KeepPounding #SB50 » https://t.co/bBaB0W0R8B pic.twitter.com/FNnKE6fmT7
