The end of another NFL season is nigh, as we are now just a couple of short weeks away from Super Bowl 50 in Santa Clara, California. It will be, to the surprise of many, the Denver Broncos who will represent the AFC. What isn’t surprising is the NFC representative which will be the stellar Carolina Panthers. We will break down the big game and talk about the best Super Bowl betting options over the next 2 weeks, but for now, let’s start by looking at which players might have a shot at walking away with the MVP award at Super Bowl 50.

Can Cam Newton do the Double?
The regular season MVP has not been announced yet, but Cam Newton looks as though he will deservedly walk away with that prize. If Newton can continue to play at the level he has been playing at all season long, there is no reason he can’t get the MVP at the Super Bowl. The Panthers offense has been nothing short of stunning all season long, and they tore the Arizona Cardinals defense to shreds in the NFC Conference Game. Newton can become only the 3rd QB to win a college football National Championship and a Super Bowl if the Carolina Panthers win in California. That is itself would be reason enough to hand him the MVP.One Last Award for Peyton Manning
This will almost certainly be Peyton Manning’s last shot at glory, as the general consensus is that he will hang up his cleats after Super Bowl 50. It has not been a season to remember for Manning, but that will all be forgotten if he gets his hands on the Lombardi Trophy for the second time in his career. The MVP Award more often than not goes to a QB, and if the Broncos come away with the win, giving it to Manning would almost seem like a no-brainer. Peyton has not put up huge numbers in this year’s playoffs, but he has avoided throwing the INT’s that have plagued him this season. A similar type of performance will be required in Super Bowl 50.
