The NFL christened their fiftieth Super Bowl with the number 50 instead of the seldom-used Roman numeral “L”, but the symbol merits at least one use when considering the trend that this match-up continues. Looking at those past dozen matchups of young vs. old QBs, the Super Bowl appears to be a young man’s game with those sub-30 quarterbacks leading their teams to an 8-4 SU record while going 7-5 ATS. Peyton hasn’t faced the Panthers since the 2012 season.

Elway also didn’t struggle like Manning did during the regular season, with Elway throwing 22 touchdowns to 10 interceptions in ’98 versus nine touchdowns and 17 interceptions for Manning in ’15. He has 38 total passing TDs and 11 INTs in those games. And it’s why a Manning retirement, win or lose against Carolina, seems inevitable.

The mild weather is not expected to last in an El Nino-drenched winter, which means all the painting for Super Bowl 50 – from end zones to midfield logos to the hash marks – has to be done during a break in the precipitation this week.
“When you look at Peyton Manning, prototypical old-fashioned quarterback”, he said.
“It doesn’t matter. I’m going to feel it in the morning”, was Ward’s retort, according to Talib, who called it “a hell of a speech”. “When you get out there, you’re not thinking about almost as many things”.
And yet, amidst murmerings of purposeful teabaggings and the huffing and puffing on behalf of the wholly underwhelming Broncos offense, running back CJ Anderson found the time to be gracious in victory.
