There are only three games left in the NFL season, but which two teams from this weekend will make the final cut for Super Bowl 50?

After 19 long weeks in the NFL season, the field has been narrowed down to the Final Four, as the Broncos, Cardinals, Panthers and Patriots are all going to be vying for a spot in Super Bowl 50. Whoever wins this weekend will have the next week off, but that’s all way far ahead. What matters now is winning on Sunday and earning one final game this season — something that is already nearly impossible to try and predict. All four teams have pros and cons to their chances this weekend, with no clear cut favorite to hang your prediction hat on.

The Broncos have the resurgence of Peyton Manning to tout, and one of the best defenses in the NFL. They’ll be going against Tom Brady and his Patriots squad that seems to get hot and get nasty at the right time of the year. Over on the NFC side of things, the Panthers and Cardinals were both unlikely choices at the beginning of the season to be the final two teams standing in the conference, but they’re both as capable of being dangerous on Sunday as they are stepping in mud and soiling their otherwise amazing season.

So who will win this weekend and move on to Super Bowl 50? Mark Carman sits down with Matt Verderame to discuss that among other NFL topics:

The Broncos and Patriots will kickoff at 4:05pm ET on CBS while the Cardinals and Panthers get underway at 6:40pm ET on FOX.
