By Brad Rowland
The only predictions you need to read for Super Bowl 50.
There are sporting events and there are events. The Super Bowl falls into the latter category, and when it comes to the 50th edition of the biggest spectacle in American sports, the level of attention paid to the upcoming game between the Carolina Panthers and Denver Broncos in Santa Clara will be off the charts.
With that amount of scrutiny, there will never be a shortage of opinions and predictions to be consumed.

Super Bowl 50 is upon us, but before it begins, let’s take a look at what we think will happen between the white lines in Levi’s Stadium on Feb. 7.
