This is it, dear friends. Our last morsel of football of the 2015-2016 NFL season is just hours away. Unfortunately, this last bit doesn't include our Cincinnati Bengals, but it is football nonetheless. While the majority of us don't have a strong rooting interest in the game, there are some intriguing storylines in the game with Peyton Manning possibly riding off into the sunset, Cam Newton possibly climbing into the conversation as one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL, Thomas Davis playing with a bionic arm, and more.
Right now, Las Vegas strongly favors the Carolina Panthers, to the tune of a 5.5 point spread favoring them. Only two of our contributors went against Vegas' pick. Both the Broncos and Panthers feature incredible defenses, however, the Panthers' offense with Newton at the helm poses much more of a threat than any Manning-led offense right now.
Without further ado, here are our picks for the game as well as some prop bets! Unlike traditional prop bets that are under/over or yes/no, we went with a more precise route, for fun.
