See who Cortana predicts will win the game
17-1 Carolina to win the Big Game with 64% probability. During the regular season, Carolina was the league’s #1 scoring offense and #6 scoring defense, while Denver was the #20 scoring offense and #4 scoring defense. Carolina’s rush offense was #2 vs #17 for Denver, and Denver’s rush defense was #3 while Carolina’s was #4. Both defenses are stout, so our models expect Carolina’s much stronger offense to be the difference, becoming the first 18 win champion in 30 years. All predictions are now found in the official NFL app on Windows 10 and Xbox so if you missed out this season, be sure to check it out next fall.
