Will Super Bowl 50 come down to Peyton Manning’s right arm, Cam Newton’s playmaking ability, or whichever team takes care of the ball best?

The countdown is on, folks.

Tonight, the 50th annual Super Bowl will take place in San Francisco between the Carolina Panthers (15-1) and the Denver Broncos (12-4).

Both teams have taken vastly different paths to get to this point and have given as much blood, sweat, and tears as one can possibly give (well, maybe with the exception of dabbing extraordinaire Cam Newton).

Besides that, the Panthers and the Broncos don’t have too much in common.

The conference champions have excelled this season in different ways, which makes for one of the more interesting Super Bowl matchups in recent memory.

In any case, the biggest sporting event of the year will come down to a handful of players and matchups that’ll ultimately decide the outcome.

Let’s take a look at ten x-factors to watch for on Super Bowl Sunday.
