With a win on February 7th, he can become the first quarterback to win the Heisman trophy, national title, Most Valuable Player and Super Bowl. Carolina’s systematic dismantling of the Arizona Cardinals in the NFC Championship game (a punishing final score of 49-15) have positioned them as the betting favourites heading into Super Bowl Sunday.
