The Green Bay Packers are an overwhelming favorite to win the Super Bowl 50 Championship according to a survey of The Sports Xchange football staff.

However, their opponent in Santa Clara’s Levi Stadium is not as obvious with the defending champion New England Patriots and talented Indianapolis Colts finishing in a tie for the AFC title.

Appropriately, Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rogers ran away with Most Valuable Player honors, easily out-distancing Dallas quarterback Tony Romo and the Colts’ Andrew Luck.

Oakland Raiders slick wide receiver Amari Cooper was a runaway pick as Rookie of the Year, with other votes going to Tampa Bay quarterback Jameis Winston and San Diego Chargers running back Melvin Gordon.

Now on with the formality of playing the season.
