mvp, against trevor siemian, an unknown. the oddsmakers don't know what to make of trevor siemian. the broncos opened as the favorites and really all this changed since then was that mark sanchez was struggling and might get beat out and that's when the line changed from the broncos being a favorite to three-point underdog. remember again last year peyton manning fading, cam newton a great year. the panthers were favored. in 2013 the broncos were seahawks. defense is never the reason to be favored. it's always about the quarterback and the offense. >> seems like the nfl always tries to kick off the season with a super bowl rematch, but it hasn't happened in 46 years. >> reporter: yeah. and i'm proud to say th i watched that game 46 years ago, the minnesota vikings did beat the kansas city chiefs to
5:26 pm
look at the broncos schedule, it's kind of how it fell. they always rotate divisions of the opposite conference who you can play. really the only other choice would have been houston and brock osweiler, but that would have been more about what the broncos lost, not what the broncos won which was super bowl 50. >> good point. maybe that's why the broncos are underdogs because the vikings won that rematch 46 years ago. thanks, mike. the san francisco giants intentionally walked n carlos gonzalez today.

5:28 pm
care what anyone else thinks and when he lost and walked out of his postgame press conference of the super bowl, he was a self-proclaimed sore loser. i guess if you're a panthers fan, you're happy he's still acting like a jerk because he's a fantastic player. i think the whole joy happy thing is a total act. it's not a genuine joy like magic johnson, for instance. >> kind of like i felt when the
