Obama picked Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl 50

President Obama incorrectly predicted the Carolina Panthers would win Sunday night’s Super Bowl 50 in Santa Clara, Calif.

Obama made a secret pick during a live interview with CBS before the NFL championship’s kickoff that evening. CBS then revealed the president selected the wrong victor during its broadcast of “CBS This Morning” early Monday.

{mosads}“Panthers!” co-host Norah O’Donnell read off a scorecard where Obama had circled the Panthers’s logo. “And he signed it Barack Obama.”

“I would have thought because it was Peyton’s last time [he would have picked the Denver Broncos],” co-host Gayle King said, referencing Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning.

“He’s a student of the game,” co-host Charlie Rose responded. “[The Carolina Panthers] were favored 6-1.”

Obama joked that he had “a lot of pressure” guessing the winner of Sunday’s athletic contest during an interview with King before the game.

The Broncos vanquished the Panthers, 24-10, giving the franchise its third Super Bowl title amid the NFL celebrating its golden anniversary.

Denver linebacker Von Miller was named Super Bowl MVP, nabbing 5 solo tackles, 2 forced fumbles and 2.5 sacks on Panthers quarterback Cam Newton.
