The Carolina Panthers and Denver Broncos already arrived in Santa Clara, California Sunday, a week ahead of their Super Bowl 50 matchup at the Levi's Stadium on Feb. 7. 

According to the report on NFL.com, the Broncos were in California first at around 3 p.m. PST, while the Panthers arrived about an hour after their opponents did. 

Before leaving for California, Broncos franchise quarterback Peyton Manning with defensive lineman Malik Jackson and punter Britton Colquitt took a photo which was uploaded on the team's official Twitter page

Meanwhile, the Carolina Panthers were cheered on by their fans before they boarded their flight to Santa Clara.

A photo uploaded on the team's official Twitter account shows fans on the streets sporting Panthers jerseys or wearing something that is blue. 

The highlight of this season's Super Bowl is the collision between the present and the future in quarterbacks Peyton Manning (Broncos) and Cam Newton (Panthers). 

After the American Football Conference (AFC) Championship Game, Manning told New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick that this might be his "last rodeo."

Manning is in his 18th season but is looking for only his second Super Bowl win in an illustrious career. Newton, on the other hand, is just in his fifth season aiming to win his and the franchise's first championship. 

In a report by Bleacher Report, the betting odds are favoring the Panthers to win the Lombardi Trophy, which keeps Denver an underdog just like last week in the AFC Championship Game versus the Pats. 

The Panthers had an impressive regular season, only losing once, which made them heavy favorites heading to the last and biggest game in the National Football League (NFL) this season. 

The Broncos lost four times in the regular season, but dethroned the Patriots (defeating them twice this season) who were expected to again be in the Super Bowl this year. 

Super Bowl 50 will be aired on CBS at 6:30 p.m. EST. To watch the game via live stream, click here.
