Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors have a huge game lined up to be played against the Oklahoma City Thunder the night before Super Bowl Sunday, Feb. 7. A huge Carolina Panthers fan, he’s predicting “a win and a win” for his Golden State Warriors and Carolina, which will battle the Denver Broncos .
Stephen Curry on the Warriors playing Oklahoma City Thunder the day before the Super Bowl: "It'll be a good 48 hours – a win and a win."

This isn’t the first time we’ve heard Curry speak bold words about his opponents.
The baby-faced assassin recently said of his return to Cleveland “Hopefully, it still smells a little bit like champagne.” Now he’s guaranteeing a win over one of the top teams in the Western Conference.
Curry and the Warriors have every right to feel confident about any matchup right now. They recently took down the Cavaliers and San Antonio Spurs — two of the other top three teams in the league — by a combined 64 points and have still only lost four games all year.
Curry also has good cause to feel confident about his Panthers finishing Super Bowl 50 with a win over the Broncos. Carolina, besides the lost second half against an inspired Russell Wilson, have been unstoppable during the NFL playoffs.
Most of the nation would agree with Curry about the Super Bowl, too, it would seem. Betting is extremely tilted in favor of the Panthers for the big game (over 80 percent of money coming in is for Carolina).
While nobody can predict the future, I’ll try my hand here and say next weekend should be a glorious one for those who love sports.
