Carson Palmer’s ultimate shot at redemption has come in Super Bowl LI in Houston.

After taking care of any lasting playoff demons via conquest of Carolina, the Oakland Raiders are the only thing standing in the way of him and hero’s welcome in Arizona.

Two years ago, the Raiders left him looking for work elsewhere and this Super Bowl chance would be the best way for him to exact revenge.

Going out with a bang is something only a few quarterbacks have successfully done, including last year’s spectacle with Peyton Manning.

Now it’s Palmer’s turn to get a ring.

Oakland will be the team that jumps out to a big lead, even taking it into the fourth quarter with them, but they won’t hold on.

This game will go to overtime and be decided on special teams, with a blocked punt being returned for a touchdown to seal the deal.

It’s never happened before like that, but that’s what predictions are all about.

Crazy, right?

Super Bowl LI Prediction:

Cardinals 34, Raiders 28
