Carolina Panthers vs Denver Broncos Prediction
I’ll stick with the Broncos. Denver posted a pretty good-looking road win over the Saints in their last outing, giving up just 271 yards (174 passing), 4.1 yards per play, and 15 first downs. Offensively the Broncos mustered 389 total yards (225 rushing) with 6.4 yards per play and 22 first downs. Denver wasn’t great on third downs (4-of-11) and committed seven penalties, though.
As for Carolina, they’re coming off a very rough effort in their blowout loss to Washington. The Panthers mustered just 180 total yards (85 passing), 4.2 yards per play, and 10 first downs along the way. Carolina gave up 421 yards (214 rushing), 26 first downs, and 6.7 yards per play on the other side. It’s going to take a big bounce-back effort for the Panthers to cover this weekend and I don’t think they’ll get there.
