Why Carolina Panthers Will Win

The Broncos have lost their offensive pop.

Throw out the game with no quarterback against New Orleans, but the offense wasn’t working before that and it sputtered against Kansas City last week. Carolina might have its issues offensively, but the defense has been consistent at forcing takeaways.

Denver gives up lots and lots and lots of turnovers with a league-high 28 including two or more in the last four games. As long as the D keeps holding up against the run, the mistakes from the Broncos will come.

CFN Experts Picks: NFL

Why Denver Broncos Will Win

Carolina’s passing game has been hit-or-miss throughout the rough run of six losses in the last seven games.

Denver has a pass rush, the secondary isn’t bad at giving up big plays – there aren’t a lot of them – and overall, the defense is good enough to keep this from ever getting out of hand.

If the defense can just come up with a few takeaways – that’s been a problem with just two in the last four games – the offense could use the break. This won’t be a shootout – Denver just needs to do a little more offensively.

Fantasy Football Player To Watch

WR Robby Anderson, Carolina 
With the Carolina passing game having enough moments to be dangerous, it’s up to Teddy Bridgewater to find Anderson more. He was targeted 13 times against Kansas City, didn’t get much his way, and then hit Minnesota for 94 yards and his second touchdown of the year. He’s all or nothing – in the fantasy playoff, take the chance, and if hits one home run, he has done his job.

What’s Going To Happen

Carolina is coming off a desperately needed week off. It’s not enough to get Christian McCaffrey back, but the team that seemed to hit a wall should be much fresher at home against a Denver team that’s been through the ringer over the last several games. This isn’t going to be a high-scoring shootout, but Carolina’s O is a bit better equipped.

Broncos lose CB A.J. Bouye to suspension ahead of matchup with Panthers

According to a report by Adam Scheftere at ESPN, Broncos cornerback A.J. Bouye has been suspended six games by the NFL.

The Panthers will host the Broncos this week in a matchup between 4-8 teams. While Denver doesn’t have much going on offensively, if you watched their Sunday night game against the Chiefs you know they have a very tough defensive unit. Carolina is catching a break, though.

According to a report by Adam Schefter at ESPN, Broncos cornerback A.J. Bouye has been suspended six games by the NFL.

Bouye came to Denver via a trade with the Jaguars back in March. In 100 career games, Bouye has posted 14 interceptions, 72 passes defensed and 338 combined tackles.

While Bouye being out is good news for the Panthers offense, it won’t matter much if they don’t get their wide receivers back in time for Sunday’s game. Both D.J. Moore and Curtis Samuel are currently on the team’s reserve/COVID-19 list.

The Broncos also still have a lot of playmakers on that side of the ball, including defensive tackle Shelby Harris and safety Justin Simmons, who leads his team with four interceptions this year.
