(NFL) Carolina vs. Denver, 02/07/2016 1:30 PM, Score: 10 - 24
Point Spread: -4.50 | -114.00 Carolina (Away)
Result: Loss
Taking the PANTHERS here. Going to try to keep this short. I know this is it for Manning. And he and he and the Broncos were run right out of the Meadowlands in their last Super Bowl. For me, Carolina has the OL to hold up against the Broncos pass rush. Cam has the legs to get away from their pass rush. I will tell you this. I don't know how they do it. Last 2 years I thought the Panthers would struggle offensively. All they do is win. Their defense is a bend, don't break unit. I don't care they give up leads. They are in the proverbial 'prevent' you from covering defense. Broncos 2-5 in Super Bowls. Panthers 0-1. Their HC won one as a player with the Bears back in 85. And lost as their DC to Manning and the Colts in 2006. At this point in his career, Manning is not better than Cam. Even with the better WRs. Somehow, someway, Carolina continues to roll up points. Arizona and Seattle don't have bottom feeder defenses. This OL is better NE and Denver won't be getting to Cam like they did Brady. I really don't like how this line keeps climbing and climbing though. I think Carolina wins it in the 37-27 range. 5* Best Bet CAROLINA PANTHERS
