Broncos vs. Panthers Prediction: Back Carolina at Home

Broncos will take on the Panthers in Carolina today. Denver coming off a magical win against Kansas City this past week. The Chiefs couldn't score on the one-yard line several times out, and that's how they won. Denver, the best betting team in the NFL at home, but on the road, it's been the opposite story. The Broncos have a couple of wins, but they're against two of the worst teams in the NFL, Yet they are a favorite this week in Carolina. So, naturally, I'm kind of following the Broncos at this point. When they're at home, I don't want to get in their way. But when they're on the road, they don't seem to be the same team. So, I am going to back Carolina today at home here and expect them to get back on the right foot here. If this game was played two weeks ago, Carolina would be three or four-point favorites. But the Panthers have been so bad on defense. It seems like the first halves of their games have been brutal. Total, total 44. In a half in this one, I don't know. I just get the sense that Carolina starts their bounce back. I still see the Panthers as the best team in the division. Have they shown it recently? Absolutely not. No, they have not. It's the offensive line here. The Carolina Panthers have been so bad. And I know the Denver Broncos have kicked the tires in a lot of different pieces, too. They've been looking around for, you know, is Trey McBride available? It was a hard no from the Arizona Cardinals on that. But I do think that Jonah Coleman is that piece to watch here in this game. Jonah Coleman was a guy a couple weeks ago on my show was telling everybody to pick up because after everybody ran to the waiver wire to pick him up and he went on the IR, he got dropped in a lot of leagues because a lot of leagues don't have IR spots. We just get these roster crunches during bye weeks where you have to make hard decisions. And Jonah Coleman is starting to show that he might be the difference maker in this offense and getting a younger running back who is explosive, who can also catch the ball in the backfield with RJ Harvey on the IR. This is Jonah Coleman's moment. I think the over on his rushing receiving total is a great way to go because it gives you more opportunity for him. Last week, he went over a hundred and he had a touchdown in that combo scenario. But as a game, Once again, this feels like a four outcome game to me. You could see either side blowing the other side out. You could see high scoring, low scoring. So for me, I am out. I don't like four outcome games. I don't care for that. And the. Injuries of the Carolina Panthers offensive line have really taken its toll, not just on Bryce Young, but also on Tetairoa McMillan, who has just two touchdowns, two so far this year, both of which came in the same game. Jalen Coker, last couple weeks, has taken a big step back, and that's because every time Bryce Young takes a step back, somebody is up on him, and he can't get rid of the football. So I think a big problem here against a very good defense, but once again, as you put it, Carolina seems to always show up in some of these weird games where you don't expect it either. I think a really difficult one to get a gauge on from a game standpoint.
