Prediction:

Both of these teams have a lot to prove. The Denver Broncos want to show the rest of the NFL that last season’s championship year was no fluke. As for the Panthers, they want to erase all their doubts and avoid the Super Bowl loss hangover.

I honestly believe that this game could come down to the performance of Trevor Siemian. As I stated early on, if he can limit turnovers and at least give the defense a break here and there, then this is a winnable game for the Denver Broncos.

Cam Newton still has not forgotten the Super Bowl loss and will be looking to be fired up and giving his all against the top defense in the league last year.

For the Denver Broncos this season, the defense will most likely decide a good majority of their games, like they did last year.

One of my bold predictions is that C.J. Anderson will have over 100 yards rushing. I really believe he can do great things for the offense this season.

This score was difficult to predict, but I can never doubt the Denver Broncos. The defense gives the Broncos their first win to open up their title defense.
