Week 14 at Carolina Panthers
Though this is a completely different Panthers team than the one that the Broncos beat in Super Bowl 50, the Carolina fanbase would likely love to see some revenge against the orange and blue.
Not only did the Broncos ruin Carolina’s nearly perfect season in 2015, they also started the 2016 season off by knocking off that same Panthers squad. Cam Newton, who was the league MVP in 2015, has never been the same since the pounding he took in those two games.
This Panthers squad has the same 4-8 record that the Broncos do and instead of Newton, the team has Teddy Bridgewater. But the Panthers also expect to get Christian McCaffrey, one of the league’s best players, back for this game.
McCaffrey has missed much of this season due to injury and he should be hungry to have a big game here.
The Panthers are also coming off of their bye week and the Broncos are coming off a tough loss to Kansas City where they gave the defending Super Bowl champions all they wanted.
It’s tough to see the Broncos getting up for this early road contest and the Panthers will end up beating the Broncos for just the second time ever.
Prediction: Panthers 22, Broncos 17
Broncos record: 4-9
