When:<\/strong>\u00a0Sunday, February 7, 6:30 PM ET<\/p>\n Where:<\/strong>\u00a0Levi’s Stadium, Santa Clara<\/p>\n Line:<\/strong>\u00a0Carolina Panthers (-6<\/strong>) vs.\u00a0Denver Broncos (+6<\/strong>); total 45.5<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0view all NFL lines<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n TV Broadcast:<\/strong> CBS<\/p>\n The Carolina Panthers learned from their mistakes. After seemingly taking their foot off the gas in the second half and allowing the Seahawks to come back into their NFC Divisional game, the Panthers put their foot right in the poor Cardinals\u2019 throat in a merciless 49-15 win.<\/p>\n Apart from a badly-thrown interception, Cam Newton came up with another huge game. He threw for 335 yards and two touchdowns, and ran for two more to lead his team to victory.<\/p>\n The Panthers, who led the league in scoring during the regular season at 31.3 points per game, put up a whopping 80 points in just six quarters against the Seahawks and Cards, the No. 3 and No. 4 defenses per DVOA this season. Pretty impressive stuff.<\/p>\n Of course, 14 of those points came from two Luke Kuechly pick-sixes. Turnovers have been the name of the game for the Panthers all year. The Carolina D led the league with 39 turnovers forced and has added nine more this postseason, with seven coming against the Cards alone.<\/p>\n Manning\u2019s turnover problems this season have been well-documented; he finished second in the NFL with 17 INTs in just 10 games. The Broncos\u2019 offensive line will have trouble blocking the Panthers\u2019 impressive front, which should be able to put Manning under a ton of pressure. That, in turn, should also increase the chances of the Panthers residing in “Thieves Ave.<\/a>” to pounce on any Manning miscues.<\/p>\n Newton, though, is still the X-factor in this matchup. The likely NFL MVP took his game as a passer to another level this season, and he can fearlessly stay in the pocket amidst the Broncos pressure. Meanwhile, his ability to pull off big plays with his legs will be a new wrinkle the Denver D will have to account for.<\/p>\n With Newton, a solid running game (148 yards per game and five total touchdowns in their two playoff games) and a play-making, touchdown-scoring defense, the Panthers just have more weapons at their disposal to beat the Broncos.<\/p>\n Create a betting account now<\/a> and don’t miss out on all the action from the biggest sporting event of the year: Super Bowl 50.<\/p>\n Defense wins championships, and Denver\u2019s D has the team just one win away from that coveted Super Bowl.<\/p>\n The Broncos delivered an absolute master class on that side of the ball against Tom Brady and the New England Patriots.\u00a0Defensive coordinator Wade Phillips devised a picture-perfect gameplan that thoroughly stumped the great Tom Brady. They were able to sack Brady four times and hit him 23 times \u2013 the most any NFL quarterback has been hit in any game this season.<\/p>\n Von Miller, DeMarcus Ware, Malik Jackson and co. were virtually unblockable, and there\u2019s no reason to think they can\u2019t do the same against Carolina. Fueled by that terrific pass rush and above average secondary, the Broncos have been the best defense by a wide margin this year.<\/p>\n There\u2019s no doubting the defense\u2019s ability to dominate a game; however, there are still more than a few question marks about the offense. Peyton Manning (17-of-32, 176 yards vs. New England) is basically a game manager at this point. Meanwhile, the running game, which could only muster 99 yards on 30 carries against the Pats, will have problems moving the ball against a very good Panthers front.<\/p>\n The Broncos have scored just 30 points twice all season, and have played 13 games decided by seven points or less. Their margin for error is extremely thin, and if they fall behind big against the Panthers, Manning probably can\u2019t throw them back to contention.<\/p>\n However, Manning showed with his two touchdowns against the Pats that he still has a couple more big plays left in his tank. He\u2019ll also be working with an extra week\u2019s rest, which could make a big difference.<\/p>\n When it comes down to it, the Denver defense has all the potential to take control of the game and put Manning in a position to win. But if either side of that equation falters, the Broncos would be lucky to avoid getting blown out, much less get the win.<\/p>\n The Panthers (-4.5<\/strong><\/a>) have too much for Manning and the Broncos, as they run away 31-17 winners.<\/p>\nBetting on the Carolina Panthers<\/h3>\n
