I didn't think the Broncos would have much of a shot against New England with their (almost) entire offense back healthy. But the Patriots didn't even attempt to run the ball, whereas the Panthers will make that objective No. 1.
As a football fan, I'd love for it to be an exciting, close game. But I just don't know how Denver will keep up offensively. They'll need an all-world performance from their defense combined with a really, really bad game from Carolina's skill-position players.
