Denver Broncos – Carolina Panthers: 5 Important Predictions

Denver Broncos They defend their home turf against rivals Carolina PanthersThey are one of four teams with only one win this season. While this was supposed to be an ‘easy’ game for the Broncos, in reality there is no such thing in the NFL.

The bad team is often overlooked, especially with the Broncos’ upcoming schedule.

There are some bold statistical signs to help the Broncos pull off a victory. The Broncos won about 75% of their games when they made at least one of my bold predictions.

These are big and bold but accessible How bad the panthers are. Let’s dive in.

The Broncos’ passing offense was inconsistent, thanks to its boom-or-bust nature; boom or bust, thrives on explosive plays but is weak outside of those explosive plays. They face one of the worst pass defenses in the NFL against the Panthers, which will help the Broncos find consistency in their passing game.

This game will also fix Bo Nix’s footwork without doing too much. These fixes may also carry over to future games, as the goal is to make Nix more consistent when operating in pocket.

Guess: Nix passes for over 200 yards with two touchdowns.

The Broncos have been on the field in recent weeks. Since Week 3, Denver has accumulated at least 109 rushing yards in every game. The Broncos are also allowing a season-high 225 yards receiving. New Orleans SaintsThey accumulated 6.4 yards per rush.

Meanwhile, the Panthers have allowed at least 128 rushing yards in every game except Week 3. Las Vegas Raiders. The Panthers also allowed two games with more than 200 rushing yards, including their Week 7 game. Washington Commanders.

The Broncos will run all over the Panthers defense and have a solid passing game. The Broncos turned in their best offensive performance, going over 400 yards from scrimmage for the first time since Jan. 8, 2023.

The Broncos have only eclipsed 400 rushing yards in a game 10 times between the 2020 season and now. This happened after the Panthers allowed three games over 400 yards in their last three games this season.

Guess: The Broncos rush for over 250 yards and allow for over 400 yards of total offense.

The Panthers did a good job of protecting the quarterback, but they didn’t face a defense like the Broncos that went after the quarterback. The Panthers allowed just 14 sacks this season while having the 10th lowest pressure rate allowed.

But the best defense the Panthers have faced in terms of pressure rate currently ranks 13th, while the Broncos rank 3rd in the NFL.

All but two teams had a much higher pressure rate against the Panthers than their season average. These two teams Atlanta Falconsdesperate for a pass rusher and the Raiders. The Broncos are putting a lot of pressure on Bryce Young as he looks to break the single-game sack record.

Guess: The Broncos get more than eight sacks on Young.

The Broncos are turning all that pressure into takeaways and extra offensive opportunities. Young was benched for poor play, so his three-season tackle total is still relatively low, but he has a higher percentage of plays in terms of turnovers.

Young struggles to protect the ball and the Broncos have success taking the ball away from him. The Panthers will come up short three times depending on how well the Broncos push them.

Guess: Broncos punt the ball three times.

The Broncos’ offense, on the other hand, is not turning the ball over despite the Panthers having six carries with three fumbles and three interceptions. The Broncos had problems protecting the ball; with six turnovers coming from behind the arc, including two each by Javonte Williams and Audric Estime, one by Jaleel McLaughlin and one by Tyler Badie, who is still on injured reserve.

There is an emphasis on the Broncos side to reduce steals and that is reflected in this game. Meanwhile, Nix has done a better job of protecting the ball as a passer and continues to do so without any interceptions.

Guess: The Broncos don’t turn the ball over.
