Broncos-Panthers and Week 8 Picks

This is a trap game for the Broncos. At 4-3, they are hosting the 1-6 Panthers, who have been the worst team in the league this year, and Denver has the Ravens and Chiefs the next two weeks. The Broncos should cruise to an easy victory. But, there are never really easy weeks in the NFL, and I don't like how the Broncos are such big favorites. Bryce Young is going back into the starting lineup after getting benched in Week 2, so who knows how he will play. The matchup on paper favors the Broncos, but I just can't trust the Broncos yet. I need to see it more consistently. This game makes me nervous.

Prediction: Carolina (+9) over DENVER

Final Score: Panthers-20 Broncos-17
