A weekend of rest is exactly what the Carolina Panthers needed after two losses in five days sunk the hopes that most fans had of making some noise this season. Now they turn to a battle of first place teams. The 3-4 Panthers are putting their first place standing in the NFC South up against the AFC West-leading 6-2 Denver Broncos.
The Broncos are a healthy team, relative to the Panthers and feature both a talented defensive line and a successful passing game. The Panthers, if you will recall, have been incapable of fielding either a healthy secondary or a competent offensive line in recent weeks. I’m sure this will be great.

On the one hand, this seems generous. On the other hand, the Panthers do have a habit of doing anything other than what we expect. I’ll have to wait for any injury news before I make up my mind on the game. Pay close attention to the names Damien Lewis, Jaelan Phillips, and Brady Christiansen this week.
