The Denver Broncos open up as 2.5 point road favorites against the Carolina Panthers. The total is 35, and both numbers are courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook.
It has been a difficult season for both of these teams. However, the Broncos are feeling the sting a little more, as their preseason expectations were relatively high. But here we are in Week 12, and Denver is just 3-7 overall. The Broncos playoff hopes have pretty much vanished after losing six of their last seven games. Despite that, Denver rolls into this game as a small favorite against another struggling team.
The Panthers check into this contest with a 3-8 record. However, they have more excuses than the Broncos for the underwhelming product on the field. Carolina fired their head coach and traded star running back Christian McCaffrey earlier this year. The Panthers are clearly in rebuild mode. The standings reflect that, as Carolina has lost six of its last eight and three of its last four.
