Carolina Panthers (vs. Denver Broncos)
The Carolina Panthers are now 3-4 on the season and were the TNF game in Week 8, falling to the Green Bay Packers. After two huge wins in a row, the Panthers have gone backwards and have now dropped two in a row, and all they have to do on Sunday is face the 6-2 Denver Broncos, a team that feels unbeatable at times.
The Broncos erased an 11-point fourth quarter deficit against the Kansas City Chiefs and, once again, came through late in the game. Denver is more healthy than Carolina right now and have a plethora of roster advantages. The Carolina is now 11-13 since the start of the 2025 season and just have not taken that next step after a division-winning season last year.
While Bryce Young has played well, for the most part, he has has failed to hit a 100+ passer rating over his last three games, after doing so in three of four games to begin 2025. The Panthers are trending in the wrong direction and get to face a Broncos team with an elite pass rush that should easily be able to take advantage of a bad Panthers offensive line.
Denver wins this one.
Las Vegas Raiders (@ San Francisco 49ers)
The Las Vegas Raiders are able to score points, but they aren't good at stopping the other team from scoring points. Not only that, they get the San Francisco 49ers off the bye, which feels like a blowout waiting to happen. While the 49ers did lose in Week 7, they're still 6-1 on the season and might just be the most balanced team in the sport.
The injuries are quite a bit, but this bye surely helped the team get healthy, and while the Raiders have definitely played better than expected, they are, optimistically, a couple of years behind in terms of team building to where the 49ers are right now.
This is simply a game of a really good team facing a team that is average, at best. Count on a 49ers win.
