33-28 last year, Iikke Denver at +3. Denver comes in with 2 key losses on defense, middle linebacker treviathion and linemen Jackson. Carolina comes in without Norman, who shutdown Demaryius Thomas in the super bowl. Denver's defense is intact and Denver has had one of the strongest home advantages because of crowd noise and the altitude effect, which is stronger early in the year when teams conditioning is not as strong. Carolina's weakness is the secondary and offensive tackles, with Remmer and Oher being mediocre players that could not block Ware or Miller in a neutral venue. Denver completely reworked the offensive line this year, and Okung coming in at left tackle should be a significant upgrade. Denver's offensive line was one worst in the NFL last year, and the upgrades made should make this line above average this year. Denver's offensive line should also be able to give them time to attack the 2 rookie cornerbacks.
