2012 NFL Week 10 Broncos vs. Panthers Picks & Predictions
By Anthony Rome
CHARLOTTE, NC (The Spread) – Can the Panthers pull off the upset today when they host the Broncos at 1:00PM ET? Or will Denver continue to roll?
NFL Odds: According to oddsmakers from online sports book Bovada.lv, the Broncos are 3.5-point favorites versus the Panthers, while the over/under total is currently sitting at 47 points. Denver is 5-3 overall and 2-2 on the road, while Carolina enters play with a 2-6 record and is 1-3 at home.
Line Movement: The Broncos opened as 3-point favorites but the spread has been bet up to 3.5 at most sports books. The total, meanwhile, has been bet down from 48 to 47.

NFL Playoff Free Pick: Take Carolina. According to latest NFL trends, the Panthers are 5-2 against the spread in their last seven games after allowing less than 15 points in their previous contest. The Browns are also 2-5 against the number in their last seven games after accumulating more than 350 total yards in their previous contest. The Panthers are just 1-5 in their last six games but they’ve covered in back-to-back contests and have seemingly started to figure things out. The Bears needed a last-second field goal to beat Carolina two weeks ago and last Sunday the Panthers rolled into Washington and beat the Redskins 21-13 as a 3-point underdog. Meanwhile, Denver has won three straight games and has covered in three straight as well. After traveling to Cincinnati last Sunday this will be the Broncos’ second road game and three of four away from Denver. They’re due for a letdown.
