Here's how I see it Denver's defense will keep this game close. They will shut down the run and pressure Cam all day long this won't be a cake walk for the Panthers.
Peyton knows he is not the answer and will manage the game if they can get the game into the fourth quarter, perhaps a FG wins the game.
The last 5 games the Panthers have out scored the opponents 114-24 in the first half, so Denver knows it needs to be sharp from the get go and the taste of SB48 is probably still in the minds.
I also think Denver will run the rock well, The panthers have good running stats on the defense but they also bury teams early and those teams then have to play catch up by throwing. The run game will keep Kuechly and Davis in check and with his arm being broken I got think they will be running at Davis alot. That should open up the passing game and although Josh Norman is a beast the Denver receiving corps are deep enough to challenge the Panther secondary.
