The Denver Broncos visit the Carolina Panthers on Sunday in a Week 9 AFC-NFC crossover that has drawn a full week of preview coverage, from expert picks to betting breakdowns.
Yahoo Sports rolled out a preview series covering the game's biggest storylines, key matchups and expert predictions, with Carolina's reset on defense flagged as the central narrative heading into the matchup. The NFL also released its own video preview of the showdown.
On the betting side, CBS Sports published SportsLine's Week 9 guide, pulling together spreads, props, parlays, DFS plays and season-long fantasy picks from its Vegas experts and projection model — the Broncos-Panthers line among the slate it covers.
The volume of preview content reflects a matchup with real angles on both sides: Denver traveling east off its own midseason evaluation, Carolina trying to show its retooled defense can hold up against an AFC opponent. Expert consensus and model leans are split across outlets, which usually signals a tighter game than the records suggest. Kickoff is Sunday.
