2. Total Touchdowns – OVER/UNDER (3.5)

Everybody is going to be expecting a low-scoring game, and there is a good chance that happens. Still, it would be tough for this game to go without four touchdowns in some capacity. Carolina blew out both the Seattle Seahawks and Arizona Cardinals, two of the best defenses in football.

There is a very good chance that the Panthers are able to generate at least two touchdowns, perhaps even three despite the stoutness of Denver’s defense. On the flip side, Manning has enough left in the tank to punch a touchdown or two across for the Broncos.

3. Longest Field Goal – OVER/UNDER 44.5 yards

Another one where the OVER has to be taken. If you understand jack squat about these two teams, you realize that both have great defenses. Drives are going to stall out, even with guys like Newton and Manning at the helm. With that in mind, some longer field goals are going to be attempted because head coaches Ron Rivera and Gary Kubiak will desperately want points. Plus, Denver kicker Brandon McManus has an enormous leg.
