The Panthers still have their all-star quarterback Cam Newton.

Biggest Carolina Advantage: The vaunted Carolina Panthers defense will be facing Broncos QB Trevor Siemian, who has a sole kneel down as his entire professional portfolio.
Get ready Panthers fans, it’s game day!
The game will kick off at 8:30 p.m.at Sports Authority Field in Colorado.
Feel the Broncos will be just fine without Manning? We’d start Benjamin, but wait on Ted Ginn Jr., Devin Funchess and Corey Brown to see what their role in the offense looks like. While the Broncos have an outstanding record for home openers, the Panthers have shown recently that they have what it takes to create an upset.
Panthers tackle Mike Remmers was originally signed as an undrafted free agent by the Broncos in 2012.
Apparently, every member of the Broncos who received a Super Bowl 50 ring will also receive an additional tax bill. Thomas will look for a better individual performance versus Carolina as he will likely be shadowed by rookie cornerbacks as opposed to Pro Bowler Josh Norman, who signed a five-year, $75 million deal with Washington in the offseason. But if he starts performing well and efficiently, he may an interesting option as a fantasy backup or the second option in a two-QB league.
The return of Kelvin Benjamin will help the Panthers WR core make more plays against Denver’s tough secondary.
Like in every season opener, many questions surround every team, from can the Broncos repeat (not likely) as Super Bowl champions, to how will Tom Brady’s four-game suspension affect the New England Patriots, to which squad will become this year’s surprise team (insert Oakland Raiders).

I think Cam Newton leads Carolina into Denver and gets a close win.
