Denver Broncos DFS Spin
Drew Lock completed 15-of-28 passes for 151 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions in the Broncos’ Week 13 loss to the Chiefs. Lock made his return after spending last week on the COVID-19 list. He kept the Broncos close after a Week 12 blowout but continued to struggle with turnovers and missed throws. This was just the third multi-touchdown game for Lock in nine starts, and he has seven interceptions over his last three appearances. Lock will remain a low-end QB2 for a matchup with the Panthers next week.
Carolina Panthers DFS Spin
Teddy Bridgewater completed 19-of-36 passes for 267 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in the Panthers’ Week 12 loss to the Vikings. Bridgewater had a very forgettable day as a passer. He should’ve had D.J. Moore for a long touchdown and then missed him again for an easy red zone touchdown late in the game. Bridgewater is a fine starting quarterback but there seems to be a ceiling even with quality offensive pieces around him. On the last offensive play of the game during a two-minute drive, Bridgewater took a big hit and was barely able to move his arm while spiking the ball to stop the clock. He looked to be in pain while jogging off for the field goal attempt. It’s unclear how serious his injury is, but the Panthers at least have the Week 13 bye to heal up.
Broncos vs. Panthers Week 14 Prediction
The under is 11-4 in the Broncos’ last 15 games played in the month of December, is a perfect 4-0 in their last four games overall and has cashed in four straight when Denver is an underdog. On the other side, the under is 4-1 in the Panthers’ last five home games and has cashed in 35 of Carolina’s last 52 home games when facing an opponent with a losing road record.
