Going back to last season, even though they went 15-1, they did show a tendency to blow leads. they blew a big lead vs NYG, blew one vs Indy (went to OT) and also let Seattle mount a bit of a comeback in the playoffs. They won all those games but they lost tonight and this trend could bite them in the behind in this 'Super Bowl Loss Hangover' year.
Unfortunately they have a weak enough schedule coming up, with home games against the 9ers and Bridgeless Vikings on deck. They don't play any tough road games until November, and their toughest opponent in October (arizona) is at home at night. But looking at their schedule after the next 2 games they have 3 div games back to back. Then they have that Cards game at home, at the Rams, and Chiefs at home before the Saints, then at the Raiders and at the Seahawks. I think the majority of those non division games listed above are all good go against spots.
If the Vikings QB situation isn't a total disaster, that might be one as well as they will be possibly more focused on the 3 division games on tap.

If you remember last year Seattle was gagging away leads early in the year all the time. And they were also coming off a year where they lost the Super Bowl.
I'd love to fade them next week, but they get the 9ers at home. But if they win that game handily you might get good value on Minny +points for week 3 when they have all those div games on deck.

I wouldn't fade them at home . They usually blow teams out at home .
Erm, when, last year? So what, they didn't even have a winning record the year before that. So to say they usually blow teams out is exaggerating, they did that in one year where they vastly exceeded anyone's expectations. This is a different year, it's the Super Bowl hangover year and they will struggle to cover if they can't close games out. I guarantee you they won't blow out the Vikings, Cardinals or Chiefs in those home games. Vikes and Chiefs are built similar to Denver, with good defense and running game, Cards have playoff revenge.

Panthers were on the road against the #1 defense and just lost on a missed fg.
Duh, I know that. My point is that they have shown a tendency to blow leads and that I think this will make it tough for them to cover as favorites this year.
Did they or did they not blow a ten point lead? Did they not fail to cover as a fav? Like what is your point?
I think I'll just go to bed now rather than reply to any more blockhead posts like these. Peace.

This is a very optimistic way to see that game. Realistically, they needed 3 Denver turnovers inside the Carolina 30 to even have a chance to win that game at the end. They had a +2 turnover advantage and still didn't win.
This team is flat out overrated, that's it. Trevor Siemian was in his first ever NFL start behind a bad offensive line and they were moving the ball with ease on that Panthers defense.
