At 7:00pm ET, my NFLX GOY is on Carolina. The Panthers need wins where they can get them. They lost their preseason opener 17-3 against New England. That was against a New England team which was anxious to get a victory. Carolina didn't take that game too seriously as most of the starters didn't play. Having taken some criticism for that decision, the Panthers should now be the more motivated squad. Remember, the preseason team which wants it more is usually the team which covers the spread. Giving most of the backups a chance to start and get lots of reps last week should serve them well. We won with the Jets in their victory over the Commanders. Off that victory, they've got nothing to prove or to gain with a preseason win over one of the worst teams in the opposite conference. Always happen to grab points in a game where I expect the underdog to win outright. Play on Carolina.
