Prediction: Saints at Panthers
I hate to do this because no matter how I feel, I always predict a Panthers loss. But this week feels different. This team has no choice but to go out on Sunday and win, and win big.
The Saints are bad, and the Panthers, at home, are better than average. Bryce needs a strong game for his confidence and for momentum heading into the back end of the schedule. His numbers last week were nothing special, but the wind was brutal and the game plan made sense. Now he needs to look sharp and efficient.
Rico needs to run wild. The Panthers need to control this one from start to finish with no turnovers on offense, at least one takeaway on defense, and complete command on both sides of the ball.
