First road game, might have some travel cobwebs to shake off. But a third string QB to go up against? I think the D eats.

Week 3 at Houston Texans - Win (3-0). This should not be close if Watson isn't playing. Their team is a mess. If we trotted out our team of TEs against their team of RBs it might would be interesting. They don't have the firepower or the defense to hang. 

W 35-10

Gonna stick with my prediction from the win projection thread before the season. Losing Taylor is a massive blow. Designed runs have not faired well against our defense (ask Kamara). Taylor's scrambling could have made this a game. (Taylor accounts for 55 of the 242 yards gained by Houston on the ground). 

Brandin Cooks needs to have a huge game to make this interesting. If he doesn't get at least 60 yards, that means we won by 21 points minimum. I see CMC getting over 100 rushing yards and over 200 from scrimmage. Texan's run defense has allowed an average of over 4.5 yards a carry. Cooks is held to under 60 yards. Defense gets 5 sacks.

*Side prediction: We win by more than 3 TDs and still go no higher than 15 on most power rankings. (No, I don't care....I'm just saying)

Defense scores. PJ Walker plays. Day One cries.

Damn I don’t want to predict. I know one thing I don’t like how no one is giving Houston a chance. I hope our team ain’t thinking this way to, could be a classic trap game. I know everyone wants to say Mills is a rookie but we literally have no tape on the guy. It’s hard to game plan for that, hopefully it doesn’t backfire on us.

24-10 Panthers.

 

We jump out early and take our foot off the gas, scoring 0 points in the 2nd and 3rd quarter. Texans score in the 4th to make it nervy but we notch another TD to ice it.

[Cary Kollins]

30-0 good guys

 

Panthers defense has their nationally televised coming out party, forcing four turnovers and two scores. 
 

CMC goes for 130+ receiving yards. Terrance gets his first NFL TD. 
 

The league is on notice.

this game will be closer than people think.. i feel like we will see a let down in the Panthers-hype, but we still get out with a W..

17-13, Panthers
