Carolina favored 2.5 against Arizona

While filling out my "Pigskin Pick 'em" bracket on Espn.com today, I noticed that the Panthers are favored 2.5 against the Cardinals. I'm not sure who exactly makes that line, and that whoever it is at ESPN that does tends to favor the home team a greater than usual amount of time, but it still feels kinda good to have someone think we'll win...

That said, this means that if we lose I'll be disappointed for the first time in a while, since I now have some sort of expectation this year.

I hate these people.

Anyway, looking further into it, I'm not an ESPN insider, but did get a chuckle that the preview to this article shows that Carolina has an EDGE in the QB matchup.

(Not sure if this link will work, if not you can get to it from the regular game preview: http://scores.espn.go.com/nfl/preview?gameId=301219029)

No way, I'm taking Cincy to beat Cleveland and Arizona to kill Carolina.

The Cardinals scored 40-something points last week. And their kicker had 25 of those by himself on 5 FGs, a fake FG TD, PATs. The Cardinals kicker scored more points in one game than the Panthers have in 2 weeks.

Playing the Bronco's who may actually be worse than the Panthers right now, because they appear to having given up, which most of the Panthers haven't. Plus Cards must fly cross country, and their history of east coast games ain't pretty.

He had more points than we've scored all year, lol.

But that was really an exceptional performance, and I think we have a very good chance here of winning...

so here's hoping for a Cincy win! =)

Yeah, I'm thinking we have a decent shot at winning this game. Since Fox has no motives about next year to think about, ie he doesn't care about the Panthers getting the #1 pick nor Luck, he'll just go about his normal bidness. Fortunately, that is usually enough for our team to put up a crappy performance. However, this is the time that his teams usually tend to gel and destroy a few teams' playoff hopes. This weekend could spell then end of the Luck conversations, and begin the DT ones.

    • Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet. 
    • oh now that's what you call Mother Fiuggure fans the ones that always have this fierce protective shield around the team no matter if they win or lose  & to be honest there is nothing really wrong with being a Mother Fiugguer fan they just have a different meaning or sense of what a true fan really is                                                 ☺️ 
    • I'd gamble, miles josh green and 2-3 firsts especially if we could trade both this years and 1 future
