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.

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.

    • Oh please with the wallowing in victimhood I'm going to take my ball and go home routine. You were just in here referring to people as super weird haters because they don't completely agree with your borderline delusional spin on what Bryce Young is and isn't as a fourth year starter. We can hope by some miracle that Bryce Young will actually be able to lead a formidable passing offense this season without being irrational homers and pretending verfiable data and what we have seen with our own two eyes doesn't tell us exactly what he has been to this point which is someone who moves the ball at a historically low rate.
    • I am curious who's behind all of this though. A video and photos from years ago surfacing? Someone has a vendetta and is driving this PR campaign. I'm loving it, but I'd also like to know who said mystery figure is. 
    • I say positive things about Bryce when he earns them. Which he has a handful of times. It is all here and on the record but your lobby won’t focus on that or the flat out truth inside of our critical comments.  It is a constant thing with him and his backers - one or two good things and people are trying to extrapolate that to proof we should commit to him, while ignoring or making excuses for the larger portion of his track record.  When he is able to consistently turn in franchise QB extension worthy outings the tone of the posts will reflect that.  I have already said that if he would play like he did in the WC as often as we need him to, I would be okay with keeping him.  See you don’t want to talk about that though because it shows actual fair minded evaluation not stanning.
