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.

    • Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.        
    • My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.
    • He wasn't a JAG, he's been a starter every year of his career. Didn't turn into the superstar it seemed like he might his rookie year, but I think part of that has been being misused. Guy was/is a baller.
