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.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      Basically agree.  He is the one of that bunch that offers upgraded pass catching along with he is supposed to be kind of special.   Then you have the OL and the ideas that if they perform you can have JAG backs and still do well. So okay we could be fine.  But Brooks is important and to me that receiving element sets him apart.  So there sure is something riding on him.     What strikes me as incongruent is people over in Atlanta or those that follow them look at Penix with a third surgery and act like it is no big deal.      And we are on pins and needles over Brooks.  Either they should worry a lot more or we should worry a lot less.

      I usually go a game or two optimist over the consensus here but this is too early for me to say. I need to see some players on the field.  I am not feeling real optimistic though.

      Okay as a ‘take CJ’ fan I actually don’t obsess over CJ and Houston, contrary to the narrative.  But I thought I picked up some noise that his OL left a lot to be desired.    Not a single Beyce supporter would judge him harshly if he had a crappy OL. We all know that.    So be fair about it.  A QB needs to be protected.  Especially a guy that gets to his spot and wants to finish the play from there. Which CJ is.
