Schefter is picking the Panthers this week.

I'm kind of surprised anyone is, but maybe he's on the Camwagon too now.

Shefter FTW!

Cowherd thinks we will win as well......Cam Fever spreading.

It's a different experience to have a team that can manage to inspire confidence in the talking heads by virtue of talent. In the past even when we've done well there has been surprise that we pulled it off.

I could get used to it.

I want to pick them too

But I'm tired of them mf'ers taking away our TD's. Happens this game, Rivera needs to let it be heard. 5th week this week, its getting time

[CLTPanther]

Well we should have beat the Bears, could have beat the Cheeseheads.. so..

last week the run game worked

slowly the offense is clicking

Devin Hester will be in Detroit

Surely we cannot be snake bitten by another horrible call as bad as that Shockey BS last week

Applewhite is the answer to our run stop (:))

[PntherPryd]

Home field won't hurt either. I like the pick. :)

Speaking of run defense, I noticed in the Chicago game that they used Fua and Fields together at DT as the game wore on, kind of a jumbo package on the defensive side of the ball.

They were effective at stopping inside runs. Unfortunately, the LB's decided to take the rest of the game off, so they just gashed us on the outside.

Sadly, Darren Sproles won't.

Will he play? With the other signings like Fields they usually took the first week to learn the plays and didn't get on the field until the second.

It's a win/win pick for Schefter to make. If we win, he looks like a genius. If we lose, well, we should've won but beat ourselves again.

eagles over the bills huh?

Hellkite! Don't jinx us!

I personally don't think it will ever end. Panthers are constantly getting shafted by the refs. On the other hand we have had soooooo many procedural calls this year...false starts, illegal formations, etc. Panthers need to get their act together and then maybe the refs won't be all over every little shove. Still...I think in Charlotte that Shockey play is a TD.

On Schefter...he's going out on a limb I guess. The thing about those picks is that there really doesn't have to be logic behind it, not based on the way the game will be played. He's just hedging his bets thinking that if he can pick an upset, he can claim to have some kind of "expertise."
