***please use the same format for your post -- score, then reasoning. thanks***

27-17 panthers

i know this has been predicted as a high scoring game, and panthers are the 2.5 point underdog according to vegas, but i think that the panthers are going to host a long hard hitting running game. keeping the giants defense on the field for sustained drives, and preventing the giants from finding a rythym. Deep passes will lead to more TD's than Field goals and with lafell's play last week, expect lots of 3 reciever sets, and single covereage, i predict the panthers are going to get aways from the zone read, and play more power football with some quick hits on the edges when the giants show pass defense. The crowd should be much louder and playing under the lights on primetime is probably going to help the panthers enthusiam.

37-34 panthers

i guess for my reasoning...

both offenses are clicking. i think theirs might be a little better, at least as far as the passing game is concerned, but ours is more balanced. i think our defense might be a little better than theirs right now...not their pass rush, necessarily, but overall.

i think it ends up being a pretty big shoot out with quite a few lead changes but in the end we rise above.

Both teams coming off of hard fought emotional wins. I think NYG really should be more exhausted than us, plus we are at home so I think we have an advantage there. They have given up a lot of points, so I expect us to have success on offense. Eli and Co. did amazing things in that 4th quarter vs. the Bucs, but they have not looked great at times this season. Giants D has given up an inexplicable amount of yards and points so far.

These signs point to the momentum being in our favor. I like our chances at home.

Panthers 31-26

    • Actually that 4400 was based on a 16 game season to match Bryce's 16 games this year. Your offense has to be to drive the ball when it matters. Bryce doesn't do that with any level of consistency. If you're building a team that isn't focused on your QB, then fine. Then there's no need to pay Bryce as a franchise QB because literally anyone else will do. If you're going to pay him 50m plus per season, you have to be able to put the team on his shoulders and know he's going to carry the load. So far, when the pressure is on to get it done, Bryce has fallen miserably short of the target. 4-6 to finish out the season and 0-2 when all we need is a win to secure a playoff spot isn't stepping up and proving yourself as a franchise QB. I'd say it's quite the opposite.  There isn't a single coach in this league that would take Bryce over Burrow and very few if any that would take Bryce over Prescott. Hurts didn't have to throw in 2025 because Philly's defense was disgusting and Saquan had a MVP season. But then again, Hurts has shown that he can when it counts, and then there's his signature. Philly runs the tush push to lethal perfection, but that's a play we can't even consider with Bryce. You used 3 QBs from teams that had no defense to show QB stats don't always matter. When we had the worst defense in the NFL, we didn't see Bryce step up and carry the offense and put up gaudy numbers in a losing season because we were playing catch up. It was pretty much the opposite.  What have we seen from Bryce consistently to consider offering him a top 10 NFL franchise QB level contract? At the end of the day, that's all that matters.   
    • I mean, what fanbase has high expectations when you have a QB like Bryce leading your team?
    • If you pay Bryce $50M a year you greatly limit your ability to put the type of team around him you need to have to have a chance to win. THAT is the problem. Hell, we can't win with him on a rookie contract. How the hell are we supposed to start winning with him paying him like a franchise QB and having to make tough roster decisions to accommodate his cap hit?
