**Panthers at Patriots**(-5, 43) 1:00 (1 Viewer)

I find the line here to a little wacky, Vegas giving Carolina almost no respect for beating Atlanta last week 30-0
I think this will be a competitive game but maybe Vegas knows something we don't.

Patriots 23...Panthers 20
or
This is gonna be one of those 35-7 type games where the Pats roll them, don't see any way Carolina comes in and repeats what they did last week
 
Lot of talk about Trey Henderson getting more touches this week
Is this just speculation based on the 2-3 fumbles by the 2 guys ahead of him on the depth chart?
Are there local beat writers calling for him to touch the ball more?
Why was Henderson in the doghouse with the coaching staff?

-I'll hang up and listen
Thanks!
 
Arguably the most baffling spread of the week. I don't think the Patriots should be 5-point favorites over anyone.

I think both teams will play more of a ground and pound style this week. NE because its the Panthers defensive weakness, and Carolina because they want to protect their young QB with a banged up OL. Its possible Henderson breaks out, but I'd caution its just as liekly he gets rug pulled and its Stevenson again this week.

I think Chuba Hubbard could have a big game. He's been seeing work in the pass game and was unlucky not to get a TD last week.

I think the Panthers win, and honestly are probably the 2nd best team in the NFC South

There is a lot of "Stephenson is not in trouble / Stephenson is not facing any discipline" rhetoric coming from Vrabel and McDaniels. I don't think they like where Henderson is in pass pro yet. If anything weird happens with distribution of carries I think you might see Gibson and RS flip. Having said all that, sane people gave up trying to figure out NE backfield distribution years ago.

wrt the game, I think this is a get right game for NE...which is surprising for me to say as I've been a pretty negative homer since the season started....maybe puting too much into the fact that Gonzales is FINALLY going to play.

NE 34
CAR 16

Low bar. just sayin. :shades:
 
I don't care for this line at all, tempting to take Carolina but if you think Atlanta might win after getting blown out 30-0, how good do you think Carolina actually is?
Might be an interesting game despite both teams being long shots to make the Playoffs

Speculation. I was trying to trade for him this week but the owner wanted to keep him a bit longer due to this.
 
Despite all the speculation of being benched or at least not starting Stevenson gets the carry on the Pats opening play.
 
Drake Maye looks great...very composed game...McDaniels doing a very good job using his mobility in the passing game.
 
Real nice win for the Pats...Panthers are not good and outside of the opening drive they dominated them in all three phases of the game...biggest thing is Drake Maye's development...I really like the direction he is headed and he seems to be getting more comfortable in the McDaniel's system (and vice versa)...next four games are at Buffalo, home with the Saints, at Tennessee and home with the Browns...if they are gonna flirt with the playoffs they have to go 3-1 here...still a long way to go but this was a nice step forward.

Henderson was not a featured RB today, saw Gibson 6, Rhamondre 9 in a blowout game...this is full blown no idea who they want to rely on
