I think the Panthers defense is over rated. Their success last season came in the first two months of the season where they feasted on backup quarterbacks and rookies. 2. The five wins for Carolina in 2021 were all arguably a bit phoney. They beat Wilson in his first ever start, Mills in his first ever start, Jameis in his second start with New Orleans, Ryan the week after his leading WR abandoned the team and McCoy/Streveler combined for Arizona. 3. If the defense is inflated relative to last season, they are in a tight spot overall as the schedule in 2022 gets a lot more difficult as the Panthers swing from a well below average strength of schedule to above league average. 4. It is very likely Baker Mayfield starting as Ruhle coaches for his job this season, but where does the confidence come from under McAdoo at OC? This is going to be a run heavy team that will skew towards unders. 5. Unfortunately, the market has already shifted. Carolina has one of the lowest win totals in the league and is a favorite in just two games all season. Tough team to peg or bet on or against heading into 2022. |
