Carolina looked flat for the first three quarters before scoring two TDs in the fourth quarter against the Rams. The Panthers offense must not become too one dimension with Christian McCaffrey getting too many touches. Jameis Winston struggled with Bruce Arians’ new offense and expect that to continue against a tough Panthers defense and short week to prepare. Take the home chalk in this one. Final Score Prediction, Carolina Panthers win and cover ATS 33-21
