Arizona has become a fun team to watch as Kyler Murray has certainly upgraded the flat Arizona offense. He has thrown for 657 yards in his first two games. Meanwhile, Cam Newton has looked injured, and apparently he is. He is apparently trying to play through a foot injury. Through two games, Newton has five carries for -5 yards. This has resulted in a line change here of Carolina -3.5 to Carolina +2. It's an over-reaction, even if Cam doesn't play. Heck, at this point maybe Kyle Allen could provide a spark. Which QB is Arizona's defense preparing for? Despite Murray's gaudy stats, the Arizona offense has really struggled in the red zone as David Johnson hasn't gotten untracked yet. In their loss to Baltumore, the Cardinals settled for three field goals after getting inside Baltimore's 5-yard line. How will they do vs. Luke Kuechly and this Carolina defense? Back the Panthers in what is a must-win for htem. Also take the OVER. These teams combined have allowed 100 points through two weeks. Under Ron Rivera, the Panthers are 26-8 OVER in games played on turf and also 18-7 OVER in games following a poor offensive showing (14 or fewer points scored). Go with the Panthers and the OVER.
