Carolina at Indianapolis

There is a lot of "what could have been" for these teams as we head into the last weeks weeks of the regular season. Both looked like solid playoff teams early in the season, but Indianapolis is just 1-6 in its last seven games and the Panthers just 1-7 in their last eight. Indianapolis had must-win games vs. Tampa Bay and New Orleans and couldn't get it done, so I'm not sure how much they bring on this week with nothing left to play for. Carolina has named Wil Frier at QB this week and rookie QBs have done very well this season and he does have the best player on the field in Christian McCaffrey against what is likely a disinterested Indianapolis defense that has allowed 31 points or more in three straight games all of which were must-win situations. Take Carolina.
