Similar to what happened last week with New Orleans, we have a team in Carolina that just isn't getting the respect it deserves, despite a very strong start. The public still believes that Carolina is no good but this isn't the same team that went 1-15 last year. Rodney Peete is playing better than he ever has and the Panthers have the #2 defense in the NFL after two weeks. New head coach John Fox has this team playing with confidence while the 0-2 Vikings are reeling. The Panthers know they can take this one because their one win last year came against (you guessed it) the Vikings in the Metrodome. Minnesota is allowing 36 points a game. Go with Carolina and the upset!
