None other than Jarrett Stidham led New England to a comeback victory over the Titans in Week 2 when he threw a 23-yard touchdown pass to Damoun Patterson with 4:12 left. Brian Hoyer finished 6-of-8 for 55 yards as the Patriots showed they have plenty of quarterback depth coming into this week's game against Carolina. Stidham completed 14-of-19 for 193 yards with no interceptions. Damien Harris rushed for 80 yards on 14 carries and Jakobi Meyers had six catches for 82 yards. Carolina did not play Cam Newton in its loss to the Bills and the Panthers did not look good while committing five holding penalties in the first half and their three quarterbacks combined for 22-of-42 for 155 yards and a 62.1 QB rating. Newton is expected to play in three or four series this week, but he'll be rusty after coming back from shoulder surgery. The Patriots have won and covered their first two games improving Bill Belichick's preseason record to 55-44 straight-up and 49-43-7 ATS. Also, both games went UNDER and this week the Pats face the Panthers, who looked bad and undisciplined on offense against Buffalo. Take the Patriots and the UNDER.
