Patriots at Panthers 8:40 P.M. ESPN
Synopsis:
The Patriots are coming off a bye week which followed their
blowout win over the Steelers and the Panthers are on a 5 game winning streak
making for an interesting game.
The Patriots had a sluggish start to the season but have
since been able to improve on offense scoring at least 27 points in each of
their last 4 games including 55 points against the Steelers. The Patriots must continue to improve, but
they will have an obstacle in the Panthers defense which has been tough. Luckily for the Patriots Aqib Talib has a
chance to be back on the field for this pivotal matchup, that will be huge for
the Patriots.
The Panthers defense is ranked among the best this season,
and quarterback Cam Newton has been finding his groove and has been playing
well in a stretch of games which is a must for a franchise quarterback. The running game is back and Newtown has
seemed to find rhythm with his receivers, and as stated the defense is not easy
to score on, they have not allowed more than one touchdown in each game during their
5 game winning streak.
Prediction:
Patriots figure out how to score on the Panthers defense and
win 24-17.
