Lions vs Panthers Predictions

[grandy]

They've looked bad (borderline terrible) in 3 of their last 4, it's not that much of a stretch.

They looked bad against SF and Atlanta? Those are two quality teams, and they were both really close. Especially SF. A 4th and goal, and their TE gets it by a few inches. If Carpenter takes a good angle, he's stuffed before he gets there, and the Lions win. Explain how thats "bad (borderline terrible)"? Their only bad game was against Chicago. Carolina's D is the opposite of Chicago. Lions win easily. 42-21

You really think those were close, hard fought games?

- Both games were at home where the crowd is supposed to be a factor
- They looked like dogshit in the first half of the Atlanta game and the last 3 quarters of the SF game
- They threw the ball way too much like usual because the running game is atrocious
- Both Atlanta and SF ran well against them (big surprise)
- Any receiver outside of CJ was pretty much non-existent
- The offense was beyond terrible in 3rd downs
- The scores may have been close, but on the field it sure didn't seem that way, the defense was pretty much the only reason the scores were close, but keep in mind the average margin of victory isn't high in the NFL

I'm not convinced at all they even played close to their potential in those games, they can't expect to hang near the top this season if they put out performances like that against "good" teams.

How anyone could think they played even remotely well in those games is beyond me.

We have stomped the bad teams, Denver and KC. But this Carolina team has a little more talent than those teams. Lions win 35-27.

I'm more worried about Cam getting his yards then those 2.

52 to 17 Lions...... Detroit unleashes the offense again, The D also gets 2 pick 6's

You control Newton, you win this game...bottomline.

Spot on, brother...

I'll take the Lions by 8 over Carolina, seeing as I bet on them this week in Vegas and gave up 7.
