Carolina Panthers-6
Teaser Carolina Panthers ML + Rams-1 x2
As a Tampa Bay fan, it's hard to acknowledge that Panthers might go and win this division. Norv Turner has been doing a great job, which we could see already in the preseason, turning this offense up a notch and especially the rushing attack. Their rushing attack will be a great matchup for Panthers against Giants' #29 ranked rush defense according to DVOA. A long with that, Norv Turners use of McCaffrey isn't good for Giants, who gives up 6th most fantasy points to running backs, allowing 7 total TDs to RBs (rushing and receiving).
And with this Giants team averaging like 16 points per game since 2016, this Carolina defense will be in a good spot, with an underrated secondary against Eli Manning who doesn't take risks anymore. Kuechly is playing really well and will give Barkley a hard time.
In Rams@Seahawks we might see the most lopsided offensive coaching matchup this season, with McCoy going up against Schottenheimer (hope I spelled that one right). Also, Seattle's defense has been good thanks to interceptions, and with Earl Thomas gone they will not only lose an all-pro safety but also turnovers.
