Is favored by double digits is certifiably INSANE. I know Carolina sucks, but REALLY??????

Yeah. I'm on Carolina.Comment -
yup, carolina or nothing.Comment -
Carolina IS that bad... plain and simpleComment -
Yep, I am on Panthers +10 and also have them +17 in a teaser.Comment -
Yes, Carolina is bad but Cleveland is still Cleveland and Jake Delhomme is still Jake DelhommeOriginally posted by Dark HorseComment -
VERY LONG WINDED....but this is my analysis from my 3 team 6pt teaser thread I locked in:
Carolina +16
-now THIS is a spot where I will take the panthers ALL day!!!
-lots of reasons:
-talking about defense again.....panthers have only lost 2 games by 16 or more all season......against.....SAINTS and RAVENS lol, and even in the
1st game they played against the saints they were on the road and only lost by 2.
- Browns are ranked 23rd currently on defense.
- Panthers don't put up a lot of offense really, BUT neither does CLE....there's only been 2 games all season where the Browns have even put up more
than 20....I know it's weird because they put up their most points on NE and NO where they had 34 and 30 for those 2 games, BUT....you also have to
dig a little deeper to remember WHY they got those points in those games.
Against NO, Drew Brees had one of his worst if not THE worst game of his season so far throwing 4 picks, which yes they caused but why haven't they
done that to any other QB this year? and why hasnt Brees thrown that many in any other game? (4 picks is over 25% of his season total in this one
game. I know why.....because it was a FLUKE!
Also in the NE game it had a lot of reasons behind the points as well. Right off the bat you got the Coaching duel. Mangini wanted this game BAD!!
and the Patriots and Brady put up points! Point blank! That's just what they do...so in order to keep up/WIN you must do the same. But where did the
points come from? Oh yeahhhhhh, Peyton Hillis had a CAREER game and rushed for 184 yds and 2 tds.....(in his last 4 games which INCLUDES this game
184 yds makes up for just under 50% of his TOTAL yds). Also, Colt McCoy scrambled in for a TD (he has great mobility....) which brings me to my next
point
-THE QB: Jake Delhomme is starting. They will be without McCoy who has an arm and can get around pretty good....Delhomme CAN'T! This guy has only
played a game and a half pretty much and already has 4 INTs LOL.
- Nickname for him is "Injury Prone, Jake Delhomme"!!! This guy could end up injured again in the 1st quarter and then who goes in?! LOL
I mean, Panthers D isn't the greatest either but I'm willing to bank that they can keep Jake in check here.
- I'm not even going to get into how the entire public expects the Browns to SLAUGHTER the "lowly Panthers" because alllll they can remember is how
they got screwed on NE and NO when they bet THEM and they think this is payback (from the books) for when they got screwed in those spots LOL
In all seriousness though and to sum this one up, I just CAN'T see how they lose by MORE than 16, I mean that's if they even lose...I might even
put a small wager on the Carolina ML getting +389 right now.....just sayin tho.Comment -
In 8 of their 10 games they have lost by double digits, they are on the road, and are starting back ups at some key positions....
what do you expect the line to be?Comment -
it's best to stay away from this game.Comment -
now that statement ^^ is something I can agree withComment -
for me Carolina +9,5 is play!Comment -
Id stay away...Carolina is such a train wreckComment -
betting the o/u would b better. 2 s#itty teamsComment -
Jake has won games in NFL
Could be a blowoutComment -
Something is fishy with this line imoComment -
agreed, who know's what going to happen in cleveland? i can understand teasing the panthers. jake is a train wreck.Comment -
Want to hear something sick? Jake is making 20 million this year... Carolina is still paying him 12.75 million, and Cleveland is paying him 7 mil.Comment -
Dellhome needs to just hand the ball off to Hillis, and they'll be OK.Comment -
Jeff Saragins ratings say the Browns should be -14
The Browns are -10
Jake's bad games are bad but this guy can throw TD passes and has nearly won a super bowl. WTF have guys like David Garrard, Jason Campbell, Troy Smith ever done? WTF has Janet Claussen ever done? Carolina is awful with their injuries and all, and they aren't even competitive. Cleveland whooped up on the Patriots who people now think can't even be beaten.Comment -
Carolina is an arena league team. I wouldn't bet on them if I was using someone else's money.Comment -
I have no problem fading Carolina hereComment -
The linesmakers made the Browns a 10 point favor for a reason. I don't know why but they do. If it was because they did't know who would be starting then why wouldn't the line move after Manwienie announced that Jake was the starter?
All week long I was thinking take the points but after the day I had yesterday I may have to flop and go with the Browns. Delhomme may be anxious to get back his starting position and have the game of his life.
Being a Brownstown resident I will lay off of this game because I don't want the hometeam heart factor to weigh in on my decision. I will be rooting for them though.Comment -
Carolina has the worst offense the NFL has probably ever seen. I believe they were the first team to not score a offensive touchdown in exhibition games.
Now into the regular season they still can not score and are down to a 4th string RB and 4th string QB.Comment -
This game is a toss up if I have ever seen one. Browns may slaughter Panthers but at the same time they may only win by a touchdown. Not touching this.Comment -
Carolina is 2-8 ATS
Average loss is by 15.33 points a game
Jake has played some good football in his career he will come out with his try hard pants on against Carolina.
Clausen will continue to be lost at qb.Comment -
It's Carolina or don't bet for sure. Carolina in a teaser is excellent.Comment -
Panthers are just awful though.Comment -
Books are trying to draw us to Carolina with the double-digit spread. It's Cleveland or no play.Comment -
Who is Carolina starting?Comment
