Week 5: at Detroit

The Carolina Panthers will once again head out on the road, this time heading to the Motor City to take on the Lions. Matthew Stafford took a major step forward in his career last year as he helped the Lions get to the playoffs.

The key to this game will be the Panthers’ defense ability to stop Stafford and this offense. If they slow him up, Cam Newton can beat this defense. The Panthers rebound here and get their fourth win in five games.

Result: Win (4-1)
