Panthers vs. Cardinals: What to expect, prediction and best bets
By Dean Jones
Could the Carolina Panthers make it back-to-back wins when they take on the Arizona Cardinals at Bank of America Stadium?
It’s hard to believe we are already approaching Week 4 of the 2020 season. Plenty thought we wouldn’t even get competitive action this year with COVID-19 health concerns continuing across the country. But despite an issue with the Tennessee Titans this week, everything has gone relatively according to plan.
The Carolina Panthers are going into their game against the Arizona Cardinals with plenty of confidence following an eye-catching victory at the Los Angeles Chargers last weekend. They made hard work of it, but the main thing is that they got there in the end.
It wasn’t perfect, not by any stretch of the imagination. Carolina’s offense scored just three points in the second half and they were unable to make the most out of their red zone opportunities early on which would have put the game out of sight.
There were also plenty of positives to take away from the triumph. The Panthers got some clutch kicking from Joey Slye, their defense overall was much-improved and the front seven finally managed to generate some pressure.
Sunday’s encounter is another stern test of their resolve. The Cardinals have a superstar quarterback in Kyler Murray and plenty of talented individuals on both sides of the ball who can make things happen at the drop of a hat.
Let’s take a look at what we can expect from the game, the best bets ahead of the clash, and a prediction on the final score.
