The picks are in for this week’s games, and six of the nine ‘experts’ on SB Nation’s panel believe the Panthers will get the job done against the Eagles tonight. I don’t know what to say about this, because last week almost all of them picked against the Panthers and they were wrong. Does this mean they’re starting to come around on the Panthers, or does it mean they’re just bad at picking games? For our sake, I hope it’s the former.
Anyway, here’s how the ‘experts’ believe our game will go tonight. You’ll probably notice one name in particular that stands out.
Panthers
RVB
Stephen White
Geoff Schwartz
Jeanna Thomas
Bradley Smith

Harry Lyles Jr.

Yes, I am the guest picker for this week. I’ll have more on that later, but for now I wanted to share what the panel thought about tonight’s game.
I think the Panthers will win a close one by virtue of being the home team. I have no science or stats to back this up, I just think the extra day of preparation will help Carolina do just enough to win the game.
This one could really go either way, though. The Eagles are what we would call ‘pretty good’.
Final score prediction
Panthers 21 - Eagles 20
What about you, Panthers fans? How do you see this one turning out?
