Panthers vs Texans Prediction
Those who have followed me over the years know my handicapping in preseason is all about the quarterback position. The rest of the positions are toss-ups, and you have no idea who is going to play nd for how long. The one constant thing is decent quarterback play and the guys who can put points on the board.
I’m looking at the over in this spot. The Texans found offensive success in their last game, and the Panthers have had a field day offensively all preseason. Mills and Pickett are experienced quarterbacks who can sustain drives against lesser competition, and Trask looked good for Carolina in his last performance. The total is reasonable. I see points in this contest. Give me the over.
