Panthers vs Steelers Prediction
I don’t like laying more than a field goal in preseason games, but the Panthers have scored a combined 13 points in their first two games, and they’ve lost seven of their last eight preseason games. At some point, it is what it is. Skylar Thompson and Mason Rudolph have played well in the preseason, and they’re going to get all of the reps in this contest. The Panthers are just a tough sell across the board given what they’ve done in the past couple of regular seasons and exhibitions. I don’t want anything to do with this franchise right now. Give me the Steelers by a touchdown.
