Washington Commanders vs Carolina Panthers Prediction

I’m going to stay with the Commanders. The line inflated pretty quickly on this one though, so I’m probably not touching it. Washington left a lot to be desired in their loss to the Ravens back on Sunday. The Commanders went just 4-of-12 on third-down tries and posted just 52 rushing yards. On defense, Washington gave up 484 yards (176 passing), 7.4 yards per play, 28 first downs, 6-of-10 on third-down conversions, and 36:08 in time of possession.

As for Carolina, they gave up 423 yards (198 rushing), 6.2 yards per play, and 25 first downs in the loss to Atlanta over the weekend. The offense came up with 335 yards (221 passing) and a couple of interceptions, while the Panthers committed 10 penalties overall. Carolina needs a lot of cleanup for this weekend, and I don’t quite think they’ll earn a road cover here.
