NFL Free Premium Play 09/15: Carolina Panthers @ Buffalo Bills

  
Carolina  at Buffalo 
NFL Week 2 - 203 Carolina Panthers @ 204 Buffalo Bills


Projected Line: Carolina by 6 points


Carolina played a good game last week against Seattle, especially on their defense. They stopped Marshawn Lynch very well (2.7 Y/C), but Russell Wilson was quite sharp with 23/33 C/ATT and defeated them at the end. On the Panthers' offense, Cam Newton didn't have a good passing game, while their running game worked quite well with 134 rushing yards and 5.2 Y/C! Now at Buffalo, I have no doubt that Carolina's defense will have another good performance. Buffalo's offense didn't impress me last week against New England and I expect them to struggle even more against a good defensive team such as Carolina.

So, the key for this game will be on the matchup between Carolina's offense and Buffalo's defense. New England's running game exposed once again Buffalo's poor run defense last week with 158 rushing yards and 4.5 Y/C. Carolina's running game was impressive against Seattle and now against one of the poorest run defenses of the league, I expect them to look good once again. In terms of the passing game, Buffalo's pass defense looked competent against the Patriots last week, but New England's receiving corps is so depleted right now that Tom Brady can't do a lot right now, as seen already on their week 2 game against the NY Jets as well. I believe Cam Newton should be able to have a decent passing game in here, so I believe Carolina is the better team and that they'll prove this today with a comfortable win.

Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 203 Carolina Panthers (-3) @ -115 / 1.87 on Bookmaker
