What there is to know
The Carolina Panthers homestand continues as they prepare to face the Arizona Cardinals at 4:05 p.m. ET on October 2 at Bank of America Stadium. The Panthers should still be feeling good after a win, while Arizona will be looking to regain their footing.
Carolina beat the New Orleans Saints 22-14 last Sunday. Carolina WR Laviska Shenault Jr. filled the stat sheet, catching two passes for a touchdown and 90 yards. Baker Mayfield’s 67-yard touchdown down the left side of the field against Shenault Jr. in the fourth quarter was one of the most memorable moments of the afternoon.
Special teams had ten points for Carolina. K Eddy Pineiro delivered a perfect 3-on-3 match.
Meanwhile, Arizona fell short against the Los Angeles Rams last Sunday, losing 20-12. One thing that worked slightly against the Cardinals was the regular game by their most targeted running back, RB James Conner, who rushed for 39 yards on 13 carries.
Special teams were responsible for all team points. K Matt Prater delivered a perfect 4-on-4 match.
This next game should be close, with the Panthers only a 1.5 point favorite. But bettors beware: they are 0-2 ATS when favored.
Carolina’s win took them to 1-2 while the Cardinals’ loss put them back to an identical 1-2. A pair of stats to keep in mind while watching: Carolina enters the contest with just one interception thrown, which is the best in the NFL. Arizona is quite their equal: they also come into the game with a thrown interception. So expect both teams to feel comfortable spreading the ball.
