Analysis:
Washington Commanders (ATS) .. As the weeks go by & the season gets older, we can continuously know that the Panthers just aren't it again this year. They thought a switch in the QB's would do wonders. But, Andy Dalton has been looking very shaky himself over the past couple of weeks now. Is it time to change back to Bryce Young? Honestly, I think so. But, as long as Dalton is in there, I'll gladly take advantage of it. Even though Washington lost last week, the Commanders still looked very strong. #2 overall pick in this past draft, Jayden Daniels, has looked every bit as good as Caleb Williams if not better this year. He's a real treat to watch if you get the chance. Having said that, he's led this Washington team to a 4-2 start this season. Not only are they just winning games, but they also put up huge amounts of points, averaging 29.7 PPG which ranks them tied for second in the entire NFL. On the other hand, Carolina is near the bottom in PPG averaging just 17.2. The Panthers also have one of the worst defenses in the entire league, currently allowing the leagues most at 33.8 PPG. With these teams having not played since 2021, this is a great opportunity for the Commanders to show Carolina how bad they really are. Now, with the -7.5 line, there is always going to be the possibility of this game landing on a seven point win for WSH. But, I don't see that happening here. This should be an absolute blowout this Sunday. Score Prediction: 38-14 Commanders.
