Official Panthers - Jags Predictions Thread....

I don't see the passing game as a complete unknown. Favorite target Olsen will be available, and Brown, Cotchery, and Dickson caught about 80 passes last year. Ginn is one year removed from regular season Cam throws, but preseason proved they still know each other. 

I know the popular view around here is that our receivers are crap, but aside from Brown's recent dropsie issues, I don't buy it until I see it in the regular season.

Cam throws for 195 yards with 115 of those yards going to Olsen who also has 2 TDs.  The RBs combined top 185 yards with an explosive late game run by CAP to seal the victory.  

Jags go 2 of 9 on 3rd down. 

Panthers win 31-9

I already posted my predictions for the score in the "What the Jaguar fans are saying thread":

Panthers 24 - Jaguars 17

A few other predictions:

1) Deep TD for Ted Ginn

2) TD & 80 yards for Olsen

3)  mixed day for Philly Brown: 3 catches + 2 drops

4) Good Panthers time of possession - 33 minutes+

5) 3 sacks of their QB

6) 2 Panthers takeaways / 0 Panthers turnovers = +2 turnover ratio

7) 1 flashy running back TD.  I'll predict it's by CAP just for fun.  More likely it will be by Stew.

 

You can see a comparison of Panthers vs. Jags preseason stats here, in case you're interested:

Jags surprise us in Opening drive, score 7 points. Defense hunkers down and does its job, sparking offense to do something. 

Cam and company wake up and score. 

 

Special teams scores. Defense scores.
