Official Cowboys at Panthers Predictions Thread!

[bigdavis]

Men 31 - Boys 10

We win the toss, defer > 3 and out.  Our 12 play drive capped by RZ TD pass to Funchess.  Our D is dominant, shutting down their run game, and their only TD is a late 4Q garbage score, which we excel at allowing.

 

Keys to the victory are play selection, quick releases, and YAC by Samuel and CMC.  Total yardage and TOP in our favor by 200 yds and 4 minutes.  Nutshell: the superior team wins.

Three TD passes for Cam, and I can't believe I just got down on "Over 23 Reg Season TD Passes" for him!  Free $.

(Been reading the Huddle for 2 months now, and decided to join your fun).  Was a heavy contributor on an inferior site, til they banned me for disagreeing too vehemently with James Dator, the demi-god who started that blog.  I'm 78, and an active NFL watcher and bettor since the 60's, and a Panthers' fan since their inception.

Happy to be with you guys and gals.

I predict no matter how it comes out, people will overreact one way or the other.

"Super Bowl" or "0-16"...

That is too easy a prediction. You may as well have said, "I predict we will play the Dallas Cowboys in a football game."

I'm not into being Miss Cleo, honestly. I'm way too analytical for that and people hardly ever get those right anyway. Heck, I don't even try and predict season records.

Dak performs about as bad as romo did on thanksgiving 4 int's

stuff zeke 

CMC 3 td's player of the game

Cam 3 TD's 

42-7 Panthers!

[Davidson Deac II]

Both teams changed their offenses during the offseason, and they both want to run the ball.  I predict a low scoring defensive struggle, with the Panthers winning 20-17.

Cowboys-20

Panthers-23

I'm probably more concerned with how we handle Ezekiel Elliot than Dak Prescott, though if their line can protect him he's certainly capable of finding receivers.

The good part? We've had success against elite running backs before. Heck, we successfully blunted the Saints two headed attack. If we can have that kind of performance again, it'd be great.

I think we bottle Elliot up with little problem, make them one dimensional. Dak aint Breese, and they dont have anything other than Zeke.  They might have the most lackluster group of WR's I have ever seen.  At least Buffalo has KB...

This is what gives me the most confidence about the game. The Cowboys strength is something the Panthers typically handle well, and the Cowboys appear to lack the weapons to stress our suspect secondary. The following week against Atlanta though....

Hurns, Williams and Beasley are lackluster?

They're not elite, but I don't think I'd go so far as to say they're lackluster.

Williams is a pretty good number two, maybe even a little underrated.

When you have to tout Cole (Bersin) Beasely as a pillar of your corps, yes it is the very definition of lackluster.

I get the comparison, but Beasley is a lot better than Bersin.

I’m curious about the Rico Gathers matchup. It’ll be his first NFL game but a 6’8” 285 pound TE bears watching.
