Week 2 BOLD predictions

• Cam Newton will throw at least three interceptions

Honeymoon’s over, Cam. Or at least, it’s back to real life for a week.

Newton had an incredible debut performance, shredding Arizona’s pitiful pass defense for 422 yards and two touchdowns. He tossed just one INT in that game, a 28-21 loss, but the challenge in front of him is about to kick up a notch.

Sure, the Packers allowed more than 400 yards passing to Drew Brees on opening night. But that’s Drew Brees. Green Bay will come after Newton with a variety of blitzes that he hasn’t seen before, and Charles Woodson will do what he can to take away Steve Smith, who had eight catches for 178 yards in the opener and was clearly Newton’s first choice.

I don't think he'll be as successful as last week but I can't see three picks. I expect to see a bit more running to keep the Packer's O off the field.

Whew, predicting a rookie making his second start to struggle against the Superbowl Champs.

Very bold, indeed.

There will be turnovers for sure, but the D has to capitalize on causing more fumbles and picks than the Packers will force.

Cam had 2 picks* against ARI so not a stretch.

*yeah yeah just 1

I'm less worried about Cam making mistakes as I am how how many yards/TD's he throws for and how he looks in terms of his dropback, poise, etc.

And Charles Woodson on Steve Smith? lol

2 weeks ago, saying Cam WOULDN'T throw 3 picks would be a bold prediction

just sayin

Time for Double Trouble to show up

[CRA]

what was his bold prediction last week?

[jayflip]

Cam to Smitty all day long. That's my bold prediction. Here's an even more bold prediction: Panthers 35, Packers 28. Boom.

2 INT's tops... maybe a fumble

my bold prediction: Cam goes over 300 yds passing again.

what was his bold prediction last week?

The sun would rise

I came in here expecting to read that he was going to throw for 400 yards again or something...that would be a bold prediction.
