Last time the Carolina Panthers were unanimous favorites they lost by 14 points in Chicago. As Carolina rides a wave of two straight divisional wins their confidence is high and so too is the respect of national media outlets.
Miami (4-4) is also having a roller coaster of a season, losing last week on the national stage. The Dolphins offense generated over 300-yards passing behind quarterback Jay Cutler’s three touchdown effort but fell 27-24 to the Raiders.
Carolina needs to maintain pace in the NFC South with a victory as both New Orleans and Atlanta won convincingly on Sunday.
