Carolina Panthers vs. Indianapolis Colts
NFL: 1:00 PM EST

TV: NA
Latest Odds : IND -1.5 Total 34.5
Carolina is one team that has decided to pursue a Sam Darnold era. The problem is Darnold never really was that good with the Jets and now is going to have to really come in and perform and that is a challenge for him this year, but he does have a good running back to help alleviate some of the pressure.
With the defense the linebackers are definitely going to be one of the challenges. The Panthers are trying to get a youth movement going here, but it will be difficult for the Panthers as the team is older and has lot a lot of talent at this position.

With the Colts they are going to have to figure out who will be playing quarterback quickly. The Colts have Sam Ehlinger on the roster, but he is a rookie. That will lead to the Colts relying on Carson Wentz and that could be helpful, but Wentz is one player that is easily frustrated.
When it comes to playing defense the Colts could be good, but may not be. The Colts will rely on Xavier Rhodes to help cover the other teams star wideouts. The downside is Rhodes is one player that has been questionable at times in his career.

Free Betting Pick: Indianapolis Colts -1.5
The game here will see the Colts are able to play great defensively as Darnold is not that great of a quarterback. The only saving grace for the Panthers offense is the fact that the Panthers have a strong running back, but even then he is limited by a good defense and that allows Indianapolis to pick up the win. Final Score, Indianapolis Colts win 35-14.
