& analysis)

(season: 37-40; .481)
Philadelphia
Eagles 4-1 (+3.5) @ Carolina Panthers 4-1 (45.5): Panthers 24-23
Thursday, 8:25 PM, Bank of America Stadium, Charlotte, NC (Weather: 40% storms; mid-70s)
Reasons: This
Thursday night the NFL offers one of the best games on paper we’ve seen in what
feels like years as the Panthers host the Eagles. There are only six teams in the NFL with
one or fewer losses so far this season and this game features two of those
teams. The Eagles have accomplished this with a high-flying offense that is 3rd
in total yards and 6th in scoring (27.4 ppg), not to mention top-10 in time of possession (1st), 3rd-down
efficiency (1st), yards
per play (8th) and
turnovers (10th). The
Panthers have succeeded with their great defense, which comes as no surprise,
ranking 2nd in yards allowed and 9th in scoring defense (18.8 ppg). Carolina’s offense, led by
the enigmatic Cam Newton (1237 passing
yards; 8 TDs), has helped their defense all year by holding the ball (2nd time of possession), and
only seems to be getting better. Carson Wentz (1362 passing yards; 10 TDs) has a tough task on the road this week.
Week 6 byes: Buffalo Bills; Cincinnati Bengals; Dallas Cowboys; Seattle Seahawks
Stay tuned for the remaining
Week 6: #NFL Game Predictions (w/ spreads &
analysis) coming Sunday morning!
