last year was the first year that i tried future bets & went 1-1...i thought that i would give it another shot...
3*carolina over 9 wins (-105)...
i remember last year there was a lot of hype about carolina going to the superbowl, but injuries sidetracked them from making it the big game....in the very first game they lost both the starting center & starting left tackle for the season. which can help explain delhomme's decreased play.steve smith missed 2 games because of injury & did not play at 100% in many others, jake also missed 3 games, their running back foster missed 2 games, their all pro middle linebacker (morgan) missed 15 games, one of their top d-linemen missed a few games also...& on & on.but they still wound up at 8-8 for the season & played pretty well considering all of the injuries. in 2006 the bears were the only team to force more punts than the panthers...& they had the #7 rated defense in league last year.
this year carolina takes on the 30th toughest schedule in the league..which includes....
non-divisional games against indy(a week after playing in jax.)...,seattle(a week after playing the cards)....,& dallas(a week after playing the eagles)...all at home.....
their road schedule includes games against...
st.louis...,atlanta....,n.o....,arizona(a week after playing at rams)...,tenn.,...green bay ( a week after playing minn.),...jax.(a week after playing the colts),...& tampa bay.
carolina is my pick to make it the superbowl & i see them winning 11-12 games...
good luck.
