The Patriots are coming into this match fresh off their victory against the New Orleans Saints this past Saturday. The team’s backup quarterback, Jimmy Garappolo proved to be a force on the field, leading five scoring drives and assisting greatly in helping the Patriots claim their first preseason victory. He also completed 28 out of 33 passes for 269 yards and a single touchdown. Such improved play has proved to be a boost for New England, having seemingly found someone to stand in the place of former start quarterback, Tom Brady.

The Patriots’ victory last week has propelled them in terms of offence into 17th position, according to current preseason stats. Total offensive pass yards stand at 199.5, while rush yards of 88 rank them 23rd. Defensively, the Patriots have given a total of 417 yards away and 23 points scored by opposing teams ranks them 25th.

Carolina’s Panthers claimed a 31-30 win over the Miami Dolphins this past week, providing them with their second victory of the preseason. However, the team needs to place more focus on improving their pass game, with quarterback Cam Newton obviously suffering in his first game without wide receiver, Kelvin Benjamin. Newton completed only four out of 10 passes for 42 yards and nobody else within the team seemed to step up to the plate in the wide receiver position so frequently occupied by Benjamin.

The Panthers are currently firmly placed in second position when it comes to overall offence points. Total pass yards of 254.5 and rush yards of 96 give them a collective total of 350.5 yards taken, giving them a very sturdy seventh placing. However, according to current preseason statistics, the Panthers’ defence needs to also be worked on, currently resting in 27th position following their preseason games against the Dolphins and the Buffalo Bills, both of which ended in just a single point difference between winner and loser.

Jimmy Garoppolo and he did a great job out there completing 28 out of 33 pass attempts for 269 yards and 1 TD pass, Tom Brady facing a beat up secondary managed 13 yards on 2 of 5 passes. The Panthers will be without their center Ryan Kalil and the offensive line is a work in progress this season with new players. Cam Newton like Brady did nothing last week passing for 42 yards on 4 of 10 passes. We don’t like either teams defense, but this line is really high giving us a ton of value on the under side of the total.
