The Panthers are another team that avoided an 0-2 start. They overcame a tough challenge from the New Orleans Saints on Sunday for a 35-27 win. It will be interesting to see how the defenses fare in this contest. Especially after these two teams averaged a combined 38 points in their recent wins.
It should be noted that the Giants’ win came over a Tampa Bay team that shut down the Carolina offense in a 16-10 week one win. The Panthers will have their hands full in week three. The opening line favors New York by just 1.5 points.

The fourth week of college football technically gets underway Wednesday when Buffalo hosts Kent State. All eyes will be on No. 24 Boise State Thursday as the Broncos look to improve to 2-1. They host the BYU Cougars.
A 17-13 opening loss at Michigan State was hard for Boise State to handle. Especially considering how close it was. The fact that there isn’t another ranked opponent left on their schedule means one thing. The Broncos have to win every game big in order to earn the respect they feel they deserve.
Surprising Louisiana-Monroe will host Baylor on Friday. This is following another close overtime game against an SEC opponent, losing 31-28 at Auburn.
The Warhawks are quickly becoming one of the stories of the season early on, and another big upset will bring the program even more attention.
