GAME OF THE MONTH (NFLX)
(NFL) New England vs. Carolina,
Money Line: -125.00 Carolina (Home)
Result: Win
The Carolina Panthers look like a solid home favorite when hosting the New England Patriots Friday night.

Pats QB Tom Brady was great in last week's win against Philadelphia, completing 19-of-26 passes for 172 yards with two touchdowns and no picks. I don't think Bill Belichick will feel the need to give the 41 year old a lot of time on the field here, despite it being the "dress rehearsal" and all.

Carolina star QB Cam Newton was 9-of-12 passing for 89 yards with one TD and one pick in a 27-20 win against Miami last week. Not a bad performance by any stretch, but I expect to see quite a lot of him tonight. "Ideally, we'd like to take our starters into the third quarter," said coach Ron Rivera. "Let them come out from halftime after we've gone through adjustments."
