Carolina Panthers vs New Orleans Saints
To end week two of the NFL season we have a double header with the Panthers taking on the Saints. Bryce Young’s NFL debut didn’t go exactly as planned by throwing for 146 yards on 20/38 passing with one touchdown and two interceptions and one fumble. On the other side the Saints escaped week one in a nail biter against the Titans in a slow game were the kickers the highlight of the game.
Bryce Young will look to bounce back in this match up against the Saints after a disappointing start to his career with several questionable decisions that he made in the week one loss. The Panthers young team will be in for another long game Monday were Young will look to find some rhythm and try to stay afloat in a weaker NFC south.
Derek Carr passed for 305 yards on 23/33 passing with one touchdown and one interception against the Titans in a game were the offensive side of the ball had no luck. The Saints are trying to keep a foot on the offense and when they can plug Alvin Kamara comes back after his suspension.
Score Prediction Panthers 13 – Saints 23
Pittsburgh Steelers vs Cleveland Browns
The Browns defense came out strong against the Bengal’s in week one in a blowout win, were Watson played well despite two turnovers. The Steelers played a bad game in a blowout loss to the 49ers in week one.
Kenny Pickett’s play making and decision making was not very good in week one, as he threw 31/46 passing with 232 yards and one touchdown. The run game was nonexistent in week one as Najee Harris ran for 31 yards on 6 rushes as they had to get away from the run since they faced a deficit early in the game.
Cleveland will hope to start 2-0 since 1993 when Bill Belichick and Nick Saban were on the sidelines coaching. Watson will look to spread out the Steelers defense, but will be interesting as star receiver Amari Cooper is a game time decision.
Score Prediction Steelers 17 – Browns 27
