THE PREDICTION

Carolina Panthers could only finish 5-11 last year with star RB Christian McCaffrey missing much of the season through injury. He will be back on deck here and the time off may have served him well as he looks to establish himself as the best RB in the NFL. His team take on New York Jets in this season opener with the road team starting a new era under QB Zach Wilson. The overall #2 pick in the draft will be under center here aiming to improve the 2-14 outfit and while he could get off to a good start, the Panthers are just favoured to edge this opening contest.
