Panthers vs. Raiders Prediction

I’m leaning towards the Raiders here. I think the under is worth a look as well, but I don’t think the QB change is going to help Carolina here. I think the Panthers failed Bryce Young as they’ve done nothing to really help build him up. Young may be a 1^st overall pick, but he was also thrown into the fire in a bad situation and while Dalton’s a veteran, it doesn’t make the situation any easier. Las Vegas has all sorts of confidence after taking out the Ravens and I think that the Raiders get another W here so I’ll side with Las Vegas in this one.
