This week's game against the Carolina Football Panthers sees the Washington Commanders 7.5 point favorites in a matchup between Coaches who are very familiar with each other.
Dan Quinn is 8-3 all time against the Carolina Franchise. Kliff Kingsbury is 1-3 versus Carolina. Quinn coached with Dave Canales in the Pete Carroll Coaching tree. Canales did pretty much everything except waterboy on offense for Seattle.
Tangentially, Kliff was 3-5 versus the Seattle Seahawks as Head Coach in Arizona.
The Over/Under according to Wunderdog is 51.5 with the Public going 75% in favor of Washington. The Sharps apparently are on the Commanders as well.
The Running Game will be key for both teams. Both teams will have to run the ball and stop the run. Neither team is great in run defense.
I basically go on the chess match history between Coaches and Schemes. I think familiarity tends to make things either very close or an out-and-out blowout.
I'm guessing close is more likely giving the volatility of the young but developing Washington Commander defense and the presence of Savvy Panther Veteran QB Andy Dalton.
I'll go with the under. Washington wins 27-24.
Carolina covers. Daniels conducts a game winning drive.
