Carolina Football Preview

As our calendars turn to August one thought enters our minds: football. And with football season comes football betting – the best time of year for sportsbooks and handicappers. College football starts very soon. And pro camps have largely opened and those last minute signings are done.

For the Carolina Panthers, Claussen has finally been signed. He got a 4 year deal worth up to 6.3 million dollars. But he is not at the top of the depth chart. Look for Matt Moore to get the opening day start and probably keep in control of the team for at least the first half. Moore was hot the end of last year – but that was helped in large part to playing meaningless games. Carolina was already out of the hunt and playing teams with little left to play for.

Many Carolina faithful are happy to see Delhomme gone. I know myself and others in the blogosphere said that before last season. We are happy for his accomplishments and his super bowl year – but it was time to move on.

Carolina also lost veterans Nail Diggs, Julius Peppers, and Muhsin Muhammed. These are major losses on both sides of the ball. Carolina projects to have one of the youngest opening day rosters. Translation: They lack experience and potential franchise players. They were 8-8 last year – and decided to go the rebuilding route. This may be generous, but I’m predicting them at 6-10.
