Carolina Panthers vs Las Vegas Raiders Prediction

The Carolina Panthers look like the same team they were a year ago, and I'm not sure a switch to 36-year-old Andy Dalton is going to shake things up. The Las Vegas Raiders are a pass-rush-happy defense and are sure to give the Panthers all sorts of fits. The Panthers aren't good on either side of the ball, they lose at an alarming rate, and they've failed to cover 7 of their last 10 games. I want nothing to do with the Panthers. You should be in the same boat. Give me the Raiders by a touchdown.
