In any normal pandemic-ravaged season there would be a certain set of unpredictability for the NFL season, particularly early on. That uncertainty is amplified in this match-up between the almost entirely new look Panthers offense and the overhauled Raiders defense.
Panthers offense
My how the mighty have fallen. Looking at an offensive depth chart devoid of names like Newton, Olsen, and Turner makes my heart ache. While these stalwarts have been moved along to new destinations, the Panthers do have quite a bit of firepower on offense. This is probably the best set of skill position players the team has had in a long time, possibly ever.
