Only one team can leave Bank of America Stadium in Carolina with five wins, and the Patriots look like a good bet to make that happen against the Carolina Panthers.
New England comes to town with two straight wins, including a possible season-changing win over the Chargers. Meanwhile, the Panthers’ 2021 campaign had been in free fall until a win over the division-rival Falcons stopped the bleeding.
But Carolina’s talented defensive front, a potentially vengeful Stephon Gilmore—now a member of the Panthers after four seasons in New England—and the return of running back Christian McCaffrey could make this one interesting.
