The Charlotte Observer begins a new feature this week as we compile predictions from the four staff members who cover the Carolina Panthers most closely: two beat writers, one sports columnist and the sports editor who supervises them all. Although some of these folks were already picking the Panthers’ game every week on various platforms, from now on you will find those picks in one place for ease of comparison.
The New England Patriots (4-4) are favored by roughly a field goal over the Panthers (4-4) in Sunday’s 1 p.m. game on CBS. As for our panel, there were mixed feelings as to how it will turn out Sunday.
