The key to this game is starting fast. Carolina is undefeated this year when they go up by more than one score. Conversely, they struggle to play from behind; the largest deficit that they’ve overcome is the 9 points that they trailed the 49ers by last week (they won 10-9). If the Pats can start fast and play with a lead it puts Carolina’s offense in a position it doesn’t want to be in. However, if you spot tem a lead, beating them will be difficult because their defense protects the lead well.

Yeah, I totally agree and that’s a little bit why I don’t love it that we’re coming off the the bye and the execution might be a little rusty. But yeah, put the Panthers in a hole and take their running game out of it to some extent and the game starts to favor the Pats. Make Cam throw from the pocket and it’s a recipe for success.
