The last two meetings between these teams since 2012 resulted in totals of 52 or higher.
What to Consider With the Eagles: Philadelphia is tough on opposing quarterbacks but are especially stalwart against opposing running backs. In fact, the Eagles have allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to opposing backs this year. No runner has scored a touchdown or gone over 100 yards against Philly yet this season. Where the Eagles have a deficit is against opposing receivers. They have allowed the third-most points to wideouts so far this season.
What to Consider With the Panthers: Carolina is 4th ranked pass defense. The Panthers have also been able to contain receivers. Most important of all perhaps is that the Panthers have permitted the fewest points to opposing tight ends. They do allow a higher than average number of fantasy points against opposing running backs. They rank 12th in points allowed on the run defense and are 24th against the run.
Who to Play:
DeMarco Murray ($6.4K) – The only option in this matchup. Carolina’s receivers just aren’t reliable enough to take full advantage of the Eagles one soft spot. Murray, on the other hand, can rip apart Carolina’s below average running defense.
Murray has carried the ball 20 and 21 times for 83 and 112 yards respectively over the last two weeks, with two rushing touchdowns.
We here at Gambling911.com do not believe this game will go OVER 45 based on how tough these two defenses are. This despite the past recent history between these two teams and each side’s ability to score plenty of points.
