There is reason to be optimistic about the Panthers\u2019 new-look offense,\u201d <\/strong>an analyst from FanDuel told Casino.org.<\/em> \u201cBridgewater is an upgrade and proven starter, they\u2019ve invested in the O-line, and they have a talented receiving corps to complement Christian McCaffrey. The new coaching staff offers an interesting new dynamic.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\nRhule rebuilt Baylor following a sexual-assault scandal. He has a major rebuild on his hands in Carolina. Offensive coordinator Joe Brady guided a prolific LSU offense that resulted in the Tigers winning the national championship and quarterback Joe Burrow the Heisman Trophy.<\/p>\n
Still, Carolina has a lot of new pieces, and the COVID-19 cancellation of off-season workouts probably won\u2019t help it all come together.<\/p>\n
Sportsbooks are in agreement on an over\/under of 5.5 wins. At BetMGM, the bet is -120 on the over and +100 on the under.<\/strong><\/p>\nMcCaffrey Makes Magic<\/strong><\/h2>\nWith the prolific McCaffrey piling up yards as a runner and receiver, Carolina has at least one X-factor for Brady\u2019s offense. Last season, he led the NFL with 2,392 yards from scrimmage and 19 total touchdowns. He was third with 1,387 rushing yards and second with 116 receptions.<\/p>\n
\n
Since MVPs generally come from elite teams, McCaffrey might not win that award. However, he\u2019s tied for second at DraftKings at +1,000 to win Offensive Player of the Year. His over\/under for total yardage at DraftKings is 1,900.5.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Rhule is +3,000 to win Coach of the Year at FanDuel, as he takes over a team with three losing campaigns in the four seasons since going 15-1 and reaching the Super Bowl in 2015.<\/strong><\/p>\nThe key will be Bridgewater, who suffered a career-threatening injury in training camp in 2016 and missed most of the 2016 and 2017 seasons. Last year, he replaced the injured Brees to direct the Saints to a 5-0 record. He\u2019s got weapons, with the fleet Anderson joining D.J. Moore and Curtis Samuel at receiver.<\/p>\n
