The Carolina Panthers and Washington Commanders face off on Saturday in an NFL game at FedEx Field. When these two teams faced off in November of 2021, the Commanders secured the 27-21 victory.
Carolina Panthers
The Panthers finished last season with a 5-12 record and they really didn’t look good during the 2021 season. The Panthers hope that this year is different and there is a big competition going into the season.
Sam Darnold is still on the roster and the team brought in Baker Mayfield to compete against hinm. It seems this is a true quarterback competition and it will come down to who performs better in these preseason games.
If the Panthers want to take the next step forward, they are going to need the offense to find success again.
Washington Commanders
On the other side of the Washington Commanders who are also hoping to take a big step forward this season with the big changes this made this season. Carson Wentz was brought in and he will be the starting quarterback this season.
Behind Wentz is Taylor Heinke and Sam Howell who both should get plenty of playing time in this game. Last season the Commanders pass defense also was an issue, and that is going to need to be something that is improved upon here.
In the first round the Commanders drafted Penn State wide receiver Jahan Dotson and the hope is that he will find success. I expect he is going to get a ton of playing time in this game.

Commanders are 5-1-1 ATS in their last 7 games on grass.

4* Free Week 1 NFL Betting Prediction: Washington -8
If this a regular season game, the play would be with Washington, but it’s the preseason so my play is a different one. Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield being in a QB competition means a lot more playing time for each of them, and I expect they are going to find success in thai game. Back the Panthers against the spread.
