NFL analyst picks Browns to upset Panthers in Week 3
This NFL analyst, as he did last week, predicts that the Panthers will fall victim to an upset this Sunday . . .
Carolina Panthers are exhibiting a formidable offense, ranking second in scoring behind only Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen. Quarterback Bryce Young has been performing exceptionally well, distributing touchdowns to three different receivers. However, CBS Sports analyst Pete Prisco remains skeptical about the Panthers' consistency.
Prisco forecasts an upset result in their upcoming Week 3 game against the Cleveland Browns, predicting a close 23-20 victory for the Browns. Despite being on the road for the second straight week after a dominant win over the Falcons, the Panthers' defense seems to falter as Cleveland's defense proved effective against Tampa earlier in the season.
While Cleveland's defense has been respectable, the absence of defensive standout Myles Garrett presents a challenge. Furthermore, Tampa's struggling performance adds to the unpredictability of the matchup. An intriguing subplot involves the Browns' quarterback situation, with potential backup Shedeur Sanders set to start against the Panthers.
Sanders showed promise in preseason play, but Watson's impressive performance against the Buccaneers has kept him in the starting role for now.
