Thanks to Mike, Raider, JG, BAD, 312, AWR, BT, CB, TLF & 56 for stopping by. BOL this evening.
Over the L25 games, CAR ranks higher than DET in 14/15 inputs. CAR ranks in the T10 in 9/15 inputs while DET does in 0/15. DET ranks in the bottom third in 15/15 inputs while CAR does in 4/15. CAR avg rank across all inputs is 10th while DET is 26th. Over the L25 games, I have CAR ranked 29 spots higher (2v31). CAR will have the edge in goal with Andersen ranking 79th (-4.5) in GSAE while Nedeljkovic ranks 92nd (-10.6). CAR has won 12 of 13 vs teams with a WP<55 while DET has lost 9 of 10 played on 1 day rest. CAR is coming off a couple of tough losses to BOS and TBL where they won the xG battle in each game but came up short on the scoreboard. Over the L3 seasons, CAR is 18-6 on a 2-game losing streak and I expect a big effort tonight.
Carolina -1/2 (-130)
