Panthers at Vikings

The Panthers have lost five straight games and the Vikings have lost two straight.  The Panthers are in desperate need of a win but will need to go on the road to get one.  The Panthers are coming off a bye week and should be fresh for the Vikings.  However, even though the Vikings have lost two straight they have still played well.

So I expect them to win the game.  I think the Panthers will come out and play hard, but in the end the Vikings will get the win at home.

Winner:  Vikings

Score prediction:       20-17  Vikings   

Points spread:      Vikings -2.5

Over/under:  42.5 – Under
