Justin Herbert and the LA Chargers (1-0) are in Charlotte this weekend to take on Bryce Young and the Panthers (0-1).
J.K. Dobbins rushed for 135 yards as the Chargers defeated the Las Vegas Raiders last Sunday in Los Angeles to give Jim Harbaugh a win in his 1st game back in the NFL.
Meanwhile in New Orleans, Panthers’ Head Coach Dave Canales was not as fortunate in his debut. Derek Carr tossed 3 TDs and New Orleans scored on their 1st 9 possessions in waxing Carolina 47-10.
Here are a couple of storylines to follow in this game:
Bryce Young as an NFL QB – will we see any sign of growth?
The Saints’ offense under new OC Klint Kubiak – is Week 1’s explosive offense here to stay?

NBC Sports Bet Best Bets
Brad Thomas (@MrBradThomas) actually likes the underdog Panthers in this one.
“I’m going to talk about a very gross bet: Chargers at Panthers. I’m actually leaning Panthers +6. Hear me out! They got blown out last game. A lot of the issues started early, and they couldn’t get back in. The offensive line held up. Top six unit according to PFF last week so I think they hold up. I don’t think the Chargers this year will be a team that blows teams out.”
