After a truly rough start to their season, the Carolina Panthers are the 1st team to make a change under center this season benching 2nd-year signal-caller Bryce Young in favor of veteran Andy Dalton.
The Red Rifle will be looking to breathe life into an offense that has scored 1 TD in the first two games of the season. He will be looking to breathe life into an offense that has totaled just 245 passing yards through two games. The Red Rifle will be looking to breathe life into a team that is 0-2 on the young season.
The good news? He will be asked to do so against the Las Vegas Raiders a team he has defeated all 4 times he has faced them in his career.
The Raiders (1-1) meanwhile are feeling good after rallying in the 4th quarter to knock off the Ravens in Baltimore. QB Gardner Minshew threw for 276 yards including one for a TD to Davante Adams that tied the game late in the 4th Quarter. The catch was one of 9 on the day for Adams totaling 110 yards.
Sunday, the Raiders are home for the 1st time this season as they host Dalton and the Panthers.

NBC Sports Bet Best Bets
Brad Thomas (@MrBradThomas) and Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) discussed this game earlier this week and were torn.
“Andy Dalton, the Red Rifle is he worth 1½ points? I don’t think so, but I’m going to pass on this game. I just have to say you’re crazy if you’re taking the 5½,” said Thomas.
Dalzell responded, “So you’ll bet Bryce Young (Brad did so in Week 1), but you won’t bet Andy Dalton? I’m disappointed in you Brad. You’ve just got to hold your nose, because that definitely stinks. But yeah, I might be one to take the points here.”
