Cam Newton missed the opener but they are still 2-1 and tied for first in the NFC South.<\/p>\n<p>A look behind the numbers shows that this team has not been dominating on defense or in the running game, the two staples of their success.<\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63753&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p>Instead, and despite the fact they don\u2019t have elite pass catchers, they have been a top 10 passing offense.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t expect that to continue.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When Cam Newton is on your side you always have a chance. Still I am not liking what I am seeing from Carolina thus far and the fact that Greg Hardy is still out of the lineup is a major factor, especially against a team that is going to want to throw a lot like Baltimore.<\/p>\n<p>The Panthers need to get back to playing Panther football and until that happens I will be waiting for the other shoe to drop.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Baltimore<\/h3>\n<p>When the Ravens lost at home the first week of the season it seemed a lot like a changing of the guard with the Bengals winning in a style reminiscent of those feared Ravens teams. <\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=66501&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p>Since then Baltimore has won both games but with Cincinnati still perfect they are essentially a couple of games back in the AFC North.<\/p>\n<p>This version certainly has its faults but they should be a player in the division race all season long.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Even though their running game was expected to be a disaster the Ravens might have found the answer in the form of Justin Forsett.<\/p>\n<p>Baltimore is going to be a pass first team this season but with Forsett they have found someone who can repeatedly move the ball forward and has good hands as well.<\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63752&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p>The need to keep teams honest and as long as he can do Joe Flacco should continue having success throwing the ball as well.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>NFL Football Handicapping Trends<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Panthers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games in Week 4.<\/li>\n<li>Under is 5-0 in Panthers last 5 games following a SU loss of more than 14 points.<\/li>\n<li>Panthers are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games after accumulating less than 90 yards rushing in their previous game.<\/li>\n<li>Over is 5-0 in Ravens last 5 games after allowing more than 350 total yards in their previous game.<\/li>\n<li>Ravens are 4-0-1 ATS in their last 5 games after accumulating more than 150 yards rushing in their previous game.<\/li>\n<li>Ravens are 0-4-1 ATS in their last 5 games after allowing more than 350 total yards in their previous game.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>NFL Football Week #4 Prediction: \u00a04* Play on\u00a0Baltimore -3.5<\/h3>\n<p>The Ravens are generally a solid team to back at home. \u00a0Look for them to get up early and then hunker down and defend the lead throughout the game.<\/p>\n<p><strong>NFL Score prediction: \u00a0Baltimore 27 &#8211;
