My only reason going against Chicago is that Grossman still can't be much more than rusty. And this will be the biggest stage he's played on ever.
Chicago's D is legit, no doubt about it. But can they shut out the Carolina offense?
This has all the makings of a 6-3 or 10-7 game. I'm going with Carolina only because of their experience.
Maybe the Panthers should take a page out of the Steelers playbook and just crash into Grossman's knee.
