Thursday Night Special - Dolphins @ Panthers

Miami Dolphins @ Carolina Panthers
Spread: Panthers, -3
o/u: 42.5
A week or two ago I would have given this game to the Dolphins, easily. Now Ronnie Brown is done for the year, and that severly limits the Wildcat. Yes, Pat White can still run it, and Ricky Williams has been strong out of the backfield, but neither one can do what Brown has done over the past two seasons. Last week, the Panthers faced a strong runner in Michael Turner. Once he went down with an ankle injury, they pulled out a 28-19 win. With DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart healthy enough to be a dangerous backfield combination again, the Panthers will get themselves back in the playoff picture this week.
Pick: Panthers 24 - Dolphins 20
