Washington Redskins at Carolina Panthers

This is a bit scary going against the early action, but Carolina is ready to pick up its second win of the season.
Cam Newton is a dual-threat quarterback, not quite up to the standards of Philadelphia's
Michael Vick, but Washington is going to have a similarly tough time defending him.
The Panthers picked up a 16-10 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars as 3.5-point home favorites in Week 3, which was impressive due to Newton throwing for just 158 yards.
He threw three interceptions last week, but I'm not down on him because of it, as I think it will help the team's focus in playing its second winnable game of the year.
I'm not including the season-opening loss to Arizona due to that being his NFL debut.
Washington is in a quarterback controversy again—something that I want no part of.
Pick: Carolina Panthers (-1.5)
