In week two the Carolina Panthers took care of the San Francisco 49ers at home in a 46-27 victory.

The Panthers said earlier Thursday that they were also monitoring events in relation to Sunday’s game. Other NFL players have followed his lead. Now attention will be shifted toward the Minnesota Vikings who come to Charlotte, NC after defeating the Green Bay Packers 14-17.

This week, head coach Mike Zimmer’s squad heads south to face off the defending NFC champion and Super Bowl 50 runner up Carolina Panthers.

That’s all far away from now, since the Vikings are limping into the game with a relatively new quarterback, a new starting running back and a new starting left tackle.

OUR PREDICTION: The Vikings have been outstanding to bettors for a year and two games but it’s going to be hard for them to keep pace with the Panthers this afternoon.

The NFL has yet to publicly comment on whether the Panthers’ home game will occur as planned at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday or move to another location. If you have a cable subscription, and you are receiving the broadcast in your local area, just fire up the remote and you’re all set.
