T.M. Selection: Carolina Panthers

I like the Carolina Panthers to win this game against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. All eyes will be on Panthers QB Baker Mayfield during this game. In his return back to Cleveland, the former heisman trophy winner and #1 pick will most definitely want to make a statement. He know's that he is a strong QB, he just hadn't quite gotten back to the incredibleness from college yet. Here at Carolina, he has all the weapons in the world. Starting at RB, Christian McCaffrey is back and ready to have another massive season. At receiver they still have their always reliable DJ Moore, as well as speed threat in Robbie Anderson, and the addition of Laviska Shenault this offseason. On defense, the team added big time CB in Stephon Gilmore. He should be a massive addition to what is already a stacked secondary. After playing lights out in the first few weeks last year, Jaycee Horn got injured and was unable to play the rest of the season. Note that they've never lost a game when he's been on the field. Now for the Browns, with Deshaun Watson suspended, Jacoby Brissett will be the opening day starting QB. He was solid with the Colts, after Andrew Much retired, but he is in a new system now and I expect them to have a bit of getting used to the offense at the beginning of this game. They added Amari Cooper in the offseason and have a really talented group, but I expect the team with home field advantage to come away with the victory to start the year. Let's go Baker Mayfield!

T.M. Prediction: 23-17 Panthers
