Pick:	CAROLINA PANTHERS +5

Analysis:

Free Play from Doc’s Sports. Take #262 Carolina Panthers +5 over New York Giants (9:30a.m., Sunday, November 10 NFL Network) The Panthers won their second game of the season last Sunday and I expect them to be able to take this game down to the wire as well. Do not believe the New York Giants should be favored by this many points against anyone in the league. I have not given up on Bryce Young and feel he will have a good game following a much needed victory last week. Both teams have issues and thus we will grab the points with Daniel Jones likely on his way out as quarterback of the Giants.
