Carolina Panthers -- N.Y. Giants
Carolina has no incentive to win today's game. They're locked into the division title and won't be getting a first round bye regardless. They'll be resting all players with any kind of injury and pulling their starters after the first half. That said, their starters will want to run up a lead in the first half to give them a cushion. The Giants aren't that hot on either side of the ball, so expect Carolina to build a lead of some sort in the first half.
With the Panthers' first-string defense on the sidelines, you can expect a lot of scoring in the second half by both sides, with the Giants probably getting more of it.
This leads to the following plays on the game:
Carolina -3 first half
Carolina-NYG OVER the total in the second half.
