The Arizona Cardinals and Carolina Panthers are both seeking their first win of the season in Week 3. Carolina limps into State Farm Stadium 0-2 while the Cardinals feel pretty good despite being 0-1-1.
What are some things to watch? In the above video preview, focusing on Panthers RB Christian McCaffrey will be key. He had over 200 yards from scrimmage in the season opener and was limited to just 53 total yards last week.
Tight end Greg Olsen had six catches for 110 yards last week and the Cardinals have struggled to cover tight ends.
The Cardinals sacked Lamar Jackson twice last week and Matthew Stafford three times. Cam Newton was sacked three times last week.
The Cardinals were 2-of-11 on third down. That will have to improve.
In the video, two pick the Cardinals to get a close win and one predicts a low-scoring, one-point loss.
