What to Watch For
TE Greg Olson is Key for Carolina: Carolina's Greg Olsen is one of the most underrated pass catchers in the league, and continues to go unnoticed as one of the more consistent tight ends in the league. He is No. 2 among TEs with 539 receiving yards.
Turnover Margin: The Carolina Panthers commit fewer turnovers in 40 percent of simulations, winning 54 percent of simulated games when they take care of the ball. The Philadelphia Eagles win 64 percent of the simulated games in which they commit fewer turnovers (60 percent of sims).
Cary Williams vs Carolina Receivers: According to Pro Football Focus, Panthers’ Kelvin Benjamin tends to line up as the left wide receiver. Philadelphia CB Cary Williams is practically always the cornerback on the right side, meaning the two will match up often Monday night. Keep an eye on this matchup because Williams has been beat multiple times this season for long plays. Pro Football Focus states Williams enters this week having allowed 436 yards and 3 TDs this season. He has no INTs.
