Carolina +7 over Arizona

4:05 PM ET. Arizona is fresh off a Week 1 win over New Orleans, which looks good in the standings but not so much on film. The Cardinals got bailed out by their secondary while the offense sputtered and tripped over itself for most of the afternoon. The market, however, doesn’t care about “how” — it only sees a 1-0 team laying less than a touchdown at home to Carolina. That’s a dangerous assumption.

Bryce Young was bad against Jacksonville. Two picks, a lost fumble, and a 51% completion rate. He looked rattled, he looked small, and he looked like a guy trying to do too much with too little help. That’s all true. What’s also true is that no market in the world punishes a rookie quarterback more harshly than this one does after a clunker. Young is being priced as if he’s incapable of stringing together a competent drive, which simply isn’t the case.

Carolina’s defense had its issues against the Jags, particularly against the run, but this is not Jacksonville. Arizona doesn’t have Travis Etienne, and their offensive line is held together by duct tape. Kyler Murray looked rusty in Week 1, and that’s a problem when you’re being asked to spot more than a field goal with a team that struggles to finish drives.

What we have here is the definition of inflated points. Arizona wins ugly, Carolina loses ugly, and the line balloons to nearly a converted touchdown. That’s where the value lies.
