Match preview
Carolina are -2 point favorites to beat Arizona on Sunday. The odds reflect how tough a game this is to call, with neither side looking tremendous at present. Whichever side loses will face some tough questions from the media as both coaches could already be in the hot seat.
Panthers head coach Matt Rhule needs a strong showing after two disappointing seasons in charge, recording only five wins in each campaign. Kliff Kingsbury could be in trouble in Arizona, as their end-of-season collapses have become a hallmark of his coaching career. With so much already at stake, this should be a good game of football.
