| RolStoppable said: The Cowboys are America's team and nobody likes the Panthers. Bias is all one needs to arrive at a Dallas pick. Three weeks ago it already felt like the Panthers could go 16-0 and some people still wouldn't take them serious as Super Bowl contenders. |
I know a lot of people wanted the "From The Ashes!" story to happen for Dallas but you'd hope a professional analyst would be above that. Then again, most sports writers lean more on concepts like "they'll be extra fired up today" than they do on actual analysis.
I still think the Panthers are going to lose a couple of games down the stretch--they're very good but not great--and it's going to be a free-for-all of told-you-so articles from the sports media. They're going to pounce on it with glee and suddenly Carolina will be lumped in with the 2nd tier Packers and Jets of the league.
