A Factor In The Running And Passing Attacks

McCaffrey and the Panthers are 8-point favorites against the Texans for this Thursday Night Football matchup which suggests that Carolina could be playing from ahead for most of the contest. 

Since Texans quarterback Tyrod Taylor landed on the IR, rookie quarterback Davis Mills will start for Houston, which could lead to a run-heavy, ball-control style game script for the Panthers.

After Taylor got hurt in Week 2, Mills relieved him and was unable to produce much positivity for the Texans.

As a result, the Browns ended up rushing the ball 34 times for 156 yards and three touchdowns en route to their victory. 

Through two games (both wins), he has taken 45 rushes for 170 yards and a touchdown and has caught 15 passes for 154 more yards.

BetQL projects Carolina to score 25 points and McCaffrey to take 18 rushes for 85 yards and a touchdown while also catching five passes for 50 yards in this one.
