Boomer Esiason says Carolina's young quarterback will go wild if the Giants' defensive ends can't keep him from bouncing outside. And it's not just the run. Newton is starting to step up in the pocket -- so Big Blue beware. Craig Carton, meanwhile, thinks the Giants' secondary woes put them in a bad spot. Look for a shootout in Carolina.

Joe Benigno pointed to how Newton and the Panthers were shut down on the ground in Week 1. But last week was a completely different story. If the Giants can't get to Newton, Joe expects to see points, points, points. Evan Roberts is worried about a sloppy game with both teams playing on little rest. Advantage: neither.
