2020 NFL picks, score predictions for Week 4

Arizona Cardinals (2-1) at Carolina Panthers (1-2)

Sunday, October 4, 1PM ET

Believe it or not, Kyler Murray is human. We learned that in Week 3 when he threw three interceptions and cost the Arizona Cardinals a win against the lowly Lions. Don’t expect to see an encore of that performance here in Week 4.

The Carolina Panthers haven’t given up a ton of points through the air, but they’re certainly giving up huge yards in that category. Look for Murray to take advantage, feeding DeAndre Hopkins and Larry Fitzgerald all game long. Even David Johnson should get involved as the Cardinals look to gouge Carolina’s suspect defense.

Will Teddy Bridgewater have enough juice to keep up on the scoreboard? I’m thinking not. Christian McCaffrey is still hurt, and the Panthers aren’t exactly loaded with receiver talent. Their offense simply isn’t as explosive as Arizona’s, which is going to make producing points a pain.

Arizona rights the ship here, getting a big road win as Murray regains the confidence and swagger that we saw the first two weeks of the 2020 campaign. As for the Panthers, it’s starting to look like this could be a lost season, as many already expected.

Prediction: Cardinals win 34-20
