-- Opposing rushing attacks has shredded the Bengal defense, to the tune of 4.7 ypc. Cincy's stop unit is just too banged up, as is the receiving corps. Meanwhile, things are looking up for the Panthers, who have won four straight games, and have Steve Smith back to full strength, to say the least. Smith went for 189 yards against Baltimore last week and now has 450 in four games. he helped this offense noticeably improve in its third-down conversions, going 7-15 against one of the league's better defenses. Carson Palmer not explosive yet in comeback from injury, and Chad Johnson bothered with a shoulder injury. Take note - Carolina has covered 18 of its last 21 as an underdog.
