I think we will have a good second half if we keep our players healthy.
Carolina's two losses came on the road and they have only had three road games all year so far. We will catch them on the third road trip in four games and the second of two in a row on the road. Always tough to win in that situation. The home team winning percentage in this scenario certainly favors us here.
The Saints are now without Grant on the DL who was their best defensive player on a very average unit. They win throwing it with their RB's beat up and that's our strongest suit. I think we can score enough and shut them down just enough in their passing game to win.
I would say the worst case scenario is we lose one of these two but both games are certainly winable. We need to beat the Vikes Sunday and then get over the hump with the Bears at home. We do that and get some momentum going I believe we will get past Carolina.
We went from one of the most beat up teams to one of the healthiest and if we can keep away from guys going down the list of players on other teams is growing every week. Who's healthiest always plays a big factor in the second half of the NFL season.
