Carolina Panthers | Insider Trading, from PredictionStrike and Alex True
Hello PredictionStrike family, and congratulations! You made it through another week, and what a week it has been. Rough week so far, especially if you are like me and bought Wayne Gallman (-21%, $0.28) before TNF… What was I thinking??? We live, and we learn. Good to remember, less is more, and sometimes the best investment is to simply skip the game. And trust me, I know it’s hard to pass up on Prime Time games. We do have some good news from Thursday’s game… Nick Folk (+20%, $1.59) keeps fighting the good fight for all us Kicker truthers. #KickersArePeopleToo (maybe some foreshadowing for later)…
But first, I am honored to bring you another Insider Trading
article, focused around one of the most highly anticipated games of the
weekend. No, not Kansas City
vs. Dallas,
or even Indianapolis
vs. Buffalo.
Instead, we are going to the revenge games of all revenge games. WASHINGTON vs.
CAROLINA.
Not only do we have Cam (+.12%,
$6.00) vs. the world, but we also have Ron Rivera, Curtis Samuel
($5.16), Kyle
Allen ($1.22), Joey Slye, and
basically the entire Washington support staff making their first return
to Carolina. There are narratives galore, and money to be made on this game. So
who better to bring in to help on the subject than someone who lives and
breathes Panthers football, Tony
Dunn, Co-Founder of The
Carolina Cat Chronicles. If you live in the Charlotte area, and you follow
the Panthers, I am sure you have already heard about Tony and his #1 rated
Panthers podcast and website. If you haven’t heard of them, I suggest you do
so. Not only do they post great content, but they also provide readers with up
to the minute updates, sweet merch, and even a peer-to-peer ticket exchange.
Seriously good stuff, and even better knowledge of the Panthers, which you will
see first-hand here in a second.
Alex: Alright, we can’t have a Panthers Insider
Trading article without first acknowledging the elephant in the room… “HE’S
BAAAAACCCCKKKK!” I am talking about is no other than Cam Newton (+.12%,
$6.00) and his triumphant return to Carolina. At the time of writing, Cam is
priced at a respectable $6.00, with a 17.86 FPT projection. Is Cam’s return just
a good story, or something we should be investing in?
Tony: Cam is a good value because you are
getting a starting dual threat QB, in an offense that has some real weapons. Christian McCaffrey
(+7%, $16.79) will make Cam's life easy in the beginning, and the excitement
buzzing in Carolina suggests that the more familiar Cam becomes with the
offense, the more they will open the playbook for him.
Alex: You mention, Christian McCaffrey, finally back from injury. CMC is one of the highest priced stocks on PredictionStrike, and for good reason. He’s also one of the highest weekly projected skill position players. It’s a hefty price to pay, and a hefty projection to beat. Is it worth the investment?
Tony: CMC is a blue-chip stock. You're
going to pay a high price because he's the best of the best. Injury is the only
risk that comes with investing in CMC. He does it all; last week totaling 155
all-purpose yards. He's going to continue to get a lot of work as Cam Newton
takes the helm in Carolina. The upside of McCaffrey; that is the sort of
dividend this stock pays, is that he is a volume reception machine. Last week
against Arizona,
CMC had 10 catches. He's the best in the business, and business is boomin’.
Alex: Newton isn’t the only one making a return to
Carolina. A Ron Rivera led Washington
team comes in off a surprising win against Brady (-10%,
$19.55) and the Bucs.
You are the expert on all things Panthers, so that means you also know the
weaknesses. Who, if anyone, on the Washington Football Team, do you see as a
profitable investment this week?
Tony: Washington faces a tough challenge
with Carolina. The return of Cam Newton will have Bank of America rocking. Carolina's
defense has been one of the best in the league against the pass. There have
been times where Carolina has allowed teams to run against them. Dallas ran
all over Carolina's in Week 4 and the Patriots
rushed for 150 yards just two weeks ago. Antonio Gibson
(+24%, $2.39) may offer some value as Ron Rivera will likely want this game to
be a grinder determined by time of possession.
Alex: If you could invest everything into one
PredictionStrike stock, who would it be and why? You don’t have to limit
yourself to the Panthers, nor the NFL. You can pick any athlete in the NBA or
UFC, too.
Tony: Robby Anderson (+23%, $1.65) and Zane Gonzalez (+31%, $8.45) both should be considered buys. Anderson's stock has to have depreciated while Sam Darnold (-.19%, $2.55) was Carolina's quarterback and his case of the dropsies in the first half of the season has to have forced a bottom on his stock price. Anderson was all smiles when he stood beside Cam Newton in the post-game presser after a win over Arizona. Anderson could flourish as his chemistry with Cam on and off the field are abundantly clear. Carolina's field-goal kicker Zane Gonzalez has really found strong footing in Carolina. He's made 14 consecutive field goals. He's a steady performer and should offer steady returns.
