Las Vegas - Anyone care to choose between a Baker, a Walker or a Darnold? That's what is on tap tonight as the Panthers host the Falcons. Carolina is a delicious MESS. They gave up THIRTY FIVE points to the Bengals last week, in the FIRST HALF, then fired two defensive coaches (Paul Pasqualoni and Evan Cooper). Oh yea, the head coach, Matt Ruhle was fired just a few weeks ago. So, Baker Mayfield replaced P.J. Walker last week and he guided the Panthers to three TDs.

The Jazz are playing some gorgeous music, sitting on top of the Western Conference with a 9-3 record. However, the Hawks have put together a sweet little hat trick, beating the Knicks 112-99, the Pelicans 124-121, then busting up the Bucks 117-98.

Lamar Jackson will be without All-Pro tight end Mark Andrews, which is a YUGE loss, but he has found two new kids to handle the air attack. Isaiah Likely and Demarcus Robinson both had six grabs against the Bucs last week, and Lamar spread the love to seven receivers.

We know Amazon's gazillionaire, Jeff Bezos, is the frontrunner to buy the club. We know that they've won three in a row. But we also know that they have an UGLY offense. Nothing against Taylor Heinicke, but scoring 87 points in the last six games for an average of 14.5 points per game just AIN'T gonna get it against Minnesota.
