Panthers @ Vikings
This is a battle of the opposites. The Vikings are scoring 28.8 pts/g and giving up 30.8 pts/g. The Panthers are scoring just 18.5 pts/g while giving up just 14.5 pts/g. I see two things that give the Vikings the advantage. First, they are playing at home. Second, the Panthers points per game numbers are highly skewed by their 38-0 win over the Giants, the second worst team in the NFL. Vikings will win.
