The booth on Texans edge Panthers by 3

Charlie Kirkster: "This was a shootout where the better team barely held on. Bryce Young threw 4 touchdowns and Carolina moved the ball at will with 313 yards passing, but Houston's ground game (177 yards) and Nico Collins's 181 receiving yards on a night when nobody could cover him kept the Texans in it—and those 4 sacks of Young made the difference when it mattered."

Texans edge Panthers by 3

Texans 34, Panthers 31. Nobody watching sat down. Bryce Young did the damage for Panthers — 25/34, 313 yards, 4 TD, 2 INT — in a losing effort. C.J. Stroud threw for Texans — 12/29, 215 yards, 2 TD, 1 INT. Mitchell Evans's high-water mark for the year. Through the air: Panthers 313, Texans 215.

The booth on Panthers edge Buccaneers by 3

Riley Parker: "Egbuka got 210 yards on 7 catches because nobody could stay with him, and that's the only reason Tampa Bay hung around long enough to lose by 3 instead of getting demolished." Sierra Vaughn: "Carolina's defense gave up 4 sacks and still won—that's the real story here, because Tampa Bay's line collapsed while Young picked apart a secondary that should've been fresher after forcing Mayfield into 32 attempts."

Panthers edge Buccaneers by 3

Buccaneers had it there to be taken. Panthers took it, 31-28. Bryce Young did the damage for Panthers — 27/34, 368 yards, 3 TD. Baker Mayfield threw for Buccaneers — 21/32, 322 yards, 3 TD — in a losing effort. That is 3 straight games over 250 for Baker Mayfield. Total yards: Panthers 521, Buccaneers 410.

Per OVR point is a division, not a verdict — a cap hit over an overall rating, nothing more. Whether a number is a problem depends on the position and the player, and that is your call rather than the site's. There is no "cut him and save this much" here on purpose: a release in Madden carries dead money, and the export does not carry the figure — so that saving is not something this site can work out, and guessing at it would be guessing at the one number that decides whether the advice is any good.
