Total makes me nervous. I want to say under which means it will probably go over.

Gotta go with Carolina +7 and over 38. Just my personal opinion, but I think New England will be depending entirely too much on Ted Washington to carry their defense. A lot of times when one man is the cornerstone of either offense or defense and something happens (either he gets hurt or stopped) the entire offense/defense goes to hell in a hurry.

I agree that the total is a crapshoot. I also teased with the total to grab another 6 points. But I wouldn't be surprised to see them score more.
I guess I see that New England is so well-rounded that they make up for each other's weaknesses. I can't get past the fact that they've won 16 in a row and that they've covered most of them.
Best of luck,
