4. Cam Newton will put on a show in his first start of the season for Carolina
After coming up with two touchdowns that shifted the momentum for the Panthers last weekend in their dominant showing against the Cardinals, Cam Newton will look to build on this success while re-establishing his footing in the NFL. With plenty still left in the tank for Newton, there's no doubt that he'll be playing like a man possessed in his mission to prove all the haters wrong and get back to playing MVP-caliber football on a weekly basis.
Considering the shortcomings the Panthers have had on offense this season, bringing back Newton will prove to be more of a high reward than high risk scenario for Carolina. His athleticism, strength, and playmaking abilities are all qualities that the Panthers can benefit from for the remainder of the season. So come Sunday afternoon, we can all expect to see a strong performance from Cam Newton in his second stint as the Panthers starting quarterback.

Playing through another injury-plagued season, Christian McCaffrey is now back in the Panthers line-up after being sidelined by a hamstring injury during their Week 3 match-up against the Texans. As one of the league's most explosive players, CMC has built a reputation for dominating the game out of the backfield and on the receiving front.
As he works tirelessly to get back to full form, McCaffrey will be bringing his A-game against Washington while working to fill up the stat sheet and add to his resume of highlight reels. In a pivotal Week 11 match-up against the Washington Football Team, CMC will be out with a vengeance and aiming to make up for lost time while continuing to showcase his versatile skillset.
2. Shaq Thompson and Haason Reddick will both have a big game for the Panthers
Currently one of the NFL's most potent linebacking duos and a tenacious 1-2 punch in the Panthers frontline, Shaq Thompson and Haason Reddick will be out for blood against a wildly inconsistent Washington team that will be gunning for their second straight win this season. With their dominance, elusiveness, and aggressive play, Thompson and Reddick will be like bone rushers coming full speed at the Washington offense with their all.
This dynamic duo's bound to make some noise on Sunday afternoon in their fight to get Carolina over .500 on the year. During Sunday's big showdown, Thompson and Reddick won't be messing around so the Washington Football Team better be ready for the whirlwind of chaos that's headed their way.
1. Carolina will beat Washington and improve their record to 6-5 on the year
With the Carolina Panthers being one of the more youthful and athletic teams in the league, it's hard to overlook them as a dark horse playoff threat – especially with the return of CMC and the recent addition of Cam Newton. Granted they have had their shortcomings this season, but the Panthers have still shown a ton of potential and could be onto something if they can pull out another colossal victory against Washington on Sunday. Given all their talent and depth on both sides of the ball, it's hard to imagine the Panthers not coming away with the W in Week 11.
