Jalen Coker Gets Strong Prediction Before Panthers-Buccaneers Week 7

The Carolina Panthers are feeling very good about themselves entering Week 7 of the NFL season.

Carolina comes in with a record of 3-2 for the year, with the team looking to grab another NFC South win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Panthers are coming off a gritty performance a week ago against the Philadelphia Eagles, helping them get over the .500 record.

Coming into the game against Tampa Bay, the Panthers are favored to win, especially given how poor the Buccaneers have been this season. Tampa Bay is 1-5 on the year, but they will be getting back starting quarterback Baker Mayfield in the contest.

However, the Panthers are still expected to win this game, with them being at home and having an explosive offensive attack. Carolina has seen a major jump from quarterback Bryce Young this season, with him looking like a franchise quarterback for this team.

Part of this has been due to the play from his strong wide receiving duo, including the emergence of Jalen Coker. Coker has helped make this offense even more electric, giving Young someone else other than Tetairoa McMillan to throw the ball to.

Heading into the game against Tampa Bay, Coker has received a strong prediction from ESPN NFL insider Seth Walder. Walder has predicted that Coker will put up at least 90 yards again this weekend against the Buccaneers.

So far this season, Coker has posted 24 catches for 319 yards and two touchdowns, playing in four games. If the Panthers are going to take down the Buccaneers this weekend, Coker will likely need to have the type of game he's been predicted to put together.

Coker has allowed defenses to come off McMillan at times, giving the star more space to work with. But Coker can do real damage himself as well, forcing defensive units to pay close attention to where he is on the field.

If Coker can put together another strong game against Tampa Bay, it could go a long way for this Panthers team. Tampa Bay's defense has been fairly shaky through the air this season, and Carolina will try to take full advantage here.

The Panthers have one of the better passing attacks in the entire NFL, giving this team a strong identity early in the year. Carolina wants to get back to the playoffs this season, and taking care of business against teams like the Buccaneers can go a long way.
