Why Michigan should be able to hang with No. 1 Purdue, plus other best bets for Thursday

The Carolina Panthers will host the Indianapolis Colts next year, which is probably not a game you cared about when you woke up this morning. Hell, it may not be a game you care about now, but it’s a game that got a lot more personal Thursday afternoon because the Panthers announced the hiring of former Colts head coach Frank Reich.

Reich was fired by the Colts about halfway through the season after getting off to a 3-5-1. He got off to a great start in Indianapolis, going 28-20 in his first three seasons with two playoff appearances, but the franchise’s failure to find a QB doomed him in the end.

Now he’ll take over a Carolina team that has failed to find its QB since Cam Newton stopped being CAM NEWTON. The Panthers do have two picks in the top 40 this spring, and it’s possible Reich and the front office could use them to move up and get the QB they want. Whatever the case, that’s one open NFL job off the board.
