Two rookie quarterbacks will be on the field when the fourth-place Carolina Panthers and the fourth-place Minnesota Vikings meet in Week 8 action on the NFL betting board at the Bodog Sportsbook. One of them, though, is at least coming off a Week 7 victory.

And that winner is Cam Newton, who led the Panthers to a 33-20 home victory over the Washington Redskins on Sunday afternoon. Newton went 18-of-23 for 256 yards through the air with one touchdown strike in that win, and also ran for 59 yards and a score.

Jonathan Stewart added 68 yards and a touchdown on the ground for Carolina against the Redskins, while Steve Smith caught seven balls for 143 yards on the day. Brandon LaFell added a TD catch in the win.

The win over the Redskins snapped a three-game losing streak for the Panthers.

Minnesota gave rookie Christian Ponder the start against the Green Bay Packers in Week 7, but he wasn't able to get past the defending Super Bowl champions in a 33-27 home loss.

Ponder completed just 13 of his 32 pass attempts for 219 yards for the Vikings in that defeat, with two touchdown passes and two interceptions. Michael Jenkins and Visanthe Shiancoe each had TD catches for Minnesota in that contest, while Adrian Peterson ran for 175 yards and a score on 24 carries.

The Vikings and Panthers last met in December 2009 in Carolina, with the home side cruising to a 26-7 win as an 8.5-point home underdog in the UNDER result at the Bodog Sportsbook. Overall Minnesota is 2-3 SU and 2-3 against the NFL odds in its last five games against Carolina dating back to 2002.
