Lions vs. Panthers Prediction – Lions -3.5
Expert NFL Pick:
Lions are going to expose the Panthers completely. For anyone still thinking Carolina might repeat last year’s results, this game will show they won’t. Beating the quarterback-less Falcons, who stat-padded their numbers, and the Lions will show the difference between a true playoff team and a false one.
The Lions have one of the worst defenses in the league; they rank worst in points allowed (31.7) but third-most efficient, with 31 ppg. Yet their rivals were the Saints, Bills, and the Jets. Way tougher than the Panthers’. Also, their offense will blast the Panthers because it’s much more diverse. Jahmyr Gibbs has 4 rushing and 2 receiving TDs so far, Jared Goff threw 8 TDs without an interception, while Amon-Ra St. Brown caught 5 TD passes.
Young leads the league in passing yards, but his rivals were the Bears, Falcons, and Browns, and we didn’t get the impression this team improved over last season. The stats are there, but mostly because of a 59-37 loss to the Bears and a win over the beheaded Falcons.
