Carolina Panthers

New York Jets

Carolina is currently ranked 27th in passing yards, fourth in rushing yards, 19th in points scored, and tied for 21st in points against. Quarterback Bryce Young has shown signs of improvement and just had a solid game against the Cowboys. Their rushing game has been very strong and Dowdle is ranked fifth in the league in rushing yards. The Panthers overall defense is still giving up a lot of points, but the run defense is ranked ninth in the league. That will come in handy against a Jets team that can really only run the ball on offense.

New York is currently 32nd in passing yards, fifth in rushing yards, 25th in points scored, and 28th in points against. Last week, the Jets' passing game averaged 1.4 yards per play and their star receiver, Garrett Wilson, is doubtful for this game. This will just lead to New York running the ball a lot and Breece Hall ranks 11th in the league in rushing yards. The defense has had some moments of greatness, but the rushing defense has struggled. Also, three of their losses have been by two points or fewer.

Best Bet: Under

This game is basically a pick'em because both teams are all about the running game and the passing game can be inconsistent. Sure, both teams are below average on defense, but the Panthers run defense is solid. Carolina will have off and on good drives and get some points, while the Jets will continue to struggle to find a consistent offense.
