Carolina Panthers vs Detroit Lions Prediction, Odds & Best Bets

Start with the line: Bryce Young is the current passing yardage leader in the NFL. That’s not a typo, that’s completely true. Now he takes on one of the league’s weaker pass defenses in Detroit.

Carolina’s injury situation is dire, especially at cornerback, which plays right into the hands of Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jared Goff, who hasn’t thrown an interception all season.

It’s hard to see the Panthers creating enough pressure up front or covering well enough in the back end to stop Detroit’s passing attack ripping through them, whether it’s St. Brown, Jameson Williams or Sam LaPorta doing the damage.

Expect a tough day for Carolina’s defense but a fun one for their offense – Chuba Hubbard has been doing big things on the ground, and Young himself is playing some of the best football of his career. His defense, though, is probably going to let him down.
