Panthers vs. Chiefs spread and over/under predictions: Can Carolina stick around?

Panthers vs. Chiefs spread and over/under predictions: Can Carolina stick around?

The Carolina Panthers return to Bank of America Stadium on Sunday afternoon to begin the toughest part of their schedule, starting with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Here are my picks for this week’s game. Rates courtesy FanDuel Sports Betting.

1 Star – Not so sure
2 Stars – A little overconfident
3 Stars – Pretty confident
4 Stars – Very confident
5 Stars – Must be a crash

2-star play on Panthers (+10.5): I might be crazy buying the Panthers, but the Chiefs aren’t setting the world on fire despite winning nine of their first ten games. Seven of their wins have come by a single score, and they have yet to beat a team by more than 10 points.

Being hungover after a loss is a real thing, even for a team as talented and successful as the Chiefs. Losing the first game of the season means something. Now the Chiefs need to rebound against a team they probably don’t take seriously in Carolina. Kansas City wins, but this feels like a game Carolina can run around and protect.

1 star game below It seems like a low total, but for the Panthers to do and maintain what I expect, they will need to maintain that low score. Even in a year where their offense isn’t doing very well, they can’t afford to compete with the Chiefs. We expect Carolina to play clock control and do whatever they can to keep the defense off the field. I’m going to bend down here.
