Why Carolina Panthers are a good bet at -4?

The Panthers had won 3 in a row before running into one of the hottest teams in the NFL in Week 10. While the Steelers stopped the 3^rd best rushing attack in the NFL based on yards per game, Detroit shouldn’t.

Expect Carolina to hand the ball off to terrific RB Christian McCaffrey. Once they set the tone, the Panthers should then utilize their defense to force Detroit quarterback Matthew Stafford into bad throws. The Panthers figure to win and cover on Sunday.

Why Detroit Lions are a good bet at +4?

Down 26-7 at halftime to the rival Chicago Bears in Week 10, the Lions didn’t quit. Instead, Detroit kept playing and actually managed to outscore Chicago 12-0 in the fourth quarter.

Detroit’s never say die attitude means even though they might find themselves behind the Panthers at multiple points on Sunday, the Lions should mount a comeback that leads to a cover against the spread.

Panthers at Lions Final NFL Betting Analysis

Most believe the Panthers bounce back from the horrible loss they suffered in Week 10. That might not happen, though, because the loss was so devastating it might take another week for Carolina to bounce back.

Detroit’s not a great football team. They’ve got a significant advantage in this matchup, though. Lions head coach Matt Patricia made the right adjustments during halftime in the loss to Chicago. He’s a great strategist who should find a way to contain McCaffrey and Panthers’ quarterback Cam Newton.

The Lions might not win, but they should cover.
